Kenan Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ever since I downloaded Beta 1.5., I can't get into the game i.e. inside the cockpit view. I tried deleting the Saved Games folder, updating the drivers, reducing graphics settings (shadows) but whatever I tried, I can't get into the game. The loading bar stops at either 80% or 100% (if I set everything to LOW and OFF). The best I get is -sometimes- when the loading bar is at 100% I can hear the sound of engines running in the background and that's as far as my 1.5. experience goes. Any suggestions? I have a quad core Inter Processor @3.2 ghz,XFX R9 380 2GB, 16 GB of Ram, running under Windows 7. Oh, and I also can't login in either beta or standard DCS World. In Beta I get either "No Internet Connection" or "Wrong username/password" messages..and my username does NOT contain any nonstandard characters (same goes for my password made of letters and numbers only). So what do I do? Do I wait for an update and hope it fixes the issues I'm having? It's really drustrating not being able to see the game at all..It's a real bummer..

dabomb Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Have you updated your beta since it first came out? I know there's been one update to it that fixed the "special characters in usernames" issue and I believe there may have another small update too (?) but don't quote me on that.

Pinefang Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hard to say but if it was me I would do an update.exe repair on the 1.5 install to see if that would help. I would first do it on my original DCS install and after that I would do it on the 1.5 install. Good luck Let us know if that works out for you.

Kenan Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Tried repair and update thing - didn't do the trick. I have already reinstalled DCS World and DCS World Beta (clean) so that goes out the window as well..

FubarBundy Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Have you checked the install in the mods manager or failing that, have you tried refreshing the activations. I think its done by starting the game and keeping ctrl pressed as it loads up. If nothing else you can see if the activations are active. Worth looking at I guess.

Kenan Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 The only module I have on my Beta is FC3 and although it was already active, I re-activated it again. This however, didn't resolve anything. I even tried disabling my anti-malware/anti-virus software but still nothing... I'm afriad these are one of those "sit tight and hope it fixes itself thru some update" type of situations..

AtaliaA1 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 When this error happened in earlier ver. of the Sim it was due to the Graphics API. controlled by the Redistributed files from Microsoft. I have answered this one in other posts but will do it here also. Most users had to remove the old ver. and reinstall them before they got positive results. There are redistributed packages for 2005,2008,2010,2012and14. all need to be added/reinstalled. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003 This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

Kenan Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Re-installed all Visual Studios but unfortunately, it didn't do the trick.

Alexander Seil Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If the game is not responding, doesn't it mean it's stuck in a loop somewhere? If it were just a missing library, it should crash outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenan Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 When set at High Settings, it usually hangs around 80% loading bar. When all set to Low or Off, it hangs at 100% loading and sometimes (rare though) I can hear engine running in the background. My hardware specs meet/exceed the game's requirements so it seems to be a software-related problem.

Kenan Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 So I downloaded the update and finally got to see the cockpit. I was happy to be able to finally play the game when I realize that was it: a frozen picture of cockpit view with sound running in the background. Very dissapointed. Not sure what to do anymore. Actually, on the second attempt cockpit moved to ONE frame before being frozen..as if the video card is an issue but it shouldn't be. (XFX R9 380 and freshly installed latest stable drivers)... Meh..

Kenan Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Ok. , on my third attempt, I managed to actually fly for a few seconds before the game froze. All LOW and DISABLED shadows.

Stacker Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Got any devices attached to your rig? Try pulling them all out (including your hotas/joystick) and see if you can get in game. Also, check your windows logs in the event viewer (application & system) - any errors in that? i7-4790K@4.7GHz : EVGA 1070 SC : 16GB Corsair Vengence Pro : 2xEVO 840 SSD : EVGA 850W PSU : CORSAIR H100i Cooler : ASUS Z97-AR MB : CORSAIR OBSIDIAN 750D FULL TOWER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenan Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 After a long testing/trial and error session, I have managed to play the game...but only if I disable the following: Textures set to LOW Shadows and Terrain Shadows to OFF Water to LOW G-Breath Audio Disabled (not sure but this one may actually causing crashes as well) Model Visibility to OFF All other settings are set to HIGH and the game runs fine. If I enable or up anyone of the settings listed above, game freezes few seconds into the mission. Well, at least I can play it! The depht of field thing looks pretty ugly in my opinion (and it uses up FPS). The missile trail and the way missile flies towards the target feels so real..I LOVE IT! :) The AI seems to be tweaked. It's no longer suiciadal shooting missiles at crazy G-Turns...which is also nice.

mdeezl Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm having the same symptoms. Got a black screen when first loading, but injected 15.5 AMD drivers as another thread suggested and that got me to the main screen at least. From there it locked up when trying to load a mission, either right when bar reaches 100% or after cockpit loads and the game prompts you to press FLY. Read this thread and switched to all low setting and game loaded just fine, was able to fly without any issues. Haven't tested specific setting but I'd guess Kenan's observations are accurate. My specs: Windows 7 i5 2500K 8GB RAM AMD R9 380 Seems like everyone with similar issues are running AMD cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I had the same problem at the first day of 1.5, but after I changed the graphics to low it worked. I put them back to high/ultra and it keeps working. Don't know what was wrong there :dunno: I'm also running AMD here. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Kenan Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I would like to note (discovered this just yesterday as I fly mostly russian birds) that the settings "fix" I applied to the game (lowering textures and disabling shadows) apparently does not work when trying to fly F-15 (haven't tried the A-10A). The game freezes at 80% loading bar. I don't have this problem when trying to fly Flanker, Mig or Su-25 (at reduced system settings of course).

It might help if we are actually experiencing the same problem. Other than the settings I describe, it seems you can pretty much set whatever you want. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=150569 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Kenan, I recently got hold of an XFX R9 380 4gb card and straight away i started to get the same problem as you, so i spent a good part of the afternoon trawling through the various .dlls available on this site https://mega.nz/#F!8tlAhDyQ!2AkAQukJKAYuIWEzDTGtFA!l4FjhA7R It looks like 14.6 beta.zip set solves the problems completely, you should definitely give them a try. edit: attached the files directly here, just extract and drop the two .dlls into your bin folder of DCS 1.5.1 Edited November 15, 2015 by Mustang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
