Thank you for the idea, I will try and see what could be running.. must be something that runs on my startup if this is the case. I will go through and check some stuff! I don't use any recording/streaming programs though, so maybe a bit of a longshot. Willing to try anything at this point though, because my game is down and I REALLY want to get back to practicing. Sorry for not being around to reply lately, been busy with work and such.

So here are my DCS logs. dcs.log: === Log opened UTC 2014-04-04 00:59:04 00000.000 INFO EDCORE: createSerialQueue IOQueue 00000.324 INFO VFS: Using 'Saved Games': "C:\Users\dakota\Saved Games"

So I've downloaded every version of C++ from the MS website and installed them. Still no luck.. this is pretty brutal. I just want to flyyy. :d

I've been using my X52 Pro for DCS. I'm still waiting for the Rockfire adapter for my CH.

No, no blue screens or crashes. I had been playing the game, closed the game like normal, came back a few hours later, and couldn't get it to work. It had done this once before, a couple days before it started doing it this time, but that was fixed easily by deleting the config folder in \users\saved games\. I will gather up all of the C++ releases and install them when I get home from work in the morning, and see if that works. Thank you for your help! Your time is appreciated.

I downloaded and installed the x64 version of C++ from that link and tried getting DCS to run - no luck, still the same crash. Thanks for the suggestion though! There must be some way to fix this.. it's tough to find out what's wrong when nothing seems to have changed or happened to cause the error though.

Unfortunately, I cannot get to the mission editor after the mission. When I click to close the error message, it takes me straight to the main menu. It won't allow me to click mission editor on the debriefing screen. I've done a few file integrity checks on Steam, and they had no effect either. I can't do anything at all on DCS, no quick missions, campaign, training, custom missions, anything. It's quite annoying. Thank you for all of the help so far!

I will try this, thank you. Hopefully it works! As for the repair, how would I do that? I'm using the Steam version. Should I use the non-steam version from the DCS website maybe?

Okay so, I had this crash before, fixed it, and now it is back and won't go away. When I try to start a mission/training/campaign, whatever, it stops responding part way through loading. I have to close down DCS to get rid of it, which then takes me to mission debriefing with an error message that says 'Failed to open mission briefing file' or something very similar to that. I previously fixed it by deleting the DCS World folder in users/saved games, but that has decided it won't work anymore. Any help would be much appreciated, I would enjoy getting back to practicing. :) -Winter System specs: i5 4670k, stock clock two 7950s in CrossFire, stock clocks Gigabyte Z87-UD3H mobo 3x1 Eyefinity + 1 extended desktop Win8
