KesMonkey Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 This weekend, I decided to move some data around on my drives. This involved uninstalling DCS World, and Steam itself. I then re-installed Steam, and DCS World to a freshly formatted drive. When I tried to launch the game, I got the error message "Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable)". So, I verified the game cache, and tried again. Same error. At this point, I navigated to the DCS World folder to discover....nothing but my modules. There's no base game installed. [\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld] contains one folder called mods, which contains all of my modules, and one file, called "_DCS_Steam" with no file extension. That's it. The enirety of the base game is missing, and 5 attempts (so far) to re-download it have all yielded the same result. Can anyone help me please? :cry:
KesMonkey Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Sorted! Steam download is now as it should be. All is good. :)

KesMonkey Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 What happend? I don't know. It seems it was a temporary glitch on Steam's end.
