kmw072671 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi, I just updated to 2.5.6 OB and now my DCS will not load? I tried a repair with the utility but did not work, it just sits on the "DCS World" screen and hangs, any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboJBT Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi, I had the same issue. From time to time I'm stuck on DCS screen. On your DCS folder try to start with file DCS.exe located : C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizzy Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Has someone got a solution to this as I can't get DCS to load and I have tried all the troubleshooting methods. Basically the screen hangs at the load process and will not launch the game. As stated sometimes it worked but has stopped loading completely now.

Mizzy Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I have located the problem and it's in the saved games folder. Not sure which specific folder it is yet. Anyway, make a copy of your DCS Open beta folder or just rename it with '-' or whatever to stop it loading. Start the game and you will have to redo your options and preferences. Then put your config file back from the renamed folder to the newly generated one. Also your missions folder, problem solved. I would like to know why this error occured in the first place so I shall wait until my support ticket has been answered as it needs to be sorted out by ED.

Baldrick33 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 In my case it was the ImagesShop folder, I found some advice here to try deleting it and it worked (and recreated the folder) AMD 5800X3D · MSI 4080 · Asus ROG Strix B550 Gaming · HP Reverb Pro · 1Tb M.2 NVMe, 32Gb Corsair Vengence 3600MHz DDR4 · Windows 11 · Thrustmaster TPR Pedals · VIRPIL T-50CM3 Base, Alpha Prime R.
