_mu110_ Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Have you tried manually deleting the OpenBeta and redownloading the client instead of trying to do these through the launcher? Check out my skins and mods on the User Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 11, 2019 ED Team Share Posted September 11, 2019 Uninstall as usual then manually check no files have been left. Rename your DCS folder in saved games, keep it as a backup. Reinstall DCS and test. It sounds like something has been manually edited and something broke. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
