[RESOLVED]DCS on steam doesn't run after update.

[Panle]

Hey guys, steam updated my DCS last week and since then it's not starting up. I've started .exe with admin rights, then it gave me this error: 0xc000001d

 

My specs are:

Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit

AMD A10-6800K CPU

8 GB RAM

Radeon HD7850 GPU

 

PS: Funny thing, DCS works perfectly on my Win 10 laptop. Same problem happened there but same solution won't work.

 

Thank you guys.

hi can you attach your whole logs folder zipped.

 

and have you done a integrity check with steam on dcs

[Panle]

I've done the check but no use.

 

Here are the files attached.

 

Thank you for replying!

Logs.rar

Try renaming your DCS folder in saved games

 

C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS

 

restart DCS and it will recreate the folder, redo your settings and if all is working you can move your input folder back from the old one so you do not have to redo your controls.

 

let me know how you get on

I removed the DCS folder from that place you said, but no luck. It's still doing the same thing.

[BIGNEWY]

did you have any user mods installed before updating?

[Panle]

I only have F-15 addon from steam, nothing else. No mods installed.

 

Tried reinstalling again but no luck with that either.

 

What's new with this update, funny it just stopped working like that.

[BIGNEWY]

only thing that has changed is the system requirements, but your system meets at least the minimum so shouldn't be that

 

Minimum system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i3; RAM: 8 GB; Free hard disk space: 60 GB; Video: 2 GB RAM card, DirectX11 - compatible; requires internet activation.

 

Recommended system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+; RAM: 16GB; Hard disk space: 60 GB; Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX780 / ATI R9 290 DirectX11 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

your logs that you have attached say DCS/1.2.16.43180

 

so you are not even getting far enough to launch, go for a fresh install if you have not already

[Panle]

Done that too, still no luck.

I will format the computer this evening, maybe that will work out because other games' performance dropped too.

 

I will post if it worked or not.

 

Thank you !

[BIGNEWY]

let us know how you get on

Please make sure you have ALL Microsoft Visual C Runtimes Installed, Updated Drivers, Updates Windows Components, and Make sure Anti Virus is not Blocking DCS.exe from running.

[Panle]

I found out the solution, I needed the AMD driver updated and when I did, it stopped working but I haven't realized. I updated Win7 to SP1 so that GPU drivers started working again. DCS thought I haven't installed any drivers that's why it gave such error.

 

Thanks for helping and I hope this will be useful for someone like me.

good to see you are up and running again.
