2.5 beta fresh install

[BSS_Vidar]

When it first booted up, it came on in a reduced window. I went into settings to change it to full screen, now none of the icons in the main boot up page are clickable. I can't get into settings, or go into Module Manager. The only way I can shut down 2.5 now is to Ctrl/Alt/Delete into Task Manager to shut it down.

 

 

Any way to fix this?

I went back in and re-installed 1.5, and 2.1 and let them update. Now I'm locked out of both versions in the same manner. It will not auto initiate the update to 2.5 via 1.5.

 

 

Why has DCS boot page for all versions now locked up for me?

Here's what I've done... Uninstalled all DCS, searched my HDs for any old DCS residual folders and deleted everything. Something in those old files may be causing this.

I am now doing a straight to DCS 2.5 download from the DCS website. Not updating through 1.5.

 

 

Hope this works, or I'm gonna reinstall Win10 to ensure all olf files are gone.

Be sure to set the resolution to the native res for the monitor, don't just check full screen.

 

I read in another thread that the icons do not align with the clickable locations unless the resolutions match...

OK thanks...

 

 

After I reinstall, if this happens again. (since the settings icon may not be clickable) how to I set the native resolution files?

 

 

My recommended settings for my monitor is 3840 x 2160.

That was the problem! After a full fresh install of 2.5, I made sure the windows default res recommendation was set in-game. Then I selected full screen.

 

 

THANX!

Glad it worked out!
