[FIXED] DO NOT RUN THECURRENT 1.5.5 DCS UPDATE

[Karl Spackler]

It is thoroughly hosed. Activation keys are whacked out even after getting in and refreshing the module manager.

 

Got in an A-10C on the Open Conflict server - the Escape key doesn't even work. The Warthog axes work but none of the switches. Couldn't start the APU.

 

AVOID until it's fixed.

I haven't seen any hubbub on the forums, though.

I flew the MI-8 after the update and had no problems.

It turned out hat Trev's issues were across his 1.5 and 2.0 installations and has opted for a fresh install later this week.

[Rotermann]

That's bad news hope that fixes it.

[Klaiber]

Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that he was felled by it last night.

 

Hopefully, a fresh install will sort things out.

I found that when I tried to run 2.0 I got the same litany of issues. It would makes sense that what I was seeing was the module keys got corrupted (they are shared by both installs) after the update. Shouldn't have happened, but that's life in the big city. 

[Karl Spackler]

Well I just reinstalled 1.5.5 and still having the same problems. License/key issues with the MiG-21bis, TrackIR not showing up in the list of devices in controls. That's even after uninstalling everything, cleaning the registry with ccleaner, deleting old install files.

[Karl Spackler]

Sorted.

 

Might delete this thread so no one gets the wrong idea just from the title.

I'm glad you're G2G, I edited the title.  Have fun tonight!
