fable2omg Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) As mentioned in this post http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2184236&posted=1#post2184236 DCS world has a hard time starting complex missions with the Mig-21 module. DCS world is flawless until I install the Mig-21, and when I start a complex mission such as the instant mission 'cold start', the game seems to idle at the windowed box loading thingy that usually appears for less than a second unless a key needs to be entered. The attached PNG is a screenshot taken just now, since it froze again. So far it successfully loads 1/10th of the time with this specific mission, and when starting a custom one with only the Mig-21 in the map it always starts properly. Edit: It doesn't matter if the mig-21 is in the loading map or not, missions with the Su-25 also won't load unless the map is fairly empty, although as I said, it only happens when the module is installed, since DCS world was flawless with other modules. Specs are; Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z77 CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.40GHz GPU: ATI Radeon 7970 Hard disk: 1.82TB (can't find the name) SSD: Crucial M4 128GB RAM: 16GB Edited September 20, 2014 by fable2omg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fable2omg Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 I can do some troubleshooting, or install micro-patches if you want, the problem shouldn't be hard to pinpoint, the .exe just idles at that point, for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fable2omg Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Well, it's hopeless. I can't do any training missions, and can only fly alone in the sky. I guess I'll just wait until a new patch comes out hopefully fixing everything. 1.2.9 didn't work for me either until 1.2.10 came out. It was 1.2.8 that worked flawlessly.

Flagrum Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It seems to me as if DCS fails to open the graphics screen to display the 3d world. I have seen this kind of problem earlier on the forums. The common advice then was to check if - somehow - not the dedicated graphics card is used, but the (usually far less capable) built-in graphics of the main board. But tbh, I have no idea of how you can check and/or change that. Maybe you can research into this direction a bit more - perhaps in the control panel of your GPU.

Will do, I appreciate any kind of support, the Mig-21 is my favorite airplane in the world so you cannot believe the disappointment I have right now after waiting for so long for it.

fable2omg Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Gentlemen, update on the current situation have left me with mixed feelings ranging from contempt to desperation. It appears that the issue may or may not reside in the compatibility system of Windows 7. I have attempted days ago to solve the issue by setting every .exe to compatibility mode Vista SP2, which worked for early versions of DCS. What I did not do, is set the dcs_protect.exe to the same mode, which left my game freezing every time it tried to access this executable, which I eventually fixed by setting it to the same compatibility mode. Recently I've de-activated every compatibility mode leaving only the "run as admin" option on everything. Turns out this didn't solve the problem for bigger maps, but now I can certify a 100% success rate for the "cold start" mission, which is satisfactory for me, and I also seem to be able to load most of the training missions. Either that, or my computer has some sort of artificial intelligence that spot issues and fixes them along the way. I'm at a loss, again. If anyone ever has the same issue I have only pity for them. Edited September 23, 2014 by fable2omg Forgot to mention that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fable2omg Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sorry for the late reply, I didn't know I had to manually subscribe to posts on this forum.. ..The issue was fixed thanks to the latest update, I swear I tried re-installing everything before and it didn't work, but now it does anyway. Sometimes, it's better just not to question things lol Thanks Nick for the assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Similar issue occures for me in different way. DCS freezes only when entered mission. Yes, complex mission (I mean lots of aircrafts in mission) and including MiG-21. On "selecting side" page, DCS freezes for 15 secs. and later moves on. That's it...

ED Team Raptor9 Posted January 12, 2015 ED Team Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have all the latest versions of the DCS setup files that were released in the update a couple days ago (1.2.14.35734.604-387) I did a clean install of each DCS module one at a time, and DCS worked fine, until I installed the MiG-21 module. Can't load into multiplayer log in screen or a singleplayer mission, gets stuck like in the attached thumbnail in the first post. I went into module manager and uninstalled the MiG-21 module, and everything works perfectly again...hmmm Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.
