Snake-fx Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 After upgrading my PC this summer I have installed DCS and A-10C ( a complete new buy as my precedent A-10C was a very early release and I preferres to have latest version to avoid problem ). When I launch DCS it stay for 10 ( rarely ) to 14 ( often ) minutes with a black screen and windows seven loading cursor ( the little blu circle ). Then when I launch a mission it stay in loading screen for 4 to 6 minutes. Upgrading to the latest two versions 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 don't solve the problem. Initially the problem was also present in the DCS World installation without A-10C and I have tried to disinstall it and then reinstall after cleaning the PC and registry windows. Also this don't solve the problem. Consider that after the initial loading if I exit from DCS and then relaunch it, it start in 1-2 seconds and if I launch the mission it start in some seconds ( apparently more complex mission request more seconds and simply mission not however all start in less than a minute). But at every Windows Seven restart all is forgotten and again it start in 10-14 minute and 6-4 minute for the mission. A total of 20 minute of wait :doh: The only thing that seem to have some kind of effect is to launch the repair procedure before starting DCS ( Start/Eagle Dynamics/DCS world/repair DCS world ) and in this case DCS start in 3 to 5 minute, but launching the mission isn't influenced by this partial remedy and continue to start in 6-4 minute. DCS worl is installed in a SSD hard disk ( AHCI enabled ). My configuration is: motherboard MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming cpu Intel core I5-4570S ( Haswell) hd 1 SSD OCZ vertex 3 120GB ( Windows Seven ultimate 64 bit ) hd 2 SAAT 1TB samsung (actually I don't remember the type ) with programs and some game in dedicated partition ( also FSX and X-plane 10 ) hd 3 SATA 2TB ( western digitalgreen) used like an archive ( video, photo,ecc ) The new SSD dedicated to flight simulation but for now only with DCS on it is a Samsung solid state disk 250GB Srie 840EVO Ram Corsair XMS3 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ cl9 VGA Radeon HD6970 2GB Audio Creative Soundblaster Z A last thing rarely when I launch DCS it seems not to starting at all showing no HD activity and no black screen or something else, in this case I use ctrl+alt+canc to start task manager but when it appear soon DCS start ( with the long time waiting screen ) but if I don't launch task manager it sure don't start anyway ( I have tried to wait 20 minutes ).

danilop Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Are you connected to the internet while experiencing slow start in DCSW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtaliaA1 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Are you connected to the internet while experiencing slow start in DCSW? Do you have USB devices plugged into your system? If so try unplugging all that you do not need. ie. printers, any gaming devices that are not used for DCS. and what HOTAS are you using? This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

ENO Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Are your drives connected via the same type of port controller or across a range of controllers? Have you tried moving your full install into the standard location to see if that works? Then you can muck about with a custom setup.

Snake-fx Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 1 Yes I am connected to Internet while launching ( I will try to disconnect and I will report result ) 2 USB devices plugged when I start DCS: Logitech G940, Track IR. 3 All HD use the same type of port controller and DCS is installed on the new SSD as there is no space to try installing it in the default ( C: ) in wich there is Windows Seven. I have tried also to disable AVG antivirus temporarily while launching but with no results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have tried also to disable AVG antivirus temporarily while launching but with no results. Some AV software doesn't seem to disable as completely as one might think. You might also try adding the DCS folder to the AV software's exclusion list.

Snake-fx Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 For now, launching DCS without Internet connection don't change the situation, long waiting remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-fx Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have tried to add the entire DCS World folder to the exceptions of the AVG antivirus in its options but also this don't change the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENO Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Have you tried running it with no input devices at all? You may also need to rename your input folder in user / saved games / dcs / config (as a backup) and then run the game again. The game will rebuild that folder... see if it helps.

Snake-fx Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sorry for not to reply in the last days, I am checking and verifying the various suggestions, for now I can say thaa starting DCS without any input devices don't solve the problem.

Tone71 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I would try installing DCS on one of your other HD's (not the SSD) and launch from there, just to rule out the drive. (I'm not saying it's faulty, it's just a process of elimination).

Windows Firewall is disabled. Windows Defender is always disabled as I use AVG Antivirus. "messed about with the Page File, or the Affinity Mask?" I haven't a clear idea of what is it??

Tone71 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It is possible to install 2 DCS World?? I have a feeling it is. People ran the beta alongside their installations, and I'm sure others keep older, stable versions alongside the current release. Not tried it myself though, so don't quote me!

will- Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Ran repair and now I have long load times. Was patched before. You could be correct also by running the beta... I'm sure it will get fixed in due time. Along with track ir and other misc bugs, etc..

No when I run repair I have to wait only 4-5 minutes, for now it is the only solution to the 14 minutes of wait of default. This happen from the first installation. Updating to the last two official update don't solve the problem. Only some days ago I have found this partial solution, I have never used repair option before.

Snake-fx Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 If I click ok it reappear for two three times than it change in the application bar ( you can see the image with a little yellow key appearing). Then clicking ok it return on DCS World and the message "Cannot load debriefing file appear". Then exit DCS and relaunch all seems to work well. fsscr031 di DardoBlu, su Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-fx Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Ok, after trying to install DCS World on another conventional hard disk ( not the dedicated ssd that I have on my PC, dedicated to flightsims ) it seems that this installation start in 3/5 seconds ( like anyone I think ) and all appear to work without problems. Now I will try to update at the last version of DCS and then reinstalling the A-10C to see if all continue to work well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
