Monster65

Flappie, Encore une fois, merci beaucoup et je salue votre générosité. Avec respect, Monster65

FIXED! I applied the AMD driver update, restarted the PC & all in-game Menu options loaded fully through to a playable aircraft or the multiplayer server for briefing (so I didn't delete & reinstall). I've learnt to not rely on the Windows Device Manager to tell me the status of drivers. Flappie, thank you for your assistance & perseverance (the latest DCS.log & dxdiag log are attached). dcs.log DxDiag_2_Monster65.txt

OK, I'll delete & reinstall if it isn't fixed after I've applied the graphics driver update (interesting that this install has already gone through BIGNEWY's upgrade once & two repairs, which the two Logs in my originating post are before & after the first repair, but that error wasn't fixed (?)). Anyway, thanks for the graphics driver link. I'll apply that immediately (hmmm..Windows Device Manager kept reporting my driver as up to date with latest). Will report back soonest. Thanks again.

Yes, have done that twice so far. I've waited for the hang to un-hang/clear, so to speak, for 40 minutes before I started this post & then for 60 minutes today after applying the terrain file delete & repair. I'm satisfied that it isn't a matter of just waiting (but were it to be the case then I'll dump the game as it'd be ridiculous). Cheers.

Still hangs, after doing the terrain file delete & repair. Did two attempts from the Menu > Instant Action (both times the progress bar is at about 45%): - first stopped at "Terrain Graphics Init : 51, grassfile" - second stopped at "Terrain Gtaphics Init : 47, shrub.ref" Both times the PC physical memory performance was: - No games running >> ~23% or 1.88GB - Game start up to Menu screen >> ~38% or 3.03GB - Loading hang >> ~86% or 6.89GB.

Flappie, Thanks for your follow up. I posted an edit, just as you posted, that I've done those checks.

Could this be a Memory issue? I have 8GB RAM, game files installed on HDD (F:) with 66.9GB free & User Saved Game files on SDD (C:) with 90.2GB free. Since Flappie's above assistance I've done the following: - NineLine's post titled "Page File Tip by Mustang" states "set your pagefile to custom 16384 - 16384 and you should be able to enter any server and fly for hours" (at https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/196924-page-file-tip-by-mustang ) >> but my install is the base Open Beta only so my 8GB RAM should be enough (?) - BIGNEWY's post titled "General troubleshooting advice" including renaming my Saved Games folder & restarted, then Instant Action >> didn't fix it, same hang at "Terrain Graphics Init : 81, caucasus.surface5" - Updated to version 2.5.6.59625.1 (from 2.5.6.59625) >> didn't fix it, hanged at "Terrain Graphics Init : 27, vessels.ref".

Still hangs. Game starts, then from the Menu: - Instant Action > loading hanged/hangs as follows: -- after initial installation >> was consistently stopping at 60% progress bar at "Terrain Graphics Init : 81, caucasus.surface5" (multiple attempts) -- after applied cleanup & repair >> per my above third screenshot, stopped about 20% progress bar at "Terrain Init : 1,routes" (noted only from the screenshot) -- after adding the security exceptions (as you suggested above) >> back to stopping at 60% progress bar at "Terrain Graphics Init : 81, caucasus.surface5" (twice for two attempts) - Create Fast Mission > set parameters > Fly >> stopped at "loading..." (doesn't get to displaying the progress bar) - Mission > Su-25T > top listed mission File "Anti-Radar Missiles Practice" >> stopped at 45% progress bar at "Terrain Graphics Init : 47,shrub.ref" - Campaign > My campaigns > "Su-25T - Georgian Oil War" > OK >> stopped at "loading..." (doesn't get to displaying the progress bar) - Multiplayer > selected local region server with caucasus map & Su-25T & no password > Join >> stopped at "loading..." (doesn't get to displaying the progress bar).

Hi Flappie, Screenshots & dxdiag log attached. Thank you, Monster65 DxDiag_Monster65.txt

Hi, I'd appreciate guidance please. Loading hangs, after launching 'Multiplayer' & 'Instant Action' options & after setting a 'Quick Mission'. The Encyclopedia works just fine. When the load hangs my RAM peaks at about 6.7GB. I applied the DCS launcher cleanup & repair, as advised by BIGNEWY on YT, but no change to the hang situation. All system & peripheral drivers are up to date. PC specs: OS Win7 x64, CPU Intel i5-6600 quad core @3.3GHz, GPU ASUS R9 380 Series, RAM 8GB, ASUS MB. Attached are the two latest Logs. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Monster65 dcs.log dcs.log.old
