Virtually a complete re-install from scratch and ...

[Kula66]

still crashes :(

 

The only thing I copied over was the HOTAS configs.

 

Deleted and re-installed from download - took a while. Renamed Saved Games folder, so it created a new one, copied over HOTAS config and created a new mission in the F-16. Hit start and bang, DCS exited before I could even get into the cockpit :(

 

Logs attached - well I would have, but apparently its an invalid format, so, here is the tail:

Hi

 

you can change the .log to .txt or zip the log and it will attach

 

thank you

[Kula66]

OK, thanks Bignewy ... would it be useful to you guys? I think this was the one ... I've now reverted to a backup of 2.5.5.

Thanks for the log the team will check it.

 

We hope to have a patch out this week and we can try again

 

thank you for your patience

[Kula66]

Cheers Bignewy - I know you guys will get there!

[Kula66]

For info, I managed a flight in the F-14 ok last night - night over the PG, very nice, but the F-16 crashes every time when I look down. I've deleted the plane and entire game and reinstalled numerous times - same thing.

 

Few of my existing scenarios work as most have triggers which seem to cause issues. Plus I get numerous odd crashes without any apparent reason. Haven't dared venture online with 2.5.6!

[BIGNEWY]

We will probably have a patch today if things go to plan, please let me know if you have problems still after the patch.

 

Thanks

I'm having this same issue. Except it's not when I look down, it's when I try to fly a free flight and it quits while loading. Log file has same errors about dx11backend and fonts bot loading. Did this ever get resolved. I've tried everything short of a reinstall

Hi Supernovali. Can you please open a new thread and attach the zip produced after the crash? (C:\Users\your_name\Saved Games\DCS\Logs)
