DCS hangs on second start

[gofrm76]

Hi,

 

I'm having problems with loading into DCS a second time.

 

Steps that lead to the problem:

 

1. boot my system.

2. start DCS / wait for the main screen.

3. exit DCS immediately again (because I forgot to start TrackIR for example).

4. back on the desktop I start DCS again.

 

Now, the initial loading screens appear, so far so good.

But by the time when normally the screen with the blue progress-bar would appear, nothing happens.

After a couple of seconds, I can hear the background music that normally plays on the main screen but the screen stays black.

 

The only thing I can do now is killing the DCS process and reboot my system.

After reboot, DCS would start again.

 

My first guess was that after exiting DCS the first time, there is still some DCS process running, that does not terminate correctly and prevents DCS from start again but I can't find any process that seems to be related to DCS.

 

I am using the latest open beta. The problem exists at least since two or three updates.

 

Any ideas?

 

regards

Christian

Hi

 

check antivirus would be my first stop, but please attach your dcs log we may see more clues.

 

Thank you
