2.5.2 hangs on loading screen

Solved, you can skip this.

I was already flying on the new Persian Gulf map for a couple of days when suddenly DCS won't load anymore. It hangs after 55%, even an hour later it's still stuck at 55% at the loading screen.

I would say I haven't changed anything. No new graphic drivers, no Windows update, nothing.

Even disabling firewall/antivirus etc. doesn't help. Repair/updatedoes nothing, only reporting game is up to date.

The log files reports some missing serial numbers but as I said, I was already flying with the Harrier at Dubai and checking the serials reports they are still valid.

Deleting the options.lua didn't help either. Now I'm out of ideas.

Logfile attached.

I had the same, stuck loading at 55%.

Support said: "Please rename the folder MissionEditor located here

C:\Users\user\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor to any Temp name, then run DCS again"

I didn't rename this mission editor folder, I just deleted it. It will be built again by DCS.

Hope, it helps.

Solved.

Thanks wernst, after my post I renamed the complete dcs folder under saved games and now it's working again.

And reusing my old saved games folder but renaming that MissionEditor folder works too.

Note: the Mission Editor folder contains your log book; so includes your flight hours and any SP campaign progress.

Yes, thanks, I know, but so far I had not much progress in performing any SP campaign. And I don't want to save this disaster . . .
