+1 I own every module and FC3 and A10 are constantly requesting codes. For some reason Mig 29 is completely denied. THIS BEGAN BEFORE PATCH. 2 days ago exactly if it matters.

Again as a EA Super Carrier owner... who cares? What is going on with the fps!?????? Super Carrier released on a broken core does not sound exciting to me!

+1 I really am disgusted by how ED is handling their broken sim right now..

+1

Thanks Spike! That was my first idea! It doesnt change though. As far as I can tell it seems to be a mission breaking glitch and not recoverable. Unless there is something I am not thinking of, I think this is not something mkdeled on purpose Im kinda surprised to see yet another glitch others are not seeing.

Perhaps next time before biting your fellow pilots hand, you will check their facts. The irony here is that it does seem the "Developer Defenders" are more sensitive and compulsive than the ("Whiners/Complainers"). He has every right to be upset, even if he has no BASIS to be upset (And in this case, has that too). This is an extreme case, even ED seems to be admitting they are dropping the ball so can we please stop turning on each other? Now.. Does, anyone have a timeframe or a summery on what to expect? I really could use some gossip on the FPS issue. So far all I hear is some F18 work has been done., which I as an F-18 owner could careless about since the base sim is in the pooper. Even unreliable gossip will do for me. :smilewink:

Hmm. Well if DCS hadn't stopped working completely I could answer them. Lol thank you for the heads up. I have tried reinstalling in several versions, pre 2.5.6 as well as mentioned the versions on the VA site. Only a week and they closed it lol...

Its any loadout. Jdam, 84s, specifically any AG weapon. External fuel tanks show but the bombs do not. It is not from the reload option, at least I have not seen/tested it calling up the crew chief. Its the mission defualt loadout. Loadup Dawn Raider or Dire Straits and weapons are on the wing, but not in Stores. Strangly, I found another weird quirk. if I load up Direstraits, no bombs displayed on stores page. Go in mission editor, change OTHER setting, maybe time or weather, go into "Dire Straits Edited" and weapons are in storespage. Or the above is viceversa. Defualt mission has weapons on stores page, edit that mission (again not touching loadout) and stores no longer appear.. Wasnt sure if this is supposed to be this way and I am missing something, but I have not seen this until recently Thanks Swift!

Can someone tell me what is going on here?

Hey folks, Real quick want to verify if others have seen this issue in the various 2.6 versions. Basically I can load a mission, most recently Dawn Raiders, and the bomb loadout is not on the stores page. Despite the bombs being loaded on. Certain missions seem to see this problem arise more than other missions. Thanks Fang

Looks like that "transparency" we were surprised to see lasted one whole week! This is officially the craziest situation in software I have ever seen in 3 decades. Considering the weird communication (throwing mods to the wolves), the promises, broken promises, censorship, the refusal to rollback back a few days after it was confirmed there was serious problems (Feb). Why is there more info on unofficial forum sites!? I could literally freewrite the unintuitive decision's being made here for 5 minutes straight. And I have only been in DCS for less than a year! It appears ED has the "What Not To Do" book open and they are deadset on reading it verse by verse. In Latin.

After a LONG process of elimination, The offending file seems to be the "Options.LUA" Under saved games and config. Copy over to new OB folder. Game Broke. Undo File move and Game is back in business. Luckily I took screens of settings that I forgot about so it seems everything has come back together. If anyone has same issues, try renaming OBS folder try something like, I dunno "Crap" restart the sim. Again the file that went corrupt was the 1kb "options.LUA" Thanks again, these are stressful times and its good to at least have DCS able to turn on again!

Svsmonkey, I need you to stop. Pat yourself on the back. THANK YOU! Step 1a did not work but step 1b deleting saved games brought it back to life. Could you kindly point me to where I can restore my Graphic settings and saved games (whatever I can getaway with without re-corrupt the system)? I tried just copying a few folders to see if I could get off "Easy" and it messes up. Maybe if I copy specific items from the Saved Games OB folder? Something odd I am experiencing in the "fresh" version is the cursor seems to stay on (in the menu at least). I don't remember that, its kinda annoying the cursor loitering around on the last click.

Update I reverted back and it did not work! Please help me get DCS back!

I am at my wits end with the amount of issues with DCS. Everyday is like Christmas morning in hell. Something new is always breaking!!! As I was trying to troubleshoot issues with VA/Vaicom DCS stopped loading the sound and main menu in the VR lobby. I am just standing next to an aircraft in a hanger with no menu. It also does not boot period into 2D mode, it just hangs. I wasn't doing anything besides turng it on and off while pulling my hair out with VA problems. I have tried repair but it does nothing. What do I do!!!? To avoid losing "Mods" and saves, should I try rolling back? Can someone quickly give me directions on that again? Or what the next best fix would be? without losing mods and whatnot. I literally feel like DCS has been on life-support for the last 3 months and it finally croaked. Mods thank you for putting this in the appropriate area. I just need help asap. [ATTACH][ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

