Gnark1ll Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Hey all. I have an issue with DCS world and the A-10c module. I activated and registered the code long long ago (been playing this series since vanilla Lock On), but the code no longer shows up in module manager OR on my profile on the DCS website. Now I have only just noticed that I now actually have 2 codes...in Steam on 'My Games' list I have a serial number along with the original 'Digital Combat Simulator- A-10c' but I also have one under 'DLC' for the new entry on the game list 'DCS World'. I have never installed DCS World via Steam, I always use to get teh .exe from the site, and I am currently reinstalling everything to try and solve this, since I can play A-10c but I CANT get access to the online, and Im particularly concerned that my account does not show the module I have. It just says I dont own anything. So before I screw it up, anyone know which code is most likely the right one, (the one showing as a DLC for DCS WOrld, or the one that caem with my original purchase of A-10c from way back?) or any idea why 'DCS a-10c' isnt showing up on my account as purchased? I really want this sorted because Im planning to buy FC3 (still playing FC2 atm) and I dont want to add another game to the account and screw things up further. Thanks all. (by the way, there seem to be a lot of people who are having this problem, and no advice yet on how to fix it.....kind of adding my voice to the clamour really, because it is pretty annoying)
Gnark1ll Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 Well I uninstalled and reinstalled everyything (well DCS WOrld and A-10c all from the site, not from Steam) started it up, looked in module manager where listed is:- A-10c (excpected but with no key still) FW190 (not expected, I have not purchased or installed this...unless its free now like the Su25?) Su25 (expected...fine) So, I go into multiplayer and get the server list, join one...and it works! I have not entered the either of the keys at any stage after the reinstall...A-10c still not showing up on my account on the site, BUT it is working and so is MP so I suppose just not worry about it and it will be rectified at some point? Anyway, V happy it works but confused as to why reisntalling made it work, especially as I never re-entered a key or anything. Though this is kind of solved, I still wouldnt mind finding out what is going on with the activation process here. I only have the one account so its not anything to so with that... Upgrading to FC3 at the weekend, maybe registering that will give me an option to add the A-10c key again or something...
Gnark1ll Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) OK I am all fixed up now I think... I found this link http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/myserials.php does show my serials, although thats supposed to be just for the multiplayer accounts or something...according to - http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/introducing_serial_numbers_management_for_multiplayer/ Still a bit confused, my game is still not showing on my account in the normal place, but at least its showing SOMEWHERE.... oh and above all it works ofc. (Ps my game is now showing in serial numbers manager, so something obviously got updated somewhere along the line when I logged in a server online....dont know if a serial is now showing in 'module manager' in game, but Ill have to check tomorrow...bedtime, lucky I got it sorted quite fast or I would have been up all night doing this sort of thing : D)) Edited August 29, 2013 by Gnark1ll
