houston we have a problem !

[jet_spud]

okay, WOE installed and patched and running fine - until i installed NATO 1 then all weapon loadout options dissapear!now a big jet without missiles or bombs ain't gonna last long or be much use is it? except to the enmey perhaps.

 

uninstalled and reinstalled and running fine (without NATO 1).

 

next installed WOV, tried to play it and got message "unable to authenticate original disc within time limit". whaaaat the heck is that about!

 

any ideas guys or does it have to go back to amazon uk? i tried launching it every conceivable way i could; desktop shortcut, file menu, program list, autorun and even double clicked the EXE in the game folder, no good.

Install all 4 with the latest patch. Oct 08. NATO 1-3 are for the older patch. NATO 4 brings it all to OCT 08 standards.

had that problem at the beginnig of the deployment when i had to reboot my laptop a couple of times. don't remember all the details but on thing i do know is to make sure you only have the latest direct x and oct 08 patch. dont merge WOV with that install or put any other third party stuff on it will make wierd things happen. as for the message the person below me might have that answer.

Patch it fully first. Then run it.

bombsawaydave; we have success - nobbled a MiG-21 with a sidewinder thingy too just to prove it!! man things happen a lot quicker in these planes than WW11 aircraft that i'm used too. all those sights you have to keep switching, wow!

 

Thanks for your help.

 

daddyairplanes; thanks for the tip, i'll try patching WOV upto 08 as well, after i've returned to the real world and take mutt for its walk, then there's dinner etc. cheers anyway.

okay guys all sorted and working properly - WOE with NATO fighters, which is awesome by the way.

 

and WOV works perfectly too once i patched it up to oct08 version.

 

thanks again,
