I mean DCS boot times. Have now completely removed surfshark, I put it on it a few weeks ago for the VPN to bypass download times in steam. Now after restarting the pc, with windows defender enabled, dcs works as normal again, fast boot times until now.

Small update: After restarting the PC, the boot times are extremely long again

Thanks for the help, I will create a support ticket. Strange thing is, I have again deleted the saved game files. and now it runs super fast again. In the meantime, I'm going to put the backup folders back 1 by 1 and see when things go wrong again. As antivirus I use surfshark with the exception for the DCS folders. It includes anti-malware.

Thank you, Done all this, unfortunately to no avail, still start time of 10+ minutes. Again deleted the files in saved games and now start time of 20 seconds. I'll try to manually set all joystick settings instead of copying the old ones, maybe that's where the problem lies.

Hello all, I hope someone can help me, I can't figure it out on my own. My DCS has always run without any problem. From one day to the next it took an extremely long time to start up. So long that it sometimes takes me 20 minutes to get to the main screen. I went looking for a problem but couldn't find it. Removed all mods at first but it took a long time. Then checked the integrity, but no result there either. Then reinstalled the whole game ( files in C:>users>savedgames>DCS ) not replaced. Still no result and long boot. Then delete the C:>users>savedgames>DCS. Then a quick startup. After playing a few times again extreme delay and 20 minutes of startup. Removing C:>users>savedgames>DCS makes that I have a fast boot again 1 or 2 times. Attached are the logs, I see a lot of them but I don't understand much of them. Does anyone have a suggestion? dcs.log
