Hi there,

all downloadlinks from SAS Modact 5.3 don't work. Two different error popups: (Something like): "[Path XY/ SAS_JSGME_Options_for_Modact_5.3x.exe.part] couldn't be saved, because of unknown error. Try later or inform admin."

Or [Path XY/ SAS_JSGME_Options_for_Modact_5.3x.exe.part] couldn't be saved, because source file cannot be read. Try later or inform admin."

If I try download rapidly after failure, it says: Server disconnected, while loading side.

Following links are affected:

Download Links for 5.30

Download Links for AI Flyables Pack 5.30

Download Links for SAS Featured JSGME Optional Mods

Download Links for SAS Featured JSGME Optional Mods Patches

First I thought, Mediafire isn't working, but downloading an aircraft for example works ...

Is there any solution, where I can download modact 5.30?

All M4T links of modact 5.30 have the same problem because of there are the same mediafire links.

U-Torrent also not working, because the DL is veeeery slow (3 KB/s). I have DSL 6000 and not using torrent I have 712 KB/s

Deactivating my firewall has no effect. My Browser is Firefox 25.1. Starting it without addons has no effect.

Regards Vitamine!

SOLUTION:

I deactivated AVAST Antivir. Now it works! AVAST ANTIVR CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH THESE DOWNLOADS

[SAS~Storebror]

Send a big thanks to Avast for this.
Lately they've f*cked up their website protection concerning executable files.
You're not alone, we're not alone, ten thousands of software providers currently have to fight this wave of false positives and millions of users as well.

What you can do is this:
Either add an exception to Avast's Webscreen filter and allow the Mediafire URL for the file download to pass it again. This will still trigger the false positive once you start to download the file, but that time you can flag it as a false positive.
Second and maybe easier way is to temporarily disable avast by ricght-clicking on the avast! icon in system tray, select "avast! shields control" and there will be options to disable avast for 10 minutes, 1 hour, until the computer is restarted or permanently.
That way you can download the files without avast interfering the download process. Funny enough you'll notice that once the file has been downloaded completely to your PC, Avast doesn't see any harm in it anymore.

Best regards - Mike

Mike, it's not just AVAST.  I have the Symantec corp. client v12 and it also barfed an error at me and suggested the files have poor but "improving" reputations.  I already knew better about the real story, but just FYI, it's not just one av client doing this crap.

Hey SAS MA 5.3 guy's, go here:   https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,3258.msg419808.html#msg419808

[SAS~Storebror]

it's not just one av client doing this crap.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe we should thank Micro$oft for this as well.
The background of the whole story is that with the introduction of 64 Bit Operating Systems it became more and more common that installer executables are signed with a trusted certificate. Nowadays with Windows 8 / 8.1 in many cases this is even mandatory.
Antivirus software companies now start to jump the train and treat any unsigned installer suspicious.
That's basically not a big deal. It starts to become one when av clients like Avast do their final consideration at download time before the full file arrived and subsequently fail miserably.

I guess it's a matter of weeks before this crap will be reverted but for the time being we'll have to deal with it since the required certificate for signing the installer would take at least $179 per year and I've got other things to waste my money for than this crap.

Best regards - Mike

Hallo Storebror,
i have upgrade my il-2 to 4.12.2 plus SAS ModAct 5.3 and AI fliables all work except the initial splashscreen ( as i 4.11 plus SAS ModAct 5.2 ) so i have extract the bachground tga and mat files from the original 4.12.2 files.SFS and i have put them into #SAS Gui folder but the initial splashscreen is always white.
What is the correct way to solve this problem.

Thanks in advanced.

Regards.

[SAS~Storebror]

Hi Stephen,

Please run JSGME.exe and enable the "#SAS_Light Splash Screens" mod.
This mod has been invented because of the issue you reported for Modact 5.2, treat it your special edition

Best regards - Mike

Hi tzhere,

I have no widescreen support. No matter, what I do - I can't get the internal widescreen support working. The external Ecran Wide2 isn't working, too. All is correct installed. On a clean 4.12.2 installation.

@ Mike

Yes, I really consider about a time, to search for another antivir program. Theres is a lot, I do not like about avast since 1 year ...

Now, I have a little big problem with modact 5.3: I can not get to work the build-in widescreen. The external Ecran Wide2 do not work either on modact 5.3. But I must say, I haven't tested - whether it is caused of 4.12.1 version itself.

Here is my log.list

Best regards
Vitamine!

You need to be at 4.12.2, not 4.12.1, it clearly says that several places.

[Vitamine!]

Yes, I wrote wrong. I have and mean 4.12.2

PS: I put a better logfile in that posting above.

Any ideas, why I have no widescreen support?

Hallo Storebror,
i have activate "#SAS_Light Splash Screens" via JSGME but the splashscreen is always white, isn't really important
all the rest work perfectly, if is not possible solved not spend time for it.

Regards.
