davebert Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I bought my father in law FC3 recently to get him going with DCS and all was well. Then we both purchased quite a few jets during the sale and I activated all of mine and all is good. He seems to have got them all activated as he said he was playing around with them but when he went to start DCS after that, it won't start up. He also mentioned that during the install he left the room and when he came back the pc had rebooted itself which was odd but Win10 is known to reboot and install updates at the worst possible time. He ran the repair option on DCS and no go so he uninstalled DCS and reinstalled and tried again. It seemed to have worked but then when he installs the purchased jets and activates them and it finishes, DCS still won't open. It doesn't check for update and the next 2 progress bars are short and quick and it fails to run without any error messages. Win10 had some error message that said it had installed a generic Video Driver for his Nvidia GTX 980, so I assumed that was the problem and installed the latest driver with GeForce Experience through Team Viewer as I tried to help him. No go so we uninstalled and reinstalled again and same problem. Anybody ever run into this? Does it have something to do with the activations? Thanks, Dave

davebert Posted June 27, 2018 Author Posted June 27, 2018 Here is the latest log and it looks like the Viggen is the problem. So if I am right, how do I fix it? Is it one of those activation reg codes I looked at in the support area? I will be back in a couple of hours...

davebert Posted June 27, 2018 Author Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Well, thinking it was the Viggen, I deactivated and reactivated it and still have the same problem. I am checking for Windows updates and going to run the System File Checker next. I also noticed he never gets the DCS Login screen either when he starts the game/sim. Anybody have any other ideas? Thanks, Dave Edited June 27, 2018 by davebert
davebert Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Fixed it :thumbup: Got it running after numerous things and in the end it may have been the timing of the new beta released to stable. One issue with the mouse but that may be in the key assignments...We will be flying again. :) edit:Well it was working until he added in the purchased aircraft so back to square one. He opened up a support ticket. Edited June 29, 2018 by davebert
