1.2.8 Crashing on load

[T-Bear]

Hi Guys,

 

Maybe somebody can help...?

 

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago when I tried to update to 1.2.8. Reverting to 1.2.7 was okay.

Tried again today but :(

After update I get a crash on load. Me.txt attached.

 

I tried to repair, but no joy.

 

Any ideas?

me.rar

If it were me I would go to this file:

 

\MissionEditor\modules\Options\DbOption.lua

 

and rename it DbOption1.lua and then try another repair.

 

At least that would be my first step. That will get the file rebuilt-

 

 

 

I would also consider a "saved games / dcs folder" rename to dcs1 since there is also a mission editor entry there.

 

 

If it doesn't work, you can delete the folder that is added during a repair / restart and we can return to the drawing board.

Hi ENO,

 

Thx for the reply.

 

I tried the rename and repair. Nope :(

 

Tried the rebuild the Saved Gamed DCS folder also but same result.

It just rebuilt the folder and repair replaced the bdoptions.lua.

 

The new Me.txt is the same as the one posted above.

Hmmm- how did you do the udpate?

 

 

As silly as it sounds- sometimes a restart helps.

I'm back!

 

Just tried a restart - nope. Still the same GUI error in the me.log (new one).

 

I would be thinking corrupt d/l but this is the second time and the same issue.

 

Stumped...

Does it affect MP starts as well as SP start?

[T-Bear]

Great minds.... :)

 

Just tried loading up multi mission on pvt server. Works!

 

Must be something simple....

Very strange... Be interested to get some input from someone more knowledgeable than me-

 

Which modules do you have loaded?

[T-Bear]

Thx for the help ENO.

 

I have A10C, P51, CA, and FC3.

I reverted to 1.2.7 again.... need my fix :)

 

Might try updating again at the weekend when I have more time. Others are having crashes on load as well but no clear solution yet...

Thought I'd heard something about a module manager problem from before... I'll need to go look around for it.

 

If it were me, I'd probably try to do a clean install of 128 without any additional modules and see what happened. If you've been loading the ED files, it might be worth trying the steam files...

 

It's a weird problem... for sure.

[ENO]

So on a fact finding mission I went into that file to line 131 and took a look at what it was.

 

Mine looks like this starting at 131:

 

return Factory.createClass({

construct = construct,

setValue = setValue,

setEnforceable = setEnforceable,

setValues = setValues,

checkbox = checkbox,

radio = radio,

slider = slider,

combo = combo,

low = low,

medium = medium,

high = high,

staticName = staticName,

checkboxName = checkboxName,

radioName = radioName,

sliderName = sliderName,

comboName = comboName,

Item = Item,

Range = Range,

})

 

 

Makes me wonder if you copy and paste that into yours if that would work... What does yours look like?

Hi c0ff and ENO,

 

That was it! :)

I knew it had to be something simple.

Thx a mil for all the help.
