DCS World And AMD Gaming Evolved

[SkateZilla]

Anyone know how to manually add DCSW?

 

It adds the Steam version but when I try to manually add the non-steam version, it it says it cannot find the execution file.

Well, as for me I have definitely no DCS world in my AMD evolved list AT ALL. Only DCS Black shark available there!

I Manually Added DCSW to JSON File,

 

AMD GE has been setup to only detect Steam, Origin, etc, it not detect DCSW outside of STEAM.

[Dishwood]

Phew, what on earth is a JSON file and where to find that?

However as I understood, having that stuff in Evolve makes only sense if there are also other people around, so the prog can make sort of statistics?

I'm having trouble getting Amd Evolved to work with DCS, game crashes upon loading mission.

Disabled Amd and it works great..

I'll Write the Easy Step By Step ( I Usually just open in Notepad++ and Edit the string, but it's easy to mess it up).

 

Step by Step:

1. Close Gaming Evolved. (Make sure it's not running in tray as well)

2. Start Orb, in the SEARCH Box, type: %APPDATA%

3. Goto /Raptr/Data/ Folder

4. Copy "game_detection_pc.json" to a Convenient folder (or desktop)

5. Goto: http://www.cleancss.com/json-editor/

6. Open the JSON File,

7. Click the Format Icon:

 

8. Click inside the TEXT, and then Press CTRL+F and Search for DCS World.

 

9. Starting at Line 125434 and through 125458 Change the Data

From:

    {
     "region": null,
     "mapped": {
       "game_detection": [
         {
           "primary_key": "3943e5ddeb4f9eb2460ae0ef3e35b168",
           "checkfile": "",
           "gameexe": "steamapps\\common\\DCSWorld\\bin\\DCS.exe|steamapps\\common\\DCSWorld\\bin\\x86\\DCS.exe",
           "s.MAPPINGS.gxlgame": "73178488803736735e9469b8e85883d2",
           "trucregkeyat": "",
           "defaultdir": "",
           "edition": "(Steam)",
           "launchexe": "steam.exe",
           "gameid": "gxl-dws",
           "longname": "DCS World - Steam",
           "s.OBSOLETE": "n",
           "appendregkey": "",
           "regkey": "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Valve/Steam/InstallPath",
           "launchflags": "-applaunch 223750"
         }
       ]
     },
     "primary_key": "73178488803736735e9469b8e85883d2",
     "title": "DCS World"
   },

 

TO:

    {
     "region": null,
     "mapped": {
       "game_detection": [
         {
           "primary_key": "3943e5ddeb4f9eb2460ae0ef3e35b168",

           "regkey": "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Path",
           "launchflags": ""
         }
       ]
     },
     "primary_key": "73178488803736735e9469b8e85883d2",
     "title": "DCS World"
   },

 

10. Click the Save File Button, it will download a New .json file (document (1).json)

11. Go back to the /%APPDATA%/Raptr/Data Folder.

12. Rename the current "game_detection_pc.json", to: "game_detection_pc-Backup.json"

13. copy/paste your document(1).json file you edited and saved to the /Raptr/Data/ Folder and rename it: "game_detection_pc.json"

14. Right Click Properties, and Check "READ ONLY"

 

15. Open AMD G.E., Click the Wrench and Choose Manually Add Game.

16. When the List Loads Type "DCS", And DCS World Should be the First option.

 

17. Click the first Browse Button, and Goto the /Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Bin/ Folder and Select the Launcher.exe File, Press Open,

18. Click the 2nd Browse Button, and Goto the /Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Bin/ Folder and Select the DCS.exe File, Press Open,

19. A Window will open Named "Scanning for Installed Games.." It will do a bunch of stuff, then close.

20. Your Game Add Screen will now say, "Ka-Ching!, Successfully Added DCS World to your games Library"

 

21. You can close the Add Game Window Now, Then Click the Library Button, and Look at your list to make sure DCS World Is Added.

 

22. UNCHECK IN GAME OVERLAYS (Causes Crashes)

 

23. Now, Minimize AMD G.E., Open DCS, Play a Mission For a Minute or So, then Exit and Close DCS, Wait a Sec and Make sure it Tracks your Game play.

Also Note, Making it Ready Only will stop it from being updated, to update the list, uncheck Read only, but everytime you update games list you'd need to re-edit the DCS World String.

How did you manage to get it to run as admin from within Raptr? I can't get it to do so

Pardon my ignorance, but what do Gaming Evolved/Raptor do for you? Is it just an overlay, ala Steam?

[S3NTRY11]

Never mind, I 'Googled it'.

 

Now I feel all empowered, and, in the spirit of giving, am going to replace all my previous posts with 'Google it.'

 

Sharing the love.
