Shibbyland Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hi All, I have recently installed the open beta (and of course the Tomcat). Unfortunately, I now experience a complete crash when attempting to quit to desktop. This occurs only in open beta and it makes no difference whether I quit to desktop from the main menu or from within a mission. I am unable to get out of DCS by using alt+tab or by using task manager to end task since clicking anywhere on screen pulls me back into a black screen (the not responding DCS). Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciate as the only solution I have so far is to restart my PC. Obviously I'd prefer not to do this every time I use DCS. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm having the same issue. Sometimes I can alt-tab and force DCS to close, sometimes I have to reboot. It just goes to a black screen when exiting DCS and hangs there. This just started with the most recent update featuring the debut of F-14 (which I purchased). Other than than this issue, I've had pretty much zero issues in all the previous open beta builds. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted March 14, 2019 ED Team Share Posted March 14, 2019 Is it creating any log files from the crash, can you include those and you dxdiag files?

pacastro Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Same here, when quitting the game it just goes into black screen. I'm able to ctrl-alt-del into task manager and kill DCS app which shows not responding. This is after the last beta update to 2.5.4.28461 Edited March 14, 2019 by pacastro added beta version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobius3590 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Same problem for me. Also the missions seem to take a lot longer to load and when ingame all I see is a black screen and the mission briefing for roughly 10 seconds. The game seems to freeze as I can't click on "Fly" or scroll through the briefing during that period. Didn't have These Kind of problems before.

Jowen G. Bruère-Dawson Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Same here. Happened to me 5-6 times. Unable to gather log crash however. Usually, I managed to kill DCS via the task manager. But last time I run DCS, when I hit the edit button, the crash was more important, i was unable to bring my task manager window up. Had to restart my PC. Please fix this. Thanks.

speed-of-heat Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 clearing FXO and metashaders from the saved games directory seems to have fixed it for me!

=Mac= Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 SOmetimes for me, DCS hangs when exiting. I have two monitors so I click on the right monitor which brings up the Windows bottom bar. I hover over DCS icon then click the red X. For me, that seems to work every time DCS hangs. The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...

speed-of-heat Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 so I thought that clearing out fxo and metashaders cleared the problem, nope, it reoccurs… this Cat is wonderful..
