shek Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi to all. ... I apologise if this the wrong place for this thread. ...I purchased online [from digsim.com] BlackShark 2 and Combined Arms downloads. I noted that these modules have to be downloaded into DCS World [which it states is a free download]. Despite that I have received an acknowledgement of payment, and despite that I have selected the appropriate codes, I cannot get the downloads to work. Everytime I select `download`I am presented with a module poster [or artwork if you like]. when I click that out I simply get the `download` button again which will then give me the poster again, and so on for ever and ever. Exactly the same results occur when I try to download the `free` DCS World. ....I`m not very `PC savvy`, and this is driving me up the wall. ...I`ve emailed Customer Support and have received no reply. Has anyone else had this problem and can maybe offer me any advice ? ...I would be very grateful. ...Thankyou !!! :helpsmilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Your description is about downloading through the module manager, correct? An alternative while this is being looked into is to download from the website: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/dcs_world/ You can download either normally through the browser, or via the supplied BitTorrent links. Then simply double-click the downloaded file and it will detect your DCS World install and get you going. EDIT: Also, can you give me your ticket number? I can look at the support ticket.

shek Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 EthrealN, ...Thanks for your reply, much appreciated. ....No, I am not trying to download through the module manager. My understanding is that DCS World `IS` the module manager and should be downloaded first, then everything else must be downloaded into this. It is stated to be a `free` download, though I have been unable to download it. Every attempt fails in the manner I initially described. Just in curiosity I attempted to download my purchased modules without DCS World, using of course the correct purchased codes. These attempts also failed in exactly the same manner. I am rather elderly and not exactly `computer savvy`, but yes I have tried downloading from the web site with just the same results. The purchased modules which of course I have not been able to download are:- BlackShark 2 and Combined Arms. .....My ticket number is 25765. I am grateful to you for your reply and your concern !

AtaliaA1 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 That sounds like a permission thing in the administers section of your Operating system. In other words someone turn off download ability on the user name you are signing onto that computer with. Sign onto that PC with the main users account. and you will be on your way. You will also want to click make this game available to all users when you go to install it. Have fun. Older guy he says.......Wow. can't get my Dad you use email.

Azrayen Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Got someone who had that too in France. He worked it around by using a different browser. He had the issue with IE. It worked with Firefox. ++ Az' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
