Crashdown Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I don't think I'll buy it. I will have to think about it. The compatibility with A-10 is nice and all, but most of the improvements don't interest me that much. I would get it in an heartbeat if it included the the Ka-50Sh/N, even if they aren't in production, but I think I'll pass for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucic Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 The ROF guys cheat through making a WW1 sim. :P :D Well, not really cheating, but I'm sure you agree that there's a certain difference in complexity between simulating a WW1 bird and WW1 battlefield, and doing the same for modern aircraft and the modern battlefield. I think it's fair to say that the level of complexity of a whole WW1 aeroplane to a contemporary HSI (horizontal situation indicator) :D EA's Origin software spies the daylights out of your PC. They then feed you advertisements aside from selling your data to who-knows-where. I'm stuck here... I used to describe some companies as 'privacy whores' and now I don't know how to call EA :huh: How ever I'm loving the new flight characteristics. Much more realistic. Just kidding ;) What I am trying to say here is that the detailed list of changes has to be posted. The one from the press release is to vague. Especially for those who participated in the 'outstanding bugs thread'. 2 F-4E Phantom module for sale -25% non-Steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisBelle Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yes 1.0.2 english version. erghh...sorry...please what?...1.0.2? Haven´t you read about the need of BS2, BS1 1.0 Version to be installed and not 1.0.2 Verion? If the new installer hasn´t been uploaded yet, so try it by removing the whole thing and install it again and do not patch the game. Just leave it blank. Go ingame shortly, return and exit. Then try to install BS2. BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I've read extensively what's happening/happened and what needs to be done. Pardon my ignorance if you did so already, but did you try uninstalling the 1.0.2 first? E.g. go to Control Panel -> Uninstall a program -> "Black Shark 1.0.2" (and NOT "DCS Black Shark") -> Uninstall? It might be tricky to find it if you're expecting the patch installation entry to be named the same as the game but for some reason it's missing the "DCS" in front of the name. Just went through the same procedure on my laptop and it worked.. I was hoping that the BS2 would run better on my laptop than BS because I had the same feeling that the Warthog runs better and I believe it does (those micro stutters are gone now, I'd say). i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

MTFDarkEagle Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Like I said, I know what the procedure is. However, given the amount of editing/modding I've done to my installation I don't want to uninstall it yet as I fly with my squad in BS1 for now. I'll wait for a fixed exe.

chromium Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Have a solution, worked for me (tested yesterday online, no issue and every personal config retained): 1. Rename BS1 vers. 1.02 folder. 2. Uninstall BS1 (won't touch your renamed folder); 3. Install BS1 vers. 1.00 in the same old position; 4. Install BS2. 5. Delete BS1 vers. 1.00 folder and rename the BS1.02 backup folder as before. Give a try, maybe... but I can't guarantee: too many possible unknow issues ;) 1 Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Openbeta: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Dudikoff Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Exactly. That's why I'm waiting for a fixed exe. I was just about to propose the same. Just make a copy of the entire folder, uninstall 1.02, install BS2. Then reinstall 1.02 and run it again to see if everything checks out. If not, just copy your backed up folder over the installation and it should be ok. If anything goes wrong, just uninstall the whole BS, reinstall it, reinstall the patch and copy your backed up folder over it. You can't lose your work. The only thing in question is whether your mods are potentially blocking the 1.02 uninstallation, but I think the uninstall will just ignore any possible errors and continue till it's done. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg.

leafer Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It's a professional business, not some shady here-today-gone-tomorrow discount website.

I know my boss periodically asks to see the sites employees visit at work from IT, but I don't know how this stuff shows up as on these report. 1 ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krippz Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 What a Game Version do you have installed, english or somethings different? What the heck ist Direct2drive.com? Get the files directly from the ED Homepage, you dont know what files you got from direct2drive.com. Download After you finished the download, install it and get into the game, if a activation is required so theres somethings different to your previous version, which means that you´re on a good way. get into the game and leave it again, apply BS2 installer, it should work then. You shouldn´t need to uninstall any previous versions, or even do not run any regestry cleaners. Just download, install and start the BS1 installation. That should work. Crossing fingers for you, mate Okay so I've downloaded the version from the website and the Black Shark 2 exe could not find my installation as well. So I've noticed that with both the Direct2Drive installation and the downloadable version from the website the game never prompts me to enter a authentication code; I have to enter the game's directory and manually run the protect.exe to activate when I do this a code is already there and nothing needs to be entered. Guess I have to wait for the updated exe to get uploaded to the site.

I for the life of me cannot understand how this installation fiasco was not picked up on prior to the product release :cry:. You've tried downloading 1.0 from DCS's website. Installing it somewhere else, not patching it, running it, starting a mission and activating it with your BS1 key, closing it down then installing the BS2 patch? That worked for a friend who wasn't able to get his BS2 running properly.
