DCS 1.5 start up help please?

[gazmonalpha]

Hi all,

 

I am having some real major problems with starting DCS 1.5 since Thursday of last week , i know i have another thread on here regarding this and really apologies but thought i needed to try and get some help again?

 

I cannot start 1.5 due to errors below so i uninstalled and rebooted

 

I reinstalled 1.5 last night, all installed and run up first time , today i have turned on my computer and DCS will not start , i keep getting errors below regarding modified files

 

DCS.exe has been modified it may be damaged or infected by a virus please scan your computer and reinstall

 

I removed `run as administrator` and received the following error next:

 

Cockpit A10c.dll has been modified -----same quote as above---------

 

I have done a repair and nothing changes!!

 

I have updated my nvidia graphis drivers and i am only running win defender

 

I have removed the saved games folder as info states and still have the cockpita10.dll error

 

Reinstalling is having no effect

 

Please anyone could try to give me some ideas

 

I have attached logs and autoupdate files

 

thanks

Disable any Virus Scanners... sounds like they are being modified by Virus Scan.

 

That or your harddisk is corrupting them.

[gazmonalpha]

Hello gazmonalpha,

 

Just my 2 cents here, as your problem might be related.

 

Some time ago some .dll files / libraries from another flight sim (SF2), also went missing without any previous warning, or input from me.

Turns out it was caused by an Avast antivirus auto-update, it happened as well to other forum members of that sim.

 

The point is: Avast not only "quarantined" those files, it deleted them - as I could not find them anymore on disk.

So I was forced to reinstall everything again from zero and put the important sim files / folders on my anti-virus "exclusion list", so it wouldn't happen again.

 

Good luck.

thanks for your info, problem with my issue is that errors says they have been modified??

 

i only use windows defender, and up to the 20th jan everything has worked great since then had major start problems

 

I have added all the error files to exclusion list

 

is there a way to revert to previous 1.5 version before the midweek update??

 

maybe thats the problem

 

Or maybe i just wasted my money in the long run!!!!! cos it just dont want to work now

So do you think the problem was caused by the last DCS World version update ?

That's a possibility, I don't know.

 

I've changed from version 1.2 to 1.5 only a few days ago, and so I didn't install the midweek update yet - as the previous 1.5 version is working fine for me.

 

Sounds you should reinstall the sim again, tweak with windows defender previously to minimise the possibility of conflicts; etc.

 

If your hardware is ok, and you were running fine before, I believe it will run ok again after the reinstall.

[gazmonalpha]

yes fair point but this will be my 4th install

 

i just think its something here on my system it doesnt like

My bad - didn't notice you already reinstalled several times.

 

In that case you better wait for ED support members (testers/developers/modders/etc) leave their advice.

 

You can try searching, in forum threads like this for some of them, and send a PM asking for their help on this thread to see your logs.

[gazmonalpha]

Could you give me some forum ed members I could pm please

Sorry, I shoulda been more clear.

 

Disable AV and run repair to restore any missing or corrupted files.

just out of interest have u looked at my attached Logs?

 

whats the chance i really do have a virus from dcs downloads?

 

what is `asyncnet.dll`? what is `cockpit_a10c.dll`?? what do they relate to in game??

 

can u see anything from my log files...can anyone??

 

something within my system is giving dcs 1.5 grief.. but i just dont know what??

 

It doesnt go from working perfectly to non resposive..??

Bump...

 

I have removed FC3 Module and the games seems ok??

 

Taken 3 reinstalls for this to settle down and the removal of FC3

 

This was the last module i added to dcs world

 

I originally purcahased F15-C as a single module then added FC3!!

 

Also not login in?

 

Why would FC3 be giving me problems??

 

any thoughts

Edited January 25, 2016 by gazmonalpha

[Coug4r]

There's threads about the unable to login issue. Seen that multiple times too, just try it.. if it fails exit the game restart DCS and try again. It'll log in at some point, at least for me it did. Make sure nothing is blocking DCS.

 

Maybe you shouldn't install both the F-15 and FC3 but just FC3.

[gazmonalpha]

Hi

 

I can login what I was trying to say was I was wondering by actually logging in was this part of my original problem

 

I was only installing fc3 as f15c is included with this module

 

What I've found is now if I only install f15 the game is ok

 

Just a shame it seems fc3 might be an issue for me??

Well, stick to the F-15 then if that works. ED will surely read this thread and check your logs to see what could be the issue.

cockpit_a10c.dll is the DLL that contains the A-10C systems etc.

 

not sure what async net is exactly

 

 

Im saying, a Virus scanner will sometimes place DLLs in quarauntine or attempt to "clean" them ecause the software thinks its a virus. Thus leaving behind a corrupt version.

Happened to me today as well. I have no antivirus and I'm pretty sure that I don't have viruses(trust me :music_whistling:). Last modification date for this file (dcs.exe in my case) is the same as last update - June 24, and I'm sure I've played since then and it was ok. In file properties I've noticed that it has signature verification problems. The only possible explanation was that they signed new dcs.exe file with some new certificate or my certificate become out of date. In windows update I've noticed that I have 14 pending updates. I've installed those, rebooted and everything worked. Check if you have pending updates in Windows Update and install them.
