Ca11 Me Karma Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 So i've played DCS world through steam for a while. Just recently bought FC3 and now I have to install DCS World again seperate from steam (Which is fine). But everytime download one of the bins from the website it starts downloading it as VLC? I have no idea if this will break DCS or not but i tried opening the very first download of DCS world (4.bin) in WinRar and it only shows a music icon or something. Like i said i dont know if VLC will break the game or not but if anyone can throw some input my way on what to do I'd appreciate it a TON! Side note, I also tried downloading DCS world through the bittorrent link but it doesn't download it. It shows up in the downloads as a torrent file but when i try to open it, it comes up with an error window.
Bodo Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 It's just because the file association of .bin files has been taken by VLC. Wont' affect anything.

cichlidfan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 The torrent file gets used by a torrent client such as http://www.utorrent.com/ I don't know why your downloader is changing the file to a vlc. I would probably just rename them to .bin and see if they work. The correct way to download and install DCS World is to download the four bin files and the single exe file; place them into the same folder; then run (double-click) the exe and follow the prompts (the exe reads the bin files). Then run the exe for Flaming Cliffs 3.

I deleted VLC and when it just finished the first bin the display pic of the file is a picture of WinRar I think :P but it says the type of file that it is, is a BIN file. So I'm guessing that everything should be good now. *Fingers crossed*
