Hey guys,

 

Crashing again, but this time only when I try to load the Persian Gulf map (instant action, quick mission, multiplayer & mission editor). I'm not getting a crash log generated, the game simply freezes.

 

I though this might have to do with my graphics driver, or the files being corrupted. So far I have installed the most up to date nvidia driver, reverted back to an older (but stable) driver, reinstalled the Persian Gulf map, tried a cleanup/repair and also renamed the open beta folder under my saved games file in windows. I tried launching the game at low setting as well as medium/high, same results. I can load Caucus just fine.

 

I have attached a picture of the loading screen where I am freezing, my DxDiag and my log file

 

Thank you!

I was able to fix this on my own

 

After studying the .log file it appeared that the game was trying to load the PG terrain and failing. I still have no idea why, but hopefully this is helpful to the devs/support team/moderators

 

My steps to resolve:

  • Deleted c:/programfiles/eagledynamics/mods/terrains/persiangulf/
  • Ran DCS Open Beta Repair to re-download the PG Terrain Files
  • Right clicked on the Eagle Dynamics Folder in C: Program Files --> Security Tab --> Added all users to security list --> gave full admin access to all windows users

 

This is a bit odd as a fix, since I am a full admin on my PC (only one account) and always run DCS as administrator to be safe.

 

Thank you
