[CLOSED] My Game Crash SOLVED

It was all due to my Saved Games files carried over from 1.2.16 and perfectly OK in the original 1.5 but not after the 1.5 Update this morning.

My solution was:

Rename folder

\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\

to

Saved Games\DCS.openbetaHold\

Start DCS as normal. This creates a new \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder

Go to Tools (the gear symbol replacing the old OPTION menu item).

Set up your SYSTEM preferences by hand - seemed the quickest way.

Set up your AUDIO options by hand - ditto

Set up your MISC options by hand - ditto

Set up your SPECIAL options by hand for each aircraft - ditto

Under CONTROLS, for each aircraft, highlight a controller cell, select Load Profile, Navigate to the old \DCS.openbetaHold\Config\Input\[aircraft]\[controller-type] and select the appropriate file for loading.

Do all controllers for one aircraft. Click OK to have these settings saved into your settings folders:-

\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\[aircraft]\[controller]

Do the other aircraft.

I have not got as far as modifications to standard files but hopefully you will be up and flying.

Thank you very much! :)

Your solution solved my crashes at exit as well :)

However, I did not delete the whole \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ folder.

Instead, in the \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config folder I deleted the Options.lua, Network.cfg and Network.vault files.

For safety I also deleted the files in the \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Data\MagVar\TabularData folder.

This way I kept all my controls setup without problems.

Game working fine now. :)

Even better :)

I was not clear bout which files might do it and I saw a post elsewhere by SithSpawn saying to delete all the files.

I'm going to be trying this when I get home. What type of crashes were you experiencing? The only one I have is after taking off and 5 minutes into flight, once AI fighting starts.

Specifically crashes on exit from mission.

The rest of the game worked fine, but as soon as I ended the misson, the game would freeze at the menu screen, before showing debrief.

Please let me know if it worked, I have the same problem!
