Harmer Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Just recently my DCS Beta 2.5 has developed a major crash situation. The only thing I can do in Beta is join a MP server. I get a crash on: Training missions. Player missions. Trying to run a mission from within the ME. Trying to host a server. I have no such problems with DCS Release, which is on the same SSD. So, looks like a complete wipe and re-install of Beta. I presume all my HOTAS settings will be ok, as they are saved separately on my main drive? Any tips from those that have done this lately?

FragBum Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'd make a backup copy of control settings and your logbook if you want to keep it. Have you done a repair on your beta version? Are your graphics drivers up to date? Is there anything in your DCS log file that points for example to and "access violation"? Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.

Harmer Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yes, I've done a repair. My graphics driver is up to date. The only mods I have are skins. Can't spot any access violations in the log.

FragBum Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Bugger :noexpression:, that's not good then. just be mindful of Star Force DRM stuff.

Rudel_chw Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yes, I've done a repair. My graphics driver is up to date. The only mods I have are skins. Can't spot any access violations in the log. If the cause ofvthe crashes is within your /saved games/dcs.openbeta/ then a re-install will acomplish nothing ... so, I suggest that you do a test first: Rename /saved games/dcs.openbeta/ to dcs.openbeta.bak ... now restart DCS and the sim will create a new default /saved games/dcs.openbeta folder ... now, test rhe sim .. you will have to bind the controls again, so restrict the test to your most used aircraft. If now the game works well, then you will know that the crash cause was on saved games .. now exit dcs and copy back from the dcs.openbeta.bal folder the following: Dcs.openbeta.bak/config ... to recover your control and view settings. Dcs.openbeta.bak/mission editor ... to recover your logbook and campaign status Try dcs again ... if it still working good, then you may recover other items, like dcs.openbeta.bak/missions and dcs.openbeta.bak/screenshots ... etc. Hope that will solve the issue.

Harmer Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Took a ticket and got a pretty swift reply. It was mods that was the cause. Removed the offending folder. Ran cleanup and then repair. All is now fixed. Thanks for your responses. [sIGPIC]https://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic104652_2.gif[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
