Hotshot2 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Alright, so I purchased FC3 off the website instead of Steam because I had a 60% off coupon from my Track IR 5, I downloaded the installer and when I try to install it to my Steam DCS World installation it tells me "DCS World 1.2.7.23097 must be installed", but this is the exact same version I already have. Is there any way to enter my CD key in steam and downlad & install the game from there ? Thanks! - Bosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotshot2 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Alright so I think i'm gonna have to wait for Steam to activate the keys because the manual install of FC3 will not work with Steam DCS World and Steam won't accept my FC3 key. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowly Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I have the same problem with the BS2 upgrade, which I've owned since 2011. Installed DCS World and BS1 1.0.2. yesterday and tried to install the BS2 upgrade today, but keep getting the "DCS World 1.2.7.23097 must be installed" error. :huh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "I don't like porn.

siipperi Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I just used to purchase fc3 with my coupon code. Not sure if it's from x52 pro or track ir. Worked fine (once noob me was able to compleate purchase) but indeed need to wait to ED to send serial codes to steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotshot2 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Is there any ways admin can manually process the serial keys to work on Steam ? Manual install doesn't want to work at all and my CD key is still not working on Steam. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Is there any ways admin can manually process the serial keys to work on Steam ? Manual install doesn't want to work at all and my CD key is still not working on Steam. :( No. Due to obvious security concerns, Valve does not allow the couple thousand companies they work with direct access to their key database. Manual install of the download from our site unfortunately does not and will not (ever) work on Steam installs. This is because those installers are for our distribution from our website. Steam handles this through keys: when you register a key that they accept (which either happens automatically when you purchase on Steam, or through the manual activation dialog available in your Steam client), Steam itself handles download. Downloads from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com are not relevant.

Hotshot2 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Well Giga, it seems like my FC3 code is now working on Steam, I just get an error that it's not available in my country for some reasons. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
