I've been trying for days to update to the latest build without success. The download speed goes down to kbs instead of normal mbs and then sits on zero with a small speed increase to 1mbs every now and again. The drive has 700gb free space and I've never experienced this problem before. Other downloads for other games are all working as expected so my internet download speed is fine. I don't have the fastest internet in my area (10mbs) but it's the fastest I can get here. Anyone else had this problem with the latest update?

Hi Baltic, someone reported a similar problem in August and it was reported fixed but I just experienced the same problem. I successfully hit the building and I successfully hit the west technical by the river and then I hit the APC east of the Utah FOB, and I was careful to ensure I was coming in the from north and egressing west. I hit the target and Darkstar (I think) says great F'king hit, and then nothing happened. I flew around the area for about 10 minutes with no communication and then decided to fly back to base with no further comm's, and when I ended the mission it said I had killed friendlies and my score was wiped out. It looks like from the debrief that the APC is around some friendlies (wall and some other assets). Thoughts? Really enjoying the campaign by the way!!

Happened to me three times, once on 4YA server and twice in Afganistan weapons practice instant action mission. Command George to FCR area search; select target; select George weapon missile; consent to fire...instant CTD. Track attached. Edited to add: engagement with laser HF on point target worked fine, as did the traditional PHS point search and engagements. LastMissionTrack.trk

Hi everyone, Since the last update, I’ve noticed a strange behavior in the charts displayed in the TSD, they appear slightly blurred on all maps, especially at a scale of 1:250k. The same issue also occurs in the MFD export. What I’ve tried so far: Deleting the fxo and metashader folders Running a slow repair Unfortunately, without success. dcs.log DxDiag.txt

This is my Center Pilot view always off and down in Track IR

Hello, I've been away for about a week and wanted to do some helicopter flying again. After logging into various servers, I keep getting stuck after selecting my aircraft and a crash message appears. I then tried flying a campaign mission and a custom mission, but I always get the same crash message. The log says something about missing Voice_Chat.log or something similar. I've tried repairing the game via Steam, updating the game version to the last version and then back to the current version, and even restarting the computer hasn't worked. Now I'm a bit confused, when I start DCS without my VR headset, everything works strangely. So the problem only exists with my VR headset. I hope for your help. I use a Pimax Crystal OG Nvidia RTX4080 AMD Ryzon 7 7800X3D MSI MPG X670E Carbon Wifi Kingston Fury DDR5-6000 64 GB System drive: Crucial T700 1TB Game drive: Samsung SSD 990 EVO Plus 4TB My latest Log:dcs.log-20250915-112523.zip

@BIGNEWY just wondering if there is an update to the bug where the data link doesnt work when starting the aircraft cold. Starting the apache hot it seems to work just fine but only if the other party also started their aircraft hot. Thanks

Hi folks, It all started after I deleted the "fxo" and "metashaders2" folders which I still do once in a while and this has never caused me any issues but now I have some ridiculous problems. First thing I've noticed is when going to the WW2 Marianas Map and trying to select a helicopter I get an error message saying "There are no units available for this criteria. You Are Using Historical Mode". So I changed the mission date to 2020 instead of 1944 but then I still get strange things happening like a huge portion of units being unavailable. For example I can select a helicopter but lots of the helicopters which I have are missing from the list in the mission editor. If I however load up an old mission - the units do load correctly, even if they are not shown in the unit drop down menu. Same story with everything else like ships - it's like they are missing but they do exist if you load up an old mission. I repaired DCS - no effect. Removed all mods - no effect. Clean up - no effect. Struggling for ideas here... I've attached the Export.lua and the dcs.log files. Any help appreciated! Thank you! Export.lua dcs.log

Hi DCS People, I started up the launcher tonight to install the latest patch and discovered all the modules are now listed with Chinese. The selected language in the top left is still "EN". So....is there something wrong here? It appears to be all modules - although some have the numbers making them a little more identifiable. I don't this this is how it was displayed when I recently installed the Germany Map. Any ideas about how to fix this?

Hello, I decided to give the mig21 another try after several years. In two persistant campaigns that I have tried (Operation Enable and Through the Inferno: Caucasus), and in the stock missions (training and others), the comms are still not working on both the easy and non-easy comms setting. The squelch noise is there; the channel is set correctly; power is on etc. I checked the mission files in the editor and confirmed that the frequencies were correctly assigned to respective channels. So what's the deal here? I can live with unrealistic avionics and other quirks of this module, but lack of ATC and AWACS communication is a gamebreaker. I do not have this problem with any other modules. So I don't buy the "DCS updates broke the module" line. This issue has been with this module since 2015. I must say it is very poor showing by Leatherneck or Magnitude (not sure who is responsible for fixing basic bugs) and not a great incentive to purchase their other offerings. If there is a solution to the comms problem that I am not aware of (I read up on it on the forums here), please advise. Kind regards

Starting DCS without the launcher appears to resolve the issue. Exactly the same issue on DCS 2.9.18.12899, logs are from 2.9.18.12722 Method: Ensure UI launcher is enabled in settings Launch DCS, UI starts Select start DCS UI closes, DCS does not start, crash Workaround: Disable UI launcher in DCS settings Re-boot Windows - You need to do this if on the last attempted DCS start it crashed Launch DCS, DCS launches normally This is 100% reproducible for me, I'm not sure when the issue was actually introduced, as I upgraded twice without starting DCS over the last month and also installed the F4U. === Log opened UTC 2025-07-29 09:49:55 2025-07-29 09:49:56.156 INFO EDCORE (Main): Platform Timer Resolution: 15.73ms 2025-07-29 09:49:56.651 INFO EDCORE (Main): Created boot pool: n:20 2025-07-29 09:49:56.652 INFO APP (Main): Command line: "D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" 2025-07-29 09:49:56.652 INFO APP (Main): DCS/2.9.18.12722 (x86_64;

This should be considered an improvement or update rather than a direct bug: The St. Peter’s Cathedral (Dom St. Petri) in Fritzlar features two towers and is located further up the slope compared to the version currently placed in the DCS map. It is clearly visible from the airfield to the south and represents the town’s most prominent landmark, a true must-have for accurate representation.

