Mohawkology

Well thanks to all your help people, I've got it running now and am back flying my heuy (badly)

OK so I've just spent 7 hours donwloading 2.5.5 on a fresh install with everything else removed and/or deleted and still sticks at 61% Attached the log. I can't see anything different than what was on the old logs everytime it bummed out on me. I'm at a complete loss with this. dcslog.txt

Thanks for your reply, this is an update to 1.5. So what I'm going to do is take your advice and just remove DCS completely and grab a fresh install of 2.5. Because I don't wanna be bug fixing and fault finding all the time. One other question though, I have modules F16, Spitfire and Hawk I ought from the DCS website, but previous to this I was using Steam and got the Huey (which I love). But DCS is uninstalled via steam, how do I add the Huey back once I have a fresh 2.5 install?

So I followed the cleanup and repair advice in CMD, still stuck at 61% and throwing the same errors the most recent log is attached dcs.txt

OK so I've found logs for 1.5 and 2.5 After having a look I've found 2 lines in the log which seem to cause the same error on both 1.5 and 2.5 1.5:- UIBASERENDERER: Cannot load font [C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 1.5\dxgui\skins\fonts\]! 2.5: - UIBASERENDERER: Cannot load font [D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Stand Alone\dxgui\skins\fonts\]! and 1.5:- Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/modules/me_aircraft.lua"]:183: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value) 2.5:- Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/modules/me_static.lua"]:325: attempt to index field 'categories' (a nil value) dcs.doc

Where do I find my dcs.log?

Yeah I'm down 8gh of ram, which I'm not going to use flying round empty maps surely, plus why would that completely stop the game even loading?

Yeah nah, tried both of these, no dice. :doh:

Well my specs are i5-6600k, 8gh 3000Mhz Ram, Zotac GTX170, ASRock Gaming K6+ mobbo DCS ran super last time it ran.... I don't make amssive maps with loads of stuff in it, I don't play MP right now. Literally just load an empty map and fly about to get my hours up. I've give those things a try. Thanks

Thought I'd get back into DCS after a long hiatus. So I ran DCS 1.5 and it ran the update tool, so I clicked to update DCS to 2.5. Great. But now when I start the sim it goes through to the loading scree and then just sticks there at 61%. I've googled, I've uninstalled the old version, I've tried keeping the old version as a separate install, I've removed mods, I've tried running 1.5 but that sticks at 57%. This is probably a a really common bug I dunno but I'm getting hella frustrated with this. My specs will run the game before someone proffers that as a solution - plus under spec should not prevent the game from loading completely. Before I go ahead an bin the game right off my PC for a clean install what can I do? Any help muchly appreciated. Just wanna fly my Huey!!!
