Top Jockey Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I believe this is a bug: After installing the Tomcat and flying it, almost everytime I get out of the sim to the desktop - my PC freezes with a black screen. Ctrl Alt Del is of no avail and I have to turn-off the PC at the power button.

Top Jockey Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 I have the same problem! I've just remembered: click in the news link at the sim's "desktop" and it will come out of the sim to your Windows automatically while opening a web page. There one can end DCS, with the windows task manager... :thumbup: Jets Helis Maps FC 3 JA 37 Ka-50 Caucasus F-14 A/B MiG-23 Mi-8 MTV2 Nevada F-16 C MiG-29 F/A-18 C Mirage III E MiG-21 bis Mirage 2000 C i7-4790 K , 16 GB DDR3 , GTX 1660 Ti 6GB , Samsung 860 QVO 1TB
Jarlerus Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I have this as well. If I exit quickly after starting, it exits as normal though. Only indication I could notice is that it works normal if I exit before the menu music ends (the music only plays once, btw, and then it stops).

saburo_cz Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 The same for me, nearly every exit from DCS W to Win ends with black screen.

Nealius Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Same here, though CtrlAltDel and ending the process works for me. DCS log file just says "enter to state: 3" at the end whenever this happens.

Top Jockey Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Deleting metashaders and the fxo folder solved this for me. Can I delete those folders at will (without any adverse consequence) ?

FSKRipper Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Can I delete those folders at will (without any adverse consequence) ? If you take the ones under C:\User\yourname\saved games\dcs yes.

They will be rebuild during your next start (for that reason loading maps will take longer next time) Ok thank you. So I imagine that with the new rebuilt folders, the sim wouldn't freeze on exit again ?

FSKRipper Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 At least not in my case. If it isn't working for you I suppose you have to wait for the next open Beta update.

Top Jockey Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Well, deleting those folders didn't work for me, it kept freezing when on exit to Windows. Back to post #3 solution!

Sonoda Umi Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 The same problem here+1 Actually, it occurs when the Theme music ends. I have a little more information about that - the theme music cannot loop, when it ends, the game goes freezing if I exit the game or start a new mission. PS: you guys should tweak the music volume a little more.
Shepherd Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I notice i get black screen when i use the UI to adjust controls for F14 and then exit. I have to Alt/Ctrl/Del to get out as well.

HereThen Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Ctrl Alt Del is of no avail and I have to turn-off the PC at the power button. Not sure about your Windows 7 but for Windows 10 users, after pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del you could click "sign out". Saves your PC from shutting it down by the power button.

firmek Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Same. Black screen on exit. Though I'm not sure if it's F-14 issue. It happens even without starting any mission or even loading a mission editor. Just opening and closing DCS is enough to get the application (and occasionally PC) stuck. I deleted a complete Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder letting DCS to create a fresh one. EDIT: Switching "MainMenuIn" and "MainMenuLoop" files in Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\EditorMusic folder seems to solve both menu music playing once and black screen at exit problems.

mwlue Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 I dont think this is F-14 problem, it is more like a DCS general behavior. As I'm facing this before I install AV-8B and now F-14.
