Installed the latest VAICOM version yesterday. Now I get an error on DCS start:

The file gameMessages.lua is changed by VAICOM. Therefore, I have to assume it is the reason for the error.

 

DCS hangs on starting the game and can only be terminated via a task manager.

 

Running a repair fixes the problem as the original files are restored.

The 10% load issue is covered in the FAQ section

Thanks, Hollywood! That worked :)

 

I missed setting the slider to OpenBeta. However, I wonder why this is even necessary?

You specify the DCS install directory in VAICOM (or it is retrieved from the registry). In that directory there is a file, which states, if this is a release or OB installation. Therefore, that slider seems unnecessary/redundant to me or am I mistaken?

The registry keys are different so it needs to know where to look in the registry and the where to put the files is also different so you telling it is much easier (especially as you can switch from stable to OB and back)
