ME Unresponsive after saving mission (1.5.8OB)

[Nealius]

After saving some missions, I attempt to exit the ME. Nothing happens. I attempt to exit again, and a popup claiming changes have not saved appears. It doesn't matter if I click Yes, No, or Cancel, the ME is still unresponsive. If I click on the icons on the left panel, the icons will higlight blue and remain highlighted, but none of the windows will appear at all. The only way for me to exit is to kill DCS.exe through Task Manager.

 

I have already repaired the 1.5.8OB TWICE. This happens without mods. This does not happen on the 1.5.7 Release.

 

Image for reference. You can see all of the icons on the left panel highlighted.

can you reproduce and then attach your dcs.log straight after.

 

it should show us some clues, possibly a GUI error

Log attached.

 

After my two repairs I reinstalled a texture mod and environment sound mod, but this problem appeared even on the clean install prior to installing mods, so the mods should not be affecting it.

My guess is a unofficial modification was left in during the update,

 

have you tried a cleanup? and then a repair

 

guide in my signature for the cleanup

[Nealius]

Looks like the cleanup found some leftovers. And it looks like I'll lose all my liveries :(

Cleanup didn't work. It seems like this issue only happens when I create/edit a KC130 in the ME. I wonder if there's some issue with the KC130?

Hi !

 

I have the same problem but on the release 1.5.8 ...

 

But I identified what caused this unresponsive state of the ME (at least for me): When I try to place a M2000-C

 

The bad thing is that I don't know how to resolve this problem, even when identified.

 

I tested quite all the other planes playable in the game and they do not induce this unresponse of the ME ...

[Dragonares76]

here is my log file if needed ...

Seems to be a problem with a livery. Do you have any non-standard M2KC liveries installed? Try it without them, if that is the case.

 

Otherwise, try a DCS Repair.

[Dragonares76]

I made a cleanup then repair

 

I'll test, I'll keep you in touch asap ;)

[Dragonares76]

OK

 

It works after Clean and Repair

 

One guy of my team asked me if i deleted the .zip of our liveries, and it may be the source of the problem ... Check it if you have such issue ;)

[Nealius]

This is still happening to me in 2.5. No mods. Cleanup and repair did not fix.

 

Interestingly I never had this problem in 2.2.
