[RESOLVED]Blackscreen on startup

[Sneeki]

This occured after the latest update (DCS 2.5.6.49798 Open Beta)27/05/2020. upon finishing the update i got prompted that there were extra files from an earlier, unfiished update. I assumed this was a littel bug as i updated yesterday without problems. I choose to deleted the files thinking all should be good. I then got a popup with information along the lines of .bin file is damaged, run a repair to fix it. I ran the rapair...

 

The game loads up and logs on normally but then switches to a black screen prior to the loading screen apearing. The "dcs" text file in the logs folder (attached) says something about missing voice chat files. There is no separate crash file as the game never crashes.

 

I have tried doing a repair with no effect. I have tried deleting the folder the files where suposed to be inn ( missionEditor file) , also with no effect.

 

Any help is greatly appriciated as usual, Thanks

 

could not attach the txt file for some reason so im adding some of it here..

I got the bright idea of just rolling back to the previous update and doing todays update again. This fixed the problem..

I'm going to leave the post in case anyone else gets the same issue.

Thanks for letting us know.

I have the same problem. Since yesterday's patch, when I start DCS I get a black window and nothing more happens.

 

Gonna try to revert back to stable, then switch back again to latest open beta release, see if that change something

[Deadpoetic6]
