I see this on occasion. Usually task manager -> Kill and restart DCS (very, very rarely need a computer reboot). It's barely an annoyance, and I figure ED will get to it.

 

 

 

8 out of 10? Different story. Just for grins is the behavior the same after a reboot with nothing (other than startup processes) running? Have you gone to task manager -> startup items and cleaned out all the chaff? If you're seeing this more often then I have to wonder if there's some kind of contention.

I was thinking more along the lines of system services. OneDrive, firewall, virus scanner, the uncounted 3rd party software that want to load software on boot to send data back to the mothership for sale, etc. Adobe is famous for this, so are a few others.

Stuck at logo screen when starting up the game

 

Hello Guys, I have a problem where most of the times I start DCS it gets stuck on the DCS Logo screen, the music of the game plays in the back but I can't get throught that screen.

I have to open the task manager and kill the process. Then start the game again and again until the game is able to start normally.

 

 

 

Sometimes I have to restart the game up to 10 times in order to play.

 

 

Do you guys know what could be causing this?

I have tried repairing the game and nothing.

 

 

Here is my full log file in case you need it.

https://pastebin.com/sTdLq0zK

 

 

 

 

-Thanks

It didn't work. But I noticed something.

It gets stuck most of the times when I open the DCS shortcut I have on my desktop which is a shortcut of dcs_updater.exe

 

 

 

If I open dcs.exe instead most of the times the game opens correctly.

 

 

I don't know if that has something to do with the problem.

This is exactly my issue as well. Here is my thread that a mod can either merge or close if they'd like to.

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=265913

 

After trying secretcode's idea and running the game from the run.exe in the main install folder instead of the pin'd shortcut in my start menu, I just got the game to launch 3 times in a row, yay. :)

 

Here's what I noticed: When launching the game from the .exe in the main install folder the small windowed splash screen pops up, the resolution looks normal, then the screen flickers and the small windowed splash screen goes to an incorrect resolution(looks warped\stretched) and then the full screen splash screen comes up and the game loads correctly. When launching the game from my old shortcut pin'd to the start menu the stretching\warping of the small windowed Eagle Dynamics splash screen did not happen.

 

Also, I tried deleting my old shortcut\pin from the start menu and then pinning the run.exe back to the start menu anew and the game failed to launch. I also created a shortcut from the run.exe and placed it on the desktop, not pinned in the start menu, and the game launches normally from there.

 

It seems like the issue comes from trying to launch the game from a shortcut pinned to the start menu. Let me know if you need anymore help.

Try to change your settings via the config file and change fullscreen="true" to "false"

Save file then start the game

Make sure your primary monitor is on the left.

 

Dcs is the same resolution as the primary monitor

 

and the check your option in game, if you need to you can delete the options.lua in your saved games dcs config folder and start again.

 

thanks

I tried deleting the imagesShop folder and it had no reproduceable results. The only thing I was able to repro 100 percent of the time was this:

 

Launching the game from a shortcut pinned to the start menu failed to launch\hung 95% of the time.

Launching the game from a new shortcut created from the run.exe in the main install folder and placed on the desktop successfully launched every time. Pin that newly created shortcut to the start menu and it goes back to hanging and not launching.

please attach your dcs logs when you have issues so we can look for clues.

 

thanks

Hi all

 

It is possible this is antivirus related, excluding the folders from your antivirus may help

 

For testing please exclude / whitelist your dcs install and dcs saved games location

 

then restart your PC and test dcs

 

let us know if it helps or not.

 

Thank you

Your options.lua can be found here C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config

 

use notepad++ to edit it.

 

Let me know if it helps
