SkateZilla Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 After installing the update, the game will not start; the slash screen doesn't even briefly appear. Are you clicking the shortcut, or stating it doesnt start after the update process. should be using dcs.exe to paunch game. dcs_updater usually launches dcs exe process if no update is availible.

Sn8ke Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Are you clicking the shortcut, or stating it doesnt start after the update process. should be using dcs.exe to paunch game. dcs_updater usually launches dcs exe process if no update is availible. First the shortcut, then the DCS_Updater.exe in the bin folder. Neither worked. Also, it didn't start after the update process.

Sn8ke Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Has anyone else reported or replicated the problem? I suspect an important file; DLL it otherwise, may have been inadvertently deleted as the update installed Asus ROG Maximus X Apex//Core I7 8700K @ 5.3Ghz //32GB DDR4 RAM//Asus 3090 RTX//4K monitor w/ TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn8ke Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Courtesy of blackbox8888: Had the same issue after the update to 1.5.3. The log file contained the following error: DCS: Error running Scripts/Database/db_main.lua: [string "Scripts/Database/scripts/utils.lua"]:31: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil) I fixed the issue by deleting the "aircraft" and "tech" folder inside "Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods" and running a repair (there's a thread in the forums on how to do this in case you don't know yet).

mikewmac Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 For me 1.5.3 opens to the first UI screen, but nothing works from there, not even EXIT. I have to use Task Manager to end it. I tried to start it with Run.exe with the same result. I've tried to repair it several times, but no joy with that either. :( Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted February 18, 2016 ED Team Share Posted February 18, 2016 guys if you have logs please attach them. things to try make sure dcs is running as admin try a repair ( if you are using any public mods remove them) backup / rename C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder restart the sim and allow it to create a fresh folder ( you can move your input folder back across if it works ) Forum rules - DCS Crashing?
