So where are my maps ...they are not available to me.

I dont have Nevada installed, still PG doesnt work. i own it though. Also would like to post my dcs.log file and dxdiag. But first time for me, logfile gives an error when trying to post, and where to find the dxdiag file?

Im so glad to se that im not the only one having those problems :

CTD when trying to run NTTR and Hormuz (saved missions or Editor makes no difference ... CTD!! ) … Caucasus works just fine with both editor and saved missions::pilotfly:

Thats one. Hope it helps.

Something I just noticed looking at all the logs of the failing machines vs the two machines I have here that are working if you go down where it's failing..

every one of them ends about here:

2018-08-30 14:08:12.989 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:2

2018-08-30 14:08:13.040 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:3

2018-08-30 14:08:13.040 INFO Lua: Lua CPU usage: metric: average game loading: 37.3263 %

If i look at that same exact section on my working machine, the next set after Enter to state 3 is the Terrain Security Control.

2018-08-30 14:23:10.177 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:3

2018-08-30 14:23:10.177 INFO Lua: Lua CPU usage: metric: average game loading: 51.7889 %

2018-08-30 14:23:22.829 INFO SECURITYCONTROL: Loaded mods/terrains/nevada/terrain.cfg.lua.dll.crypt

2018-08-30 14:23:22.829 INFO TERRAIN: lSystem::load()

2018-08-30 14:23:22.829 INFO TERRAIN: lSystem::CleanScenes()

eg this one none of the logs show this line:

INFO    SECURITYCONTROL: Loaded mods/terrains/nevada/terrain.cfg.lua.dll.crypt

which would suggest maybe something's going wrong with it? (i've not tried loading into PG on the two machines i'm having no issues with in fear that maybe they'll suddenly break)

and saddly the friend i was helping earlier has gone to bed (it's 2am here) so i can't see if copying my copy of that file to his machine solves the issue for example.

So where are my maps ...they are not available to me.

Are you logged in? Not in offline mode? Did you purchase with different "accounts"? Are the maps bound to the account you use to login?

Persian Gulf is definitely the new system.

If this is not the problem, try a DCS repair, and if that does not work either, contact support.

This thread is for the crash happening, as I said, there is something blocking them in your logs, it would be on your end, if something in the update changed those files, and your computer doesnt like it, it could block it. If you want, open a new thread for this. Include all you have included already.

Roger...I will wait and hope

All purchased with same account..logged in...worked yesterday.

sigh

2 Servers - Identical

Our 86 Sqn Server runs fine. Sits on the same Virtual Host as 143

Our 143 Sqn Server does not run the PG at all. Sits on the same Virtual Host as 86.

As in 143 Crashes when trying to do anything with PG. 86 Runs normally with PG no crashes

Logs attached for both servers

Both Virtual Machines running 12GB Ram and Windows Server 2012R2.

Qemu machines (QXL RedHat GPU)

These are the only logs I can gather once 143 crashes, hence they may not be relevant.CTD is instantaneous

DCS86_NOCrash.zip

DCS143_Crashes.zip

Disabled all firewall and antivirus and still getting same CTD.

I myself have no problems after the update, but I just remembered something:

For the first time I had a problem with the installation during the last update. At the point "tidying up" (sorry Google translate) there was an error message that edCore.dll could not be deleted. Even several attempts / retrys did not work. I had then tried to delete this file by hand, which also did not work, because an other program would use this file. After all, I was able to rename the file. After that, the installer could continue the work.

Could there be a similar problem with the now crashing systems?

edCore.dll

Old Version 2.5.2.20601

New Version 2.5.3.21016

Both of our servers were updated the same day. 143 immediately stopped working with PG. 86 continues to work fine.

I Got my update working

Hello all;

Well, I got my DCS update working, all I had to redo is change my screen resolution back to 2560x1440 once I did that everything is fine now..hope you manage to get your setup up and running very soon also:thumbup:

Instant CTD here as well when trying to run anything in Persian Gulf or NTTR.

System specs in sig...

Installed modules: F/A-18C, NTTR, Persian Gulf. No mods

sorry, my monitor can't adapt this screen resolution.

I`m running on Win 10 aswell,still having the same issue,Georgia running fine but as soon as I try PG or NTTR CTD

sorry, my monitor can't adapt this screen resolution.

Well try to get it up as high as it can go..and see if that helps..

Ok so I have an update. As I mentioned earlier after uninstalling Nevada terrain PG still wouldn't work. I then uninstalled PG as well. I then reinstalled PG but did not reinstall Nevada. PG is now loading in the mission editor without issue.

On our 143 server, it didn’t have Nevada installed. I physically deleted PG and then ran a repair. Still no go.

In fact someone loaded a PG mission on the server not so long ago, and it loaded a Caucasus mission instead. The PG mission indeed was set to Persian Gulf but loaded a Caucasus mission regardless

It appears I spoke too soon. After quitting the application like normal on the next launch of DCS I'm again unable to use PG and getting the same CTD both in mission editor and instant action. I'm attaching the the log files from the launch where PG worked and then the subsequent launch where PG is broken again.

I'm also having these issues with NTTR & PG.

Mine hangs on the loading screen when selecting any mission or instant Mission in those terrains.

If I create a quick mission then it crashes and hence the log attached.

Windows 7 x64 here

So I just attempted deleting authdata.bin from ./SavedGames/DCS/config directory. During this launch of the game PG would now load in the mission editor without issue. The problem then recurs after quitting and launching again. I was hoping maybe I was onto something however I can't seem to replicate the results by deleting the authdata.bin anymore.
