Is it "ScreenShots" or "screenshots" or "Screenshots" or "screenShots"? Everyone has a different spelling for the screenshots folder and I can't figure out why I can't DCS screenshots anymore. WinPRT used to work all the time. I'm guessing I have a folder labeling problem but I have no idea what the folder is actually called and I can't find the proper name anywhere.

Did anybody ever solve this? Same issue. Everything worked perfectly the last time I flew. There were 2 back to back updates since then. Now, the game freezes 1-5 into gameplay. I've tried everything and it's just broken now. WTH ED? dcs.log

Then, I get: 2571 Recompilation process will take some time, please wait 2572 (this situation should not occur on end user PC, if there is no manual shader editing) I certainly haven't done any manual shader editing.

I don't know how to reply to specific comments, but: I did some benchmarking and tests with other games. The GPU is fine. Temps are low. CPU is fine. All drivers are updated. Windows current. The system is solid as far as I can tell. I'm at a loss. In the log, Errors are being thrown starting at 879.

No, no OC. Still broken. No idea what to do. I've been flying on this PC, same equipment, settings, etc. for at least a year now. It's just totally broken and unplayable. Now I've spent all of my free time for 2 days, back to back, trying to fix it. I've gotten nowhere aside from knowing everything that can be is up to date. Including DCS, unfortunately. I'm pretty sure the update is what broke everything. I certainly didn't change anything. Edit: I tried the 'DCS.openbeta.bak' thing to create a fresh saved_games folder for DCS. It didn't help. Oh, I did make sure to save a copy of the dcs.log file while the game was frozen. Here it is. dcs.log

I don't know what that means. Basically, the game just freezes and the I have to force close it through task manager. There's also a 'crash.log' file. I'll attach it. dcs.20240121-090512.crash

Sorry, I'm trying to figure this out. I've never had a crash like this before. Here's the dcs.log file dcs.log

I'm not sure how this forum works but my DCS is completely broken now and I have no idea why. It's worked perfectly in the past. Now, 5 minutes into gameplay it freezes and crashes and I don't know what to do. -I'm using VR ReverbG2, 4090, i9-13900K, 64 GB DDR5, NVME SSD Everything was perfectly fine. I'm guessing the update broke everything. How do I fix that? Can I roll it back or something? Is there a patch? What the hell happened?
