Karaya1 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 So recently I installed DCS World from Steam, installation was fine, when I went to run the game it had an auto-update, so I let that go through. When I came back from making myself some food, it said that it had lost connection or disconnected or something so I suspect it didn't finish, my friend installed and updated in the same way and it works for him but he didn't have any disconnection during the update. So now when I start the game the screen goes black, then returns to desktop, and then says "DCS has stopped working". Is it the update? Is it resolution settings? I have no idea about these things, because as far as I know this should have been easy. I can run every other Flight Sim I own but not this one and I'm worried that it's because of the update because when I reinstall it doesn't give me the option to update again and continues crashing on startup instead of bringing up another auto-update for me.

Karaya1 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 Also a little black window called "bin/launcher.exe" or something shows up for a second or two and then disappears, this launcher has nothing in it. Is it meant to? Also sorry if I sound silly of course, but start menu, do you mean right click and repair? I don't see any repair, sorry. I'll give my specs in a sec.

Karaya1 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 I ran something which verifies and installs missing files which is built into Steam, and I also asked my friend if he had this folder and he doesn't yet it works for him. I re-downloaded it twice before and it does the same things.
