Problems recent update 1.5.6.

Can't play missions, editor useless. Did repair with no help.

Rename your saved games folder, and restart the game, see if that helps.

 

If that solves the problem, then you can migrate stuff from your old saved games structure to the new one a few items at a time till you find the files that cause the issue. Just discard them, and you will save most of your settings.

Thanks, but didn't help.

Hi

 

we need to do a clean of your install please follow these instructions

 

 

go into your Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/bin folder.

 

There, hold Left Shift and right click and click "Open Command window here."

 

Then, type the following exactly as printed:

 

DCS_updater.exe cleanup

 

this will delete all non official files

 

then do a dcs repair

 

DCS_updater.exe repair

 

hope it helps

[bobd]

Thanks BIGNEWY, followed your instructions, both cleanup & repair ran successfully, but no help. Don't know if it's important, alpha runs fine. Bad stroke of luck, fresh install just a few weeks ago. :(

Have you made any modifications at all?

I would like to try and reproduce this myself

 

can you give me a step by step of what you do and what mission you try to use

 

also what antivirus are you using?

[bobd]

I haven't made any changes. The missions I have are very basic & never had a problem. I use Kaspersky, & it's never been an issue. How can I roll back the update? Also I don't know the exact numbers of last update to go back too. That's when problems started. If that doesn't work I'm looking at a reinstall. Thanks,

Kaspersky has been known to create issues for DCS it maybe worth a try following the support guide here to see if it helps

 

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/557/

 

Kaspersky Internet Security owners:

 

1. Go to Settings / Protection / Application control settings / Manage application

2. Find all executable files in the DCS World folder:

DCS World\Run.exe

DCS World\bin\DCS.exe

DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe

DCS World\bin\Launcher.exe

DCS World\bin\dcs_protect.exe

 

3. Right click on it and choose "Details and rules".

4. Select checkbox in exclusions.

 

Once done try running a repair again

 

also attach the mission I will take a look

Thank you for your efforts, but I give up. Doing a reinstall when I have time, I can still play OpenAlpha. Thanks again.
