3WA Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) What's the problem dude? There does seem to be a bug with the startup page at times. I see the DCS World title page, but then blackness, or it hangs on the title page. I usually just restart my computer, and clear out memory. Then it works. Your sign in name and password should be in your ED account. You can go here - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/ and hit the support button near the top of the page. That should get you some help. Hitting that button will also take you to a page to help recover your password. Welcome to DCS!

3WA Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 You're probably going to have to go in the LUA files to change it. I think I had this problem once. Multiscreen is checked off in options. I"m not sure what the .lua file is called or where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the file \Saved Games\DCS\Config\options.lua ... you can edit with a true text editor like Notepad++ (dont use the Windows Notepad) .. check the lines: ["height"] = ["width"] = Correct to the proper values for your monitor and then save the file. Edit: If you use just a single monitor, check this line too: ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera" Edited February 21, 2021 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=Mac= Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 @Boompaw4 Take your time. Your frustration level will drop to zero once you get the feel for things here. And, once you get to flying, if you are a noob flying, you are going to see just how complicated flying (in real life) is. This is a military grade STUDY simulator. With that in mind, take your time. Most real pilots take years to get really good at their machine. But, once you ARE good at flying, you will not be able to stop doing it. DCS is the easy and cheapest way to get close to it.

Start up page doesn't work, im signed is but game doesn't except same sign on... etc, etc. If you bought it from Steam and haven't tried to play it for more than 2 hours, you can get a refund if you're still stuck. But it sounds to me as if you simply need to click the correct buttons in the game setup and your monitor display to get it working. Try setting the game resolution to the same reso as your monitor, and maybe check that your vid card is the same too. Another trick is to click 'Default settings' to see if your system will choose its own preferences. PS- but once you're into the game it's as easy as pie to learn providing you don't jump into scenarios. Personally I find the best way by far with this game and many others is to create a tiny scen in the editor inside 5 minutes (with just one tank or one plane) and learn to drive and fly them like the back of your hand before adding more units bit by bit..:) Edited February 23, 2021 by PoorOldSpike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
