Off Watch Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I unsuccessfully tried to install the clear glass Mod for the Spit and now I notice that the skin texture for the B17 is messed up. I uninstalled/ reinstalled the WWII assets pack and same for the Spitfire but same results. Any Ideas what I should try next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The correct course of action whenever you add mods is to use one of the mod utility packages such as JSGME. That would allow you to remove the mod if it caused this kind of problem. Without the application, you can first try to run a repair. If that doesn't resolve the issue, my next step is always to rename the saved games folder, which will force DCS World to build a new one with the default configuration. This will, however, reset all your saved control inputs as well as everything else you have configured. If that works, then slowly re-add the folders from the old, renamed folder until you encounter the issue again, and you will have established exactly where the problem file resides. Isolate that, and make any settings changes that have been lost. The reason the saved games bit is needed is that the core game is repaired or re-installed, but the saved games area is usually preserved, so if the fault is there, it won't be solved without the renaming process. I bet you will be downloading and learning to use JSGME pretty soon having got bitten by a mod malfunction. As a side note, it is also always very important to remove all mods, then run a repair before updating. Any rogue files can totally screw an update, as you will see by the number of bug reports that are made on a Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off Watch Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Tried to rename all the files that I had messed with and then did a repair without any success. Can I uninstall DCS and reinstall and start from scratch again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Orso Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I would suggest doing a repair, as per this thread first: GUIDE: Using DCS Updater to Update, Revert, Repair, or Install Modules For this, open the Command Prompt Window with Administrator privileges as per How to Open the Command Prompt as Administrator in Windows 8 or 10 --option 3 is the easiest way-- to avoid issues with permissions.

Captain Orso Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Doing an update always does a repair as well, so you cannot necessarily say that the update itself fixed the issue, just the 'updating'.

Off Watch Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Should I do something proactively or wait until I have further problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Orso Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Unless you can point to exactly how the issue came into play, I don't know how it would be of any use.
