Speedrick Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Hello, When launching my DCS World Openbeta 2.5.6, in 2 out of 3 times, the program freezes up on the attached startup screen. Then, i'm able to exit the program via "ctrl-alt-del" going into the taskmanager to end the DCS program. Afterwards, when i select the repair function, it sometimes enables me to get in the DCS World afterwards. I already tried with my antivirus software switched of, no change.... Can somebody assist on this? Kind Regards, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower793 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Also - if you have been trialling planes from the sale uninstall the modules and then run a repair of the OB.

Reflected Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I had the same problem but now it's gone. I tried many things and I don't recall what exactly it was that solved it. Have you tried to disable game mode in Windows 10? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

LeCuvier Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I've experienced frequent freezes during program start with 2.6.6 Because the program took so long to start (just perception, I did not measure the time), I tended to look at my mail or open an Excel file e.a. and that tended to stop the program start for DCS World. I have therefore stopped messing with other programs while DCS World is loading, and since that time I have not seen any more freezes. PS: DCS World now takes about 1/2 minute to load and that doesn't seem excessive.
