Installation Failure

[Bonz]

I updated to the latest Beta version (404). I was unable to enter any of my single player missions from the Mission Editor (ME). I could enter ME, make changes to a mission and save them... then when I tried to play that mission, instead of taking me to the Role Selection screen, it takes me into the game in an observer role... the game is paused and I have to hit the PAUSE button on the keyboard to get it moving... then when I hit ESC to bring up the menu for Role Selection, that item, role selection, is not in the list. A similar behavior exists for multiplayer when I start the game on my personal server, except that when I hit the ESC button, the menu that pops up does include the Role Selection item and I’m able to play the game. I decided to reinstall the game to correct this behavior... So I uninstalled the game and all its components. Unfortunately, I was unable to install the game. the DCS Installer kept stalling after about 2 or 3 minutes into each download attempt. I had to enter SAFE MODE in windows 10 before I was able to install the game. The reinstall did not correct my original problem of not being able to enter a mission directly from ME.

Hi

 

please check your antivirus is not creating a problem during installation

 

can you attach the mission in question so I can try or is it every mission?

 

can you maybe do a quick video of what you are seeing

 

Thanks

My anti-virus is the same anti-virus I’ve had on this computer from the beginning. It has worked fine through many DCS Updates... Something in this update is different and prevents DCS Installer from working properly...
