Dudester22 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) I wish they would make things a little clearer with the new install when you are patching this game. I just download torrent rather then update through the menu, but when I try to install I get the message that it is already installed and I cannot install to same folder because addons may stop working. Then goes onto say "You can repair or update DCS world menu items." WHAT? I just pressed ok but nothing happens and with no info on how to install this anywhere I'm stumped. Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to do? Thankyou!! Edited April 30, 2013 by Dudester22
EtherealN Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 To install into the same folder, uninstall what you previously had. As it said, installing into the same folder can break your install. In your start menu, you have Repair and Update options for DCS World. The "ok" you selected was "okey, I read what you told me".

So why is it telling me "You can Repair DCS World or "Update DCS WORLD menu items" if it wants me to uninstall everything? Sorry, but I'm still clueless as to what I am suppose to do. Am I suppose to uninstall the whole thing? Repair whatever and Update whatever menus it's talking about? Jeez.. I'm used to installing things but this is taking the biscuit. Will I also lose my FC3 game I bought online if I do have to uninstall all this? Edited April 30, 2013 by Dudester22

Repairing downloads the files from the server if the checksums don't match and updating updates to the newest version. It can't be any clearer...

I purchased it online so will I need my serial keys and all again? Edited April 30, 2013 by Dudester22
EtherealN Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 It is detecting that you are installing into the same folder as a location where you already have the programme. It is then informing you that you can instead elect to perform a "repair" or "update" and that an install is thus not necessary.

The whole point is I know whats it's telling me, but which one am I suppose to do? I keep asking if I am suppose to uninstall the whole game or what? I have said I have the torrent already to go but which of of the three things you mention am I supposed to do lol. I don't really want to uninstall the whole game if it can be helped, but if you just say that is what I'll have to to do then so be it. Will I also lose FC3 I purchased after the uninstall or do I just have to reinstall it using serial key? Edited April 30, 2013 by Dudester22
