Info about your system would help.

Along with Crash Logs from Windows, DCS, etc.

MOVE contents of save games folder or move then make a new empty one, don't delete it yet just move to desktop or somewhere.

what AC are you trying to fly ?

Remove any mod related to long range visibility, if any is present.

Change your distance level from high to low, to medium in game option and try make a start. Then you can safely go back to high.

This was a situation that it worked for me.

Same deal with me. But very random. Some fixes seem to work , but I can't tell due to the randomness of it.

Yesterday I started a mission 3 times and the first 2 it crashed to unable to load briefing file. 3rd time it worked, no changes on my side. This started for me when I upgraded to 1.2.7 . Have not been able to get any help here either

Thanks guys, today i'm going to remove DCS, and then do a complete re-install of the latest and greatest 1.2.10.30996.495-346 Verrrrrrrrrsion. I remember having installed the greater distance vision or trying to see ground targets/ air targets mod to better see planes! The problem was I couldn't remember where that all went into...

Thanks to the guys that had positive feed back! (YA-All..Helped!) Thanks!!

A complete re-install did the trick!

...Back in the saddle again!...

EDIT;9-3-14

Looking better now... Except that nasty CTD when you try to use the backslash to try and contact the AWAC or tower = "CTD"

This has got to be a known problem...anyone have any input on that?

EDIT; 9-4-14

DCS is "Freezing up!" again now when trying to create a server on ED Net...the mission loads about half way then locks up...this is getting old! We have a new spick and span vinilla set up! And as far as 'my specs" go...I've been making missions and playin DCS for a long time now so no....it's not my flying machine!!! With CA you can play single player all day no crash...but don't push that back-slash key=CTD.... Go to ED Net...with the same mission...awwwww shit....In FC3 Single player is ok , but don't try and contact AWACS AKA the "\" or else ..CTD...Mutiplayer is ok ..but don't go for that backslash or else CTD...hummm anyone have a reasonable explanation as to what is going on?...Besides saying "your CTDing" ....DOOOOOh...burried again....

Deleting the saved game files under C:\user\saved games\dcs worked for me. Hope this helps someone since it looks like a lot of people are having this problem. Also this is not the way I wanted to start playing this SIM. I just D\L'd it last night. It looks like a syntax error in the code.

Check out this thread for help and tips.

I've also seen some users fix their issues by increasing the cooling on the CPU and GPU.

Check your temps as DCS is a graphically intensive game and pushes the limits for most CPUs/GPUs.

Hi all,

just want to jump in here as i have the same "Cannot open debriefing file"-crash. I have found out, that this crash always comes up after i have send windows into standby/energy saving mode. A fresh windows restart and everything runs fine again.

Sounds like Memory or Cache is full. The Restart indicates this because it is empty at start up.

Add your PC specs to the next post please.

Interesting. I often do that while in the ME or after a mission at the debriefing screen - sometimes my DCS "runs" a whole week without restarting it. But somehow I never tried to set the system into standby while a mission was still running.

If I has less then 6GB and a 32bit OS , would it run at all ?

Remember, I said it's RANDOM
