SkateZilla Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi. Having a problem after a complete Win10 reformat, DCS reinstall, DCS Updater reinstall, etc. Never had this problem, before the reformat and reinstall, all was working flawlessly. Whenever I try to launch DCS through the Updater (any of the options, VR On, VR Off, etc), I get an error "Important files are damaged: dcs_manifest.bin". I've tried deleting the file, doing a Clean and Repair (multiple times). Still get the same error. Oddly, if I just use the game DCS.exe shortcut, the game will launch with no problems. I also get this same error trying to launch the game through the VRKneeboard interface. Any ideas? Thanks! EDIT: Here's the log file I get when I try to launch the game. === Log opened UTC 2020-09-27 15:05:03 2020-09-27 15:05:03.270 ALERT SECURITYCONTROL: Failed to parse root_manifest! 2020-09-27 15:05:03.270 WARNING SECURITYCONTROL: IC fail: dcs_manifest.bin 2020-09-27 15:05:03.271 INFO DCS: Command line: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe" 2020-09-27 15:05:03.271 INFO DCS: DCS/2.5.6.55363 (x86_64; Windows NT 10.0.18362) 2020-09-27 15:05:03.271 INFO DCS: DCS revision: 175362 2020-09-27 15:05:03.271 INFO DCS: Renderer revision: 20900 2020-09-27 15:05:03.271 INFO DCS: Terrain revision: 20771 2020-09-27 15:05:03.271 INFO DCS: CPU cores: 6, threads: 12, System RAM: 32710 MB, Pagefile: 4864 MB === Log closed.

YSIAD_RIP Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Reason for: Launching DCS world in 10 Seconds? Hi Skate Zilla, From a programming perspective, I wanted to know if there is a reason for the 10 Second Delay when you LAUNCH Dcs World using the DCS Updater GUI Utility? I am perfectly happy, waiting 10 seconds. :pilotfly: DCS Updater / Launcher Gui Utility is outstanding! Cheers.

I am perfectly happy, waiting 10 seconds. :pilotfly: DCS Updater / Launcher Gui Utility is outstanding! Cheers. Launching Multiple Apps at the same time as dcs sometimes causes problems on systems with less memory, also, so apps need to be launcjed and loaded before the dcs process starts to be detected by DCS.

Cherry3z Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) This is a User Permissions or Virus Scan Conflict. Alright, I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. I've shut down any virus protection, and tried running DCS Updater as Administrator (not sure that's how to solve User Permissions, but seemed a good place to start), and still the same problem. I've also gone into Properties, Security and checked User Permissions for both your program, and DCS itself. In both cases, I've verified either my user has full permission, or if not.....set it to full permission to test. Still, no dice. I realize this is outside the scope of being an issue with your program, but might you have some ideas I could try to make this work properly? Appreciate it.

Recently, I started using the handy "External Application" and "Application Settings" to Launch External Apps with DCS. TrackIR was painless. I noticed DCSFlightPanels would launch, but when I would try to load a DCSFlightPanels Profile for a DCS plane, I would get an error: "The system cannot find the file specified." --- DCSFlightpanels_error_log --- System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception The system cannot find the file specified at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at DCSFlightpanels.MainWindow.RestartWithProfile(String bindingsFile) SOLUTION: All I had to do was edit the Environment Variable for my local account and add the Path of the DCSFlightPanels Executable to the PATH.

mmcintosh Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 How to get SteamVR to be recognized? I love the updater! So nice to be able to update without running the sim. I have a PiMax 5K+ and of course DCS uses SteamVR but I don't see a way to access it from your UI? The location for SteamVR is C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Steam But I cannot browse to that folder from your UI. As a software dev myself with over 25 years experience I really appreciate the work you put into the Updater!

daddio007 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Speaking of Steam VR API, I sent you a PM which you can ignore as I started using the updater and finally FINALLY got Oculus to stop loading with DCS! I'd still like to know what switches you throw to default it to the Steam VR API but so long as Oculus does not run unless I tell it to I am happy! Thanks for this SkateZilla!

healerf18 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Apologies if this has been asked before, but I'm trying to host DCS on a Win Server 2016 cloud based platform. The browser is Internet Explorer. The updater utility appears to be properly configured, is connected to the Internet and DCS Update servers, but all I get is a blank screen when I launch the local Web GUI. Any thoughts? Thank you!