First off, Yay subforum! we NEEDED this! Now, I have basically been reporting MAJOR issues with VA/Vaicom over the last few months. It should be noted that all of this ran fine before Feb for me. Now VA is a big mess. I am copying and pasting some of my posts from another thread at Voice Atack that was started by somebody else having the same issues.... In the previous posts I could not officially say if it was the older version of DCS causing the problems with the current version VA. (Before DCS OB 2.6 for those who know what I am talking about). I have installed the latest DCS patch and VA is constantly disabling my mic before a command is given. Same as other DCS versions. This happens in all modules as I happen to own them all. NOW Voice attack does not like my mic, I have tried setting default in windows, frequencies nothing helps. It seems like Voice Attack maybe fighting to share the mic with other programs but that is really a complete guess. That is just the best way to describe problem #1. When it does share the mic it still turns itself off after one second or crashes 95% of the time. When no module is loaded it seems to stop listening one second after mic activated. When module loads (F-18 for example) Mic starts to shutoff as described. Also having F-14 Jester command issues as already reported. ITS A MESS! MESSY MESSY MESS! Also I now have a lot of sound crackling issues when VA and DCS and everything is running, but I assume that is also Windows Update. I have disabled hotplug, (no_device_hotplug = true), tried every version of every software combo, reinstalls, some other ideas I am probably not thinking about, everything. Visit the Thread reported by another user on VA's site here: https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=3198.new#new Please help, I used to LOVE using VA/VAicom/VP Fang

A little patience, Like the entire first quarter of 2020? Beloved sim friends, in less than 2 weeks, DCS will have been in this situation for a full 4 months. Hardly "a little" at this point. And I can certainly understand why people are upset. I personally paid the price of a small used car for this sim, and I have not had a single version that performs as advertised. Not since Feb. Now. Am I gonna sit back and bash ED nonstop... No. But. Am I gonna sit back and pretend this isnt the craziest software issue that I have personally seen since the release of Windows Vista? Well No. I feel I should make it a point to note that DCS has a community that most other software makers simply do not. I don't think we would be seeing the amount of support, patience, and understanding from any other user group. Not to mention some of the hard work, the CUSTOMERS are doing to help solve this mess. Still that patience and love will not last forever. At the end of the day, the sim that works for everyone will always eventually beat the one that works for a select group or nobody at all. Shinier things will come along... Its time ED, We need to get DCS out of this sinkhole. For the sake of all of us.

Is this still available? Both Links are down

It IS friday no? Sigh I hope we see an update on something. I was impressed last week by ED but this week they dropped the ball...Still fingers crossed. Seemingly this is becoming more dependent on opinion as I swear I have seen those kinds of posts deleted in that thread for "Off-Topic". Honestly the last patch made things worse for me and to have 2 weeks of silence, in the middle of such a mess, after so many months... Sigh, some of us are really questioning where we wanna go with DCS at this rate. I cannot record videos anymore, I cannot demonstrate campaign walkthroughs as none of the versions do what DCS advertises anymore. Meanwhile every other project has been chugging along smoothly. DCS remains frozen in 2.5.6 hell... ... For almost 1/3rd a year already. Almost a 3rd of a year DCS has been in hiatus now. I want to promote the joy of DCS, help share experiences with new pilots, but the random communication's, lack of updates on updates and no ETA makes it impossible. Last week, Communication + patch (even though it made things worse for some) = 10 outta 10 in my book for effort. This week, No patch + no communication on the issue = 0 outta 10. Average's 5 outta 10 for my customer experience. And who knew!? The pilots on my corner of the globe see this and do not want that "DCS Hassle". I know DCS is great brand. The joy education it brings to so many when it work's is outstanding. I just do not see an end to the FPS crisis in site. And if ED does, they aint saying it.

I've seen quite a few people get scared away in the last few months as well. Its probably not the best time to have a "Try All" Modules for new guys. Again I am glad DCS is doing this (I don't benefit as I own it all)...But LITERALLY the first thing I check for before I even get TEMPTED by a sim is if it will work on my system. This is exactly why I am not jumping up and down for another title that was recently released on "Alpha". Literally a sim can have Real ATC 24/7 live, ground crew animations, photoreal scenery, and graphics that melt your mind. If its a stuttery mess its not worth the time. The only reason I personally have stuck around, (and I am sure there are plenty others), is becuase I know DCS CAN work. That and I gave DCS a LOT of money. I mean a ton. Hardware, computer equipment, Rift, ALL FOR DCS. And it all sits unused now. As it has for months.

Well if I can see the issues on multiple computers, VR and not, I'm willing to bet that MOST people will be having this issue. My performance, ESPECIALLY in the F-16 (which was supposed to be worked on according to last patch?) Has DROPPED further. I also noticed some other people (albeit not everyone) saying this last week. I ran every module on DCS and saw nothing improve last week. EVERY module. Lastly, stutters and fps hits on my side still exist EVEN after rolling back. Its smoother and harder to see in VR, but slowdowns and CPU still exists now in versions they did not for me. DCS Reinstall. DCS repair. Version changes. Voice attack and Vaicom reloads, Reinstalls and version tests does not change any results. I cannot get back to where I was (shooting videos, etc) Feb 2020.

Agreed. My DCS has not been operational since Feb. No rolling back or "Stable" can put all the pieces back for VA/VAICOM(both?) and other growing issues I am seeing. Can't help but to continue to wonder how many new people trying DCS for free, will see the same and be scared away. I would have figured the way DCS plays it was not meant for VR. At least not on my system. I would have never figured this same DCS played flawlessly (FPS-wise) just a few patches ago.. I guess like many I will come back to DCS... Next week? I really hope another patch is released soon.

Yes can we please have some headsup on this?

Thank you checking it out! I will be using this if I can get a little more serious about this. Looks like a little work but I am so glad you pointed me in this direction! If only I understood any of it! lol. I am also deleting the fxo and shader and I did discover that after the update from 2..5 to 2..6 DCS routed audio back to the headsets themselves instead of Voicemeter. That was definitely making the problem far worse. I am also going to look Hot Plug Devices as recommended by the VA forum for VA issues. Will report more on this.

me neither. Glad to hear this should be addressed. Honestly I am having severe Quality issues with VA and/or Viacom.