Hi @BIGNEWY, as requested separate topic with track. I am using the supercarrier version of the mission below (version 7.4) When choosing a cold start slot, I am spawned on the deck but no deck crew is nearby. I also am not getting a message like "Awaiting salute gesture. Salute when ready". Can you please look into this? Thanks. supercarrier.trk

Of all the modules I have, this is the only one I have problems with, and it's like 90% of the time I try to load it. Didn't have an issue until the last update, but now it crashes DCS to desktop just about every time I try to load a campaign or scenario with it. Is anyone else having issues with it?

"sys1" has been very stable but crashed while trying to get multicrew working with "sys0". First crash in months. "sys0" has been crashing almost every day during the last two weeks. It works fine as long as I am not using multiplayer. I've included logs from both systems. Prior to the last couple of major updates, perhaps during the month of June, I had no problems with either system. Let me know If I need to include anything else. Both systems use different accounts both owned by me and both active for years. sys0 user name is N206LG. sys1 user name is SMJ. dcs_sys0.logdcs_sys1.log

Hi, I am unable to update to the newest patch. Seems the updater does not have permission to remove ed_sound.dll and DCS.exe when cleaning up after the update. I did a repair and slow file checker, no luck. Excluded DCS folder in the antivirus as well. Any Ideas? autoupdate_log.txt

I am installing DCS on a new PC. I have installed the core game, the Nevada map, the F18, the F4 & Syria. I am trying to install Afghanistan, Germany, the F14 and the Harrier. I have set the download going twice now and come back to the machine and its not installed the 4 modules. I tried just installing the Tomcat, I get an updater message saying its found 4700 files in downloads totaling 216GB that it does not need and gives me the option to delete or cancel. I already chose "delete" once and started the install progress again..... If I cancel, the install just stops. Not sure how to proceed....it seems to have downloaded the files needed, but cant install the modules? Cheers

the launcher is saying update available but wont install keeps saying not authorized what the hell ? havent changed anything repair does nothing and its not even showing in the terrain list all the other maps are there but not the Marianas. got me stumped never seen this before just an addon to this reinstalling doesn't change it either unfortunately autoupdate_log.txt

Hi there I'm having major crash issues here. So far DCS crashed to DT multiple times ( 8 or 10 ) within the last hour at start of mission from ME & also from the main mission list. Yesterday was testing & flying same mission from ME all day with no issues. Returned this afternoon & can't get a start. I've run the Repair from Log On page & also deleted Meta Shaders & FXO files & cleaned out temp files from my drive & also rebooted my rig & checked for Win & Nvidia updates & still it cannot start this mission & crashes in about the same place every time. Once or twice it shut down my whole system to the point of my rig having to start in Safe Mode & then went into BIOS. DCS is causing some major issues atm. I haven't changed anything since yesterday when all was pretty good, so I'm scratching my head with this one. I've attached most of the Log files from this afternoon but not all as some were skipped due to file size. Cheers, thankyou in advance if anyone has any ideas.

As per the title - reinstalled DCS on a new machine, and now my cockpit view in the Bf 109 is stuck well to the left of the cockpit. With the Revi gunsight up I'm centred in the cockpit, but the sight still requires shifting waaay to the right to see it. My previous install had no issues and worked as intended. Any suggestions? Edit: .... and somehow it fixed itself with no action on my part. Re-booting DCS the first 3 times did nothing, but the 4th worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was trying to bomb a tank under a bridge today and it just kept blowing up when it hit the top of the bridge like an instant fuse whether I set it to delay 1 or delay 2. Is there something I'm missing or is this just not working right now? I haven't used GBU-12's with a delayed fuse in a while, but I don't remember this ever being a problem.

I have just started to get this since the last couple of updates. I have already attempted the following troubleshooting steps without success: Checked Internet Connection: Restarted my router and confirmed stable internet connectivity. DCS World Account: Logged out and logged back into my DCS World account within the game. Verified Module Ownership: Confirmed on the Eagle Dynamics website that the F/A-18C module is listed under my licenses and is bound to my account. DCS World Repair: Ran the "Repair DCS World" utility. Firewall/Antivirus: Temporarily disabled my firewall and antivirus, and also added exceptions for DCS.exe and related processes. System Date and Time: Ensured my system's date, time, and timezone are set correctly and synchronised automatically. PC Restart: Restarted my computer multiple times. Logs: Deleted the dcs.log file from Saved Games\DCS\Logs and then ran a repair. Despite these steps, the authorization for the F/A-18C module continues to fail. If anyone can help, I'm all out of ideas. null

For some reason, the launcher is positioned so high that the top half is completely cut off. I have never messed with any of the launcher settings except to turn it on or off. It seems impossible to drag down, I can not even see the part showing the size preference of the launcher window. I care less about what happened but if anyone knows how to fix this, it would be great.

Hi Having an issue logging in. It appears the client cannot retrieve the necessary login data from my DCS account. I think this issue has been covered a while back on this thread https://forum.dcs.world/topic/369453-dcs-launcher-error-after-latest-update/ and I've read through it, but as yet nothing has helped. I get the following sequence of dialogs when trying to start the DCS client. 1. API Error Method: httpGET Message: Timeout Reached 2. Error Cose -28 Reason:Error: News List Loading error: Timeout was reached. 3. Warning you’re going to run DCS without login. Only free modules will be available in this mode. 4.
