Flappie Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Hey Phil! This seems to be the root cause of your issue: 2021-02-15 03:40:37.172 ALERT Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./Scripts/Input\Data.lua"]:46: attempt to index local 'res' (a nil value) Here's the function, which is part of the game (unmodded): local function initialize(userConfigPath, sysConfigPath) userConfigPath_ = userConfigPath sysConfigPath_ = sysConfigPath sysPath_ = sysConfigPath .. 'Aircrafts/' local f, err = loadfile(userConfigPath_ .. disabledFilename_) if f then local ok, res = pcall(f) if ok then disabledDevices_ = res.devices --<--the error comes from ths line (46) for deviceName, disabled in pairs(disabledDevices_) do Input.setDeviceDisabled(deviceName, true) end Input.setPnPDisabled(res.pnp) else printLog('Unable to load disabled devices!', res) end end end From what I understand, this script opens the "C:\Users\phili\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input\disabled.lua" file, then tries to understand what's written inside it. For some reason, your DCS seems unable to read the file. I suggest you delete this file, then restart DCS. It should create a brand new file. Let us know how it goes.

Peter5on Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I had the same problem (stuck on starting screen) out of 10 tries to start DCS it started maybe 2 times, i had to open task manager and force it to close. As guys suggestion above, solution to this is to turn off fullscreen. After that DCS starts normally every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Rephil told me he got it fixed. If I recall correctly, he reinstalled the game. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter5on Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Reinstalling didn't helped me, maybe if i would reinstall windows something would change but im not going to check that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggy Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Also having an issue similar to these chaps... basically when i load DCS Openbeta it gets stuck on the initial loading screen at 100%. I have been running DCS perfectly well, even an hour ago! Restarted my PC and now this... I get this error message in the logs on startup (these are the last two lines): 2021-03-11 22:02:43.083 ALERT Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/MissionEditor.lua"]:86: invalid order function for sorting 2021-03-11 22:02:43.083 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:2 I checked this MissionEditor.lua and the function which flags the error, interestingly has comments above saying, '-- FIXME: remove it' anyway here is the full function which flags the error in MissionEditor.lua: -- FIXME: remove it local old_sort = table.sort table.sort = function(tbl, fun) if (type(tbl[1]) == 'string') and (fun == nil) then old_sort(tbl, function(op1, op2) return textutil.Utf8Compare(op1, op2) end) else old_sort(tbl, fun) end end line 86 being: 'old_sort(tbl, fun)' Tried running a repair and no joy, tried removing my folder from 'Saved Games', no joy. Any help much appreciated as i can't load DCS at all. Installing Stable now to test. UPDATE: Had the exact same error in Stable UPDATE: If i comment out: 'else old_sort(tbl, fun)' then i can load into the main menu but i'm not able to click on any options. I'm not surprised but at least i can get passed the error. Edited March 11, 2021 by Wiggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hi @Wiggy. You're having the 9+ USB devices bug. Try unplugging your devices, run DCS, then re-plug them all. More info here. ED is still investigating this issue. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggy Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Ah gotcha, very interesting. Will give that a whirl. Thanks Flappie @Flappie problem fixed, thanks. Warthog throttle seems to be the culprit. Edited March 12, 2021 by Wiggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernp Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) For some time, DCS would only load after restarting my computer (I usually keep my computer in sleep mode). After running DCS a couple of times, it would get stuck at the loading logo, (the first small DCS logo that appears after launching DCS) and I would have to reboot again. I tried all the suggestions I could find online, except reinstalling DCS. Then I found a fix: killing the TrackIR process in the task manager under the details tab, while DCS is still in the stuck mode. DCS resumes loading normally after that. I restart TrackIR app after DCS loads. I don't know why TrackIR is causing DCS to hang up, but killing TrackIR in task manager details is much quicker than rebooting my computer.

Flappie Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 This should not happen (I can start my TIR before or after DCS is started; it always works). Try a DCS cleanup and repair.

Rudel_chw Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, BMO said: as you can see i have following mods: * dot-visibity *A-4E *SRS *TACVIEW SRS & TACVIEW are not Mods, but external software so they rarely cause issues with DCS itself. Whenever I have a problem of this type, I disable my user Mods and then run a DCS Repair, just to ensure that I have a correct and standard DCS install. If the issue persists then you have found a true DCS bug to report, or you could have faulty hardware.
