Latest 2.5.01508 update killed DCS

[DaveRindner]

Now nothing works. When it comes to Fly after starting mission or instant action, pressing FLY freezes DCS. On all modules!

[speedbird5]

Do you have any mods installed. Try uninstalling any mods. I had the same problem until I uninstalled the mods.

[DaveRindner]

No. Stock clean install 2.5 . Was working then came this latest 2.5.015085 and it all went caput! I did repair. No change. This update threw everything over the cliff. No doubt ED is working on it.

I did gt KA-50 to fly in Free Flight: Nevada. But everything else is frozen.

[muehlema]

I had three crashes yesterday after the patch. Vanilla install does crash as much as if I move my mods back. This release is pretty unstable in VR.

 

Cockpit, when it loads, loads extremly slow. Mission take felt 5min to start.

[BIGNEWY]

Long load times are due to first load of shaders, and current memory and optimisations issues.

 

ED is currently working on a hotfix for 2.5.015085 to address the strange issues and crashes being seen by some users.

 

When I have more news I will pass it on.

 

Thanks

Same here. Pressing FLY freezes DCS with the Mi-8.

[xXBoofleXx]

Same, can't play the game since the update :( I'll just have to wait for a fix, or rollback the update somehow I guess. Never had a crash in DCS like this before, so that's a pretty good track record, I'm sure they are on it.

I have problems with FC3 after the update:

1. on every startup, I get asked for a key for the F-15C module, when I ignore it says F-15C will be deactivated but I then can still enter the F-15C in-game

2. but the F-15 and Su-33 are unusable, F-15 goes to 86% throttle and stays there, can't steer, snapviews aren't like before, stick is fully deflected right and stays there, brakes axes don't work. When I check in 'adjust controls' all switches and axes (stick, throttle, brakes) work as intended.

3. Su-27 may be working better but crashes after a few seconds. Su-33 and 27 are now askew on the ground or the carrier, turned between 30-90° to the left

4. Other modules (A-10, Ka-50, Huey) work normally for me

5. mods or no mods, repair, clean, no difference

[DaveRindner]

So I did reinstall. So things work , many don't

SU-25T appears to work. But if I fly 25T in Georgia, Free Flight. Then free flight again , in NTTR, DCS asks me to authorize NTTR? Go figure.

KA-50 appears to work.

FC3 does not work

A-10C appears OK, for now.

F-5E is completely dead. DCS freezes as soon FLY is pressed. In InstantAction/TakeOff in Georgia, sim starts, but a/c is dead with all warning lights lit. AKA Xmas tree. The barrometric altimeter reads 98570 feet.

Mig-21Bis is a freeze, I can hear the engine, but DCS is otherwise frozen.

 

I still love DCS, and remind myself that it is a beta. Like a cistertian monk. With a flaggelum whip. "Its a beta" SNAP!, "Its a beta" SNAPP!

You might try renaming your saved games install Dave. If it runs better, just slowly add back in the original files until you can put your finger on the culprit, then give that a good flagellating instead ;)

[DaveRindner]

Instant Action missions crash or don't work correctly.

[ams999]

Problem with the Fw190:

Since the update to 2.5.0.15085 the gear switch of the Fw190 is at the 'ein' position, so as soon as electricity is switched on, the gear retracts on the ground.

Easy enough when doing the cold start (just press 'aus' first) but the instant action take-off mission is unplayable this way.

From cold start, I can't start the engine anymore; doing the same procedure as before the update, the engine splutters but doesn't run - has the startup procedure been changed?

Thanks!

Great news on the hotfix, I think long load times on multiplayer servers are also due to unit object synchronization too (im pretty sure of it)

2.5.0.15184.338 seems to have been pushed to open beta

Latest update fixed most of my issues, thank you very much ED!

 

The only thing still happening was the key request for the F-15C module at program start - I have now actively disabled the F-15C in my module manager which has also fixed that - I can still use the F-15C in game as it is FC3

A-10C, MI-8 after hotfix work. Mig-21 is still freezing after I click to fly. I did fix the DCS, clean it up. I have reinstalled the Mig-21 but the problem still exists.

can you try the mig again, then attach your dcs.log

 

if you like open a new post and we can focus on it.
