DCS World has stopped working.

[Milli]

I have installed DCS_World_1.2.11.33921.545-358, a fresh install after uninstalling the previous one. Before installing i also deleted any DCS folders from varioius places - saved games, appdata folders etc. So it was a completely fresh start.

 

I now get a DCS World has stopped working error whenever i try to fly a mission. It crashes back to the main interface gui.

 

I have done 3 fresh installs, I've tried deleting all the various data folders, running repairs, running as admininistrator, reinstalling directX and the visual runtimes, matching resolutions, changing graphics settings to minimums. I'm running no mods. Always crashes whenever i try to fly, be it a training mission, a quick mission or a saved mission. I'm getting very fed up with.

 

Here's my most recent log file:

I can see two errors.

1.ERROR DXGUI_EDGE_RENDER: Cannot load texture ''

and

2. 00022.421 UNKNOWN main: checking introduction C:\Users\THEOWN~1\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\tempMission.miz

00022.421 UNKNOWN main: introduction NOT found

 

Any ideas to save my sanity?

Nevermind, I've sorted the problem. I right-clicked on the DCS World folder and selected "Grant Admin Full Control". Every single file in the folder now has admin rights. Missions load fine now. Thank god for that.
