CTD in Multiplayer/Masterserver/Gamestart related to User Input Config Folder

I've been witnessing crashes to desktop after Multiplayer/Masterlogin usually after changing Control settings for my CH-Products in the game Controls.

Mate uses the TM Warthog gear, and he has it even worse, he couldn't even reach Multiplayer/Login, his game would always crash after displaying the Version-Number.

Fix to his solution was Deleting the entire config content in C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS\

Fix to my problem which was more about crashes after Multiplayer/Masterlogin. And most certainly shows up after changing control settings, like axis-tune etc. After fixing the problem, it will eventually show up again when changing control settings or finetune, eventually. At least from what I have seen.

For my behavior I was able to pinpoint the issue to deleting the following folder:

C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS\Config

i.e. Input stuff. Deleting all other DCS folders will not remove the CTD situation. Also the .luas in the Config do not seem to be the problem. It's related to the Input Config files. After Deleting the Config folder i.e. replacing them with a working backup it always worked to launch the main game and Multiplayer/Login without a crash.

Okay I stand corrected. I've also seen cases where it doesn't seem to be related to the input config folder. Tried copying msvrc100.dll thingy or whatnot to the game folder as stated in another thread. Can't report yet if it solves the login crash, but didn't have any similar issues since around 5-6 hours of playtime up to now.

This worked for me after deleting the old version of A-10 and then re-installing DCSW and then deleting saved-game folder after install. Hopefully this helps someone.
