Fail to start DCS/1.5.2.48726 (M2000c Update on 25/12/15)

[Live-Dimension]

Hello!

 

So I downloaded the latest update so I could fly the M2000c. However, it fails to start.

 

I've tried two repairs and a reboot, as well as renaming (removing) the game profile in saved games folder. No such luck!

 

The updater runs, and then hands it to DCS. It loads 60-62mb in the task manager and then just sits there. No hangs, no cpu usage, etc.

When does your game stops?

When starting or when loading the M-2000C?

[Live-Dimension]

When launching (ie, I don't even see the start screen and the log shows nothing to do with graphics). The M-2000C module isn't installed yet, only the update for it.

Similar for me, in steam version thus without M2KC ....

[Live-Dimension]

Does your log stop at the same place terence44?

 

It would be helpful if someone could paste a healthy log so that I can see where the program is failing.

[terence44]

Sorry,

Strangely, I not have file log.

[Live-Dimension]

The log files are located in

 

Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs\

 

Usually the Saved Games folder is in your profile folder (C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs\)

 

Weirdly, having done nothing at all DCS has suddenly decided to start working again.

[terence44]

Yes I have my files log, but no file log for today :(

Try to disable AV or similar secure soft.

That worked thank you!
