launcher won't work after updating to 1.2.11 ???

[a1adin]

Hi Guys,

 

My old DCS World v.1.2.7 works fine on my system.

Then yesterday I decide to add Flaming Cliff 3,

so I must update my DCS World to 1.2.11 first.

 

But after updating successfully to 1.2.11,

I find Launcher.exe does not work properly.

I just get a small blank black window, then it is gone.

No error message at all.

 

So what is wrong here?

Please let me know.

after doing some googling on the net,

some people say that the min ram requirement of 1.2.11 is 6gb,

is this correct?

 

my ram is 4gb.

is that the culprit?

so 1.2.11 won't start with 4gb ram?

I think it should at least load the game's menue and allow "simple" missions to be started.

 

Anyway, you will not be able to fly most of the missions due to too little RAM.

 

Upgrade to 8 or better 12-16 GB RAM if you can. Going 6GB only could be a problem with the new EDGE etc... I would def. aim for 8 or more GB.

try a repair and see what gets fixed.

there was an issue with the update not installing the C++ software.

 

It is in ur Egale Dynamics folder. run them from there.
