Black Screen with the new 1.5 update?

[VTB_Bingo]

I didn't have 1.2.16, so I downloaded the 1.5 version from the site. It's installed, but everytime I run the simulator, it shows a blackscreen (No sound) or anything. I waited for 30 mins and still shows a black screen.:mad:

Hey Viper, I didn't have it either. After the install copied from my other folders and installed the remaining files, I grabbed the C:\Users\[MyUserName]\Saved Games\DCS BetaBlahBlah\Configs\Input (folder) into the new folder so all of my settings would work on the first run pass. No issues here after that.

That seems to work (Kinda). I started up DCS, and it showed the startup screen, but went black afterwards.

 

Is this correct? Or is there suppose to be more files?

You're showing the Program Files\DCS World Open Beta. The new DIR should be Program Files\DCS World.

That's clearly gone wrong. There's no Bin folder for starters, let alone Data, Api, dxgui, fui, the lua folders etc...

 

I can't even say do a repair. I'm honestly not entirely sure how you're managing to load *something* up with a missing bin folder.

 

Personally, as that's the beta installer (as per the folder being Open Beta), I'd download the release version and start with that.

I took a picture of the wrong thing. I'm uploading a quick video

This is what it seems to be doing.

Obviously, have you updated your GFX drivers?

 

And, what are your specs?

[BIGNEWY]

you should have a lot more files, stuff is missing.

 

Do a fresh install

 

if you are still having issue attach your logs folder zipped and your autoupdate_log.txt

@Viper,

Got a friend with a similar issue. It's been a few days and I wondered if you had found any solution or not?

 

Cheer,
