Updater Crash/Failure?

[Bagpipe]

Please see attached updater log showing failed update due to "ed_sound.dll"

 

I cannot delete the file manually after closing all programs as it insists it is in use with another program?

 

Please advise as soon as you can

 

 

Thank you

Please note, i came about this after i loaded DCS this evening and attempted to play the dawn raiders Walleye mission which crashed multiple times on loading, having run a repair i noticed i had not updated so that is when i tried and failed as above.

 

I have since repaired etc. and reloaded dcs only for it to crash when trying to load the huey in the ME. I get the feeling it is going to keep crashing until i get this fixed which is worrying

And this just happened when i successfully loaded into PG through ME in a huey, exited mission, loaded up a SAM template mission and the game crashed before i attempted to run the mission

Hi

 

looks like you are getting some access denied on some files,

 

what antivirus are you using?

[Bagpipe]

Malwarebytes, but haven't had an issue before? I will try to turn it off and see if it updates

 

EDIT: will run a full scan of system first

We have seen users having issues with malwarebytes, adding the dcs install folder to the ignore list may help.

Just ran updater with malwarebytes disabled and got the same instance. I haven't had a problem before, strange that it would start out of the blue?

A reboot can help sometimes, but it sounds like something is denying DCS access to those files.

I have tried adding exclusion, disabling AV altogether, turned off firewall but still nothing. DCS is totally unstable now even after repair as it seems to crash with no trigger that can be pinpointed :huh:

Well...after 42 minutes of messing around, i managed to download an "Unlocker" app which although told me the file was not locked, managed to delete it during a reboot where i could not. Ran updater and repair and we seem to be in business again, i will let you know if i have any more crashing issues.

 

Thanks for your support Newy

Hey glad you have a solution, very unusual, if you see it again it maybe worth contacting support directly they will most likely want to see you autoupdate_log.txt dcs.log and a task.list to investigate it further.

 

Hopefully you wont need to.

 

Thanks
