red2112 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I can´t seem to get BS2 Upgrade (spanish & english) version 1.1.1.1 to load MP games, so aim missing part of the fun! I tried both SPA and ENG versions of the upgrade and with both, I get a .exe error (windows has encounterd a problem DSC BS2.exe and must close this program), which brings me back to the BS2 splash screen (GUI). This happens while mission loading, either by client or as server. I can get in to the "master server" via my login/pass, but when I try to jump into a server and mission loads... while loading objects and land, i get the error. If I try to install the "Russian Inf Hotfix", I get a msg that says "DCS A-10 ENG must be installed".....????? It´s not my internet connection because I have no issues with BS1.2 So I figure I should do a "real" clean install and looking for help... Thanks! My specs: ASUS Barebone Dual core E5700 3@ 250GB HD 2GB Ram nVidia GT440 XP SP-3 So far any help from DCS support is MIA... Care, Red out... Edited June 27, 2012 by red2112 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

red2112 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) buying the game would help. I bought the game from DCS online store and have a activation key (s/n), other wise the game would not start... fool! or could have not upgraded from BS1.2! Why would I wanna mess-up my original BS1.2 with a non original upgrade to BS2? Makes no sence to me and 19$ isn´t much, but you seem to know there´s a cracked version out there! So your smarter then me... Keep your smat comments to yourself if your not gona help! Edited June 28, 2012 by red2112 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

cichlidfan Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Regarding your install. Is it possible that you installed BS2 into the same folder as BS1? BS1 has to be installed and activated but BS2 installs in a separate folder and does not touch/use any part of the BS1 install. From a functional standpoint, the fact that it is an upgrade should not matter. If you wish to reinstall, then I would leave the working BS1 installation alone and just remove and reinstall BS2.

No, BS2 is in a separate folder named DCS Black shark 2, but in the same folder for Eagle Dynamics. The Eagle Dynamics folder has two folders (DCS Black Shark and Ka-50). I tried a install to a different folder for BS2, but that didn´t work either. I tried reinstalling BS1.2 and then BS2 and that didn´t work either... Today I also disactivated and reactivated my BS2 s/n, but no joy either. Both purcheses are about a week apart, so it´s not like I bought BS1 a year ago. I think I did mess up the first install... I bought BS1, then patched to BS1.1.0c, then patched to BS1.2... a week later I upgraded to BS2. So the first time with BS2, I had 3 versions on my dsktop. BS1.1.0c. BS1.2 and BS2 upgrade. 10308 port is open, so I don´t think it´s a port issue and BS2 has a exception on my firewall. I read that I should have installed BS2 upgrade on BS1.2. Either way both have been installed from scratch and noting has changed. You can tell that the uninstall is not clean, because each time I install BS2 upgrade, my logbook and joy set-up (controls) are still the same, so there´s a file(s) somewhere that the uninstall dose not remove! Some type o .lua file I guess... DCS Support has nothing to say for now... Thanks! Edited June 29, 2012 by red2112 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Jona33 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Users/Your user name/Saved games/DCS Black Shark 2. Delete that folder, if needed make back ups of any custom missions or control configs. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

Just tried that, (new BS2 upgrade install) and yes new logbook and no control config but still can´t jump in a server... same error. Desesperado! Edited June 28, 2012 by red2112 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
red2112 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 FIXED!!! Thanks Jona33 and Cichlidfan and sorry for not posting in the "bugs/problems" thread, didn´t see that. The "boot.ini" file trick worked! The reason it didn´t work the first time for me was because I copied/past the string line but didn´t add the 3GB/ to it! Happy camper know! Having to choose 3GB or not at start-up is a bit of a hassel, but I can live with it, but I can´t live wihtout my BS2 :-) Thanks again, Care, Red...out PD Seems the troll is not so troll!
