jflatto Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) After a while, I just got back into the KA-50. I installed DCS World 1.5. It was working. I then changed some configuration settings related to displaying on the second monitor. Now, when I start the program, I get the opening logo but then I get a black screen with music playing in the background. I assume that I have screwed up the resolution or another configuration but not sure how to get it working. I tried the "repair" option but it didn't help. I then uninstalled DCS World 1.5 and then did a clean install but that is not helping. Any idea if there are some configuration files I can delete to reset the game? Thanks.

jflatto Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 In addition to DCS World 1.5, I also had 2.0 installed separately. That is working fine but none of the training videos are working in 2.0. I then deactivated my aircraft and uninstalled DCS World 2.0. I then uninstalled DCS World 1.5. I thought I had removed all traces of both versions. I then installed DCS World 1.5 again. Exact same error. I see the logo and then get a black screen. I can hear the music playing but am stuck at this point. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jflatto Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Assuming the Saved games folder is located in the "My Document" folder under "Saved Games", there is nothing there. Also there is nothing for Eagle Dynamics under "My Games" in "My Document" folder. Where would I find the Log folder you are talking about. Looking at my DCS World 1.5 folder, I am not seeing any log folders. I have attached the autoupdate_log.txt in case that might help. I have DCS World 1.5 installed but with no aircraft other than the SU-25T and TF-51D. I haven't go far enough to enter the activation information for A-10C, KA 50 and SA342.autoupdate_log.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflatto Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Once I posted my response, I saw your signature about posting log files (insert face palm on my part here). However, since I do not have a Saved Games folder, I do not have any logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflatto Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Attached is a copy of my DxDiag.txt file. There does not appear to be an issue. Famous last words. :)DxDiag.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 12, 2016 ED Team Share Posted June 12, 2016 If you do not have a saved games folder something is very wrong. try this to find your logs folder Log folder: Press WIN.button + R and copy-paste this: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\DCS\Logs press Enter (OK) and you will see Log files in folder. C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Logs Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

jflatto Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Never mind, I am an idiot. :doh: I was looking for DCS under "saved games" in "My Document" folder instead of looking for "saved games" under my username root directory. I found the DCS folder under the root directory folder and deleted it and now everything runs fine. Thanks for your help and sorry to waste your time. I have installed and uninstalled DCS World 1.5 and 2.0 multiple times in the last 24 hours trying to solve the problem as well as using IObit Uninstall to remove all traces (or so I thought). I didn't realize that I had a "saved games" folder under my root username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zilch Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Sorry about the necropost... Just got my system back on after about 4 months of being shut off from a move, and I'm getting this same issue. Is there a way to narrow down which parts of the Saved Game folder need to go? I'd like to save my missions, joystick binds (I shudder to think of rebinding HOTAS for every module!) pilot file, and monitor export files (although the latter is probably causing the issue, I expect to redo them later...)

Mustang Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just the options.lua should do it, DCS will generate a fresh one once you start it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
