I have same issue. It happens to me even in SP when I use mission with multiple slots.

It looks like same issue as described in Just not only in MP...

When I select F-4E slot, game goes unresposive for a few minutes. It happens also when I start MP mission in Single Player. It does not happen always, so it hard to say what causes it. Antivirus exception or disable Windows Defender did not helped. I am not only one with that issue in our group. dcs.log

Open Beta does not exist anymore. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2024-01-26/

If you don't select any terrain during installation game suggests to "GET TERRAIN". Button leads to NTTR map eshop page https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/nttr_terrain/ I think it would be better to use link to select from all terains https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/terrains/ or some other available terrains promoting page.

When you want to add or remove group of modules, for example "Terrains, A/C Jet, etc." and you click on checkbox when group is collapsed, the sub-items don't get added/removed.

I can confirm it's fixed in DCS 2.7. 2.7 switches to default audio device resolving the issue. 2021-05-05 20:52:30.275 INFO SOUND: Opening audio device "{0.0.0.00000000}.{b61839fe-309c-4198-8a44-a861b06d8432}" 2021-05-05 20:52:30.275 ERROR SOUND: Failed to open device "{0.0.0.00000000}.{b61839fe-309c-4198-8a44-a861b06d8432}": 0x80070490 (?) 2021-05-05 20:52:30.275 INFO SOUND: Opening default audio device. 2021-05-05 20:52:30.277 INFO SOUND: Speaker layout: auto 2021-05-05 20:52:30.278 INFO SOUND: Driver reports 8 channels with mask 0x63F 2021-05-05 20:52:30.278 INFO SOUND: Using 8 channels at 48000 Hz 2021-05-05 20:52:30.278 INFO SOUND: Channel layout: FrontLeft FrontRight FrontCenter LowFrequency BackLeft BackRight SideLeft SideRight 2.5 ends with failed to start SND_Renderer. 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 INFO SOUND: Opening audio device "{0.0.0.00000000}.{a61839fe-309c-4198-8a44-a861b06d8432}" 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 ERROR SOUND: Failed to init IAudioClient on device: 0x88890004 (AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_INVALIDATED) 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 ERROR SOUND: Failed to start SND_Renderer. 2021-04-09 18:32:08.868 ERROR SOUND: can't start renderer

I had set DCS audio output to sound device which got removed from my computer. DCS gets stuck during startup. Log and config attached. dcs.log options.lua

Still reproducible with 2.5.6.50979.

You need to contact your antivirus software provider and they will analyze file and fix their software.

New patch notes are not visible on https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/ Also https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/openbeta/2.5.6.50979/ does not contains notes for Viggen, Miraga and Harrier.

Caucasus is made using old technology and won't be updated as it would break old missions. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4288498&postcount=316

Year ago we had stable updated once per month. Now we will have open beta updated once per month. It looks to me like we are all moving from beta to stable... I am worried now we will have archaic stable version and beta will contain random bugs which won't be fixed for months if they won't affect most popular modules.

FIXED

It may work other way... Deka and ED could have been motivated to release JF-17 and other new modules in stable much sooner, if they could not depend on sales thanks to users running open beta.
