since new update my DCS is bricked

[gooey_stewie11]

Hi everyone. since last 2 days. I have been having issues with DCS.

for some reason I ran DCS and it started its self updater. I then had to separate download boxes appear, one said updating myself, the other was frozen, and it hangs and windows tells me after 20 minutes its not responding. and it bricks my PC. I restart, and DCS has now gone completely broken meaning wont run says dcs.exe doesnt exist etc. so I re install an older version after removing everything. that runs fine. I then run DCS update and it starts all over again.

When the autoupdater detects that a new update is available, it should ask you if you want to install it. If you click "yes", it starts and two small windows appear: one says something like "updating dcs" and the other should show a progress bar together with the amount of data that is being downloaded. In case of 1.2.15 it can - depending on the number of DCS modules installed - be even in the range of 1-2 GB.

 

So this process can take a while.

 

What is your exact issue now - you do not see that window with the progress bar? I suggest to let it run as long as your patience lasts - maybe up to an hour or two. Or however it lasts until you get that "not responding" error (btw, you should be able to click "wait longer" or something similar there).

 

Then go to the DCS installadion directory and find the file "autoupdater_log.txt" there. Post it here and we might find out what the autoupdater is really doing.

I've been having the same problem

Is there any fix? :(

attach any logs you may have and your autoupdate.log

 

you will find the logs folder in C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS and the autoupdate.log in the dcs directory
