spud3030 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) hiya fellas just got a new w8 pc DCS works great but everytime the updater runs it just crashes the whole pc. It kills windows and I have to turn off the power. I can still run DCS np but after the first updater crash the updater now says it's corrupted. I have uninstalled DCS and reinstalled to the same effect. I have to start DCS via the "run" exe and it's v1.2.12.35194. could I just grab a fresh updater? Thanks spud Edited December 18, 2014 by spud3030

Lange_666 Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Have the same problem, ran the updater and it just hung. Only way out was a forced reboot. Since then updater is corrupt.

Lange_666 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Euh...yes...switched to BitDefender after dumping Avast. Why? It isn't a problem now.

AtaliaA1 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Turn it off or set DCs up in the bitdefender log. This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

FlightControl Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Euh...yes...switched to BitDefender after dumping Avast. Why? It isn't a problem now. Ok. Bitdefender locks the updater. It is the antivirus part that causes this. Exclude the program files from DCS from the on access scanner, and the updater will work fine. You could for example exclude the directory <drive>:\Program Files\eagle dynamics within the antivirus settings. That will solve the antivirus from blocking and corrupting the DCS updater. At least, that worked for me :-) hope it helps, Sven [TABLE][sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]| Join MOOSE community on: DISCORD :thumbup: Website of the MOOSE LUA Framework. MOOSE framework Downloads.

Lange_666 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I don't have any problem with the updater besides that one time so i didn't think about BitDefender being the (possible) cause. BTW, i only have the free version of BitDefender, i don't see any option to add something in the log or exclude it from a scan, at least not that i can see. The updater isn't listed in the scan or log either (i only have two IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover files in quarantine, that's all).

FlightControl Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 Ha. You have the free version of bitdefender. It can be that this version doesn't conflict with the dcs updater. The purchased version of bitdefender does create the scenario you mentioned. Pc hanging and reset is the only option. After restart the updater is corrupt.
