mrmat01 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 When I'm in the mission editor & I open the MISC then encyclopedia It crashes. It just goes to a black screen & nothing happens. I can not get anything to respond I have to CTRL ALT TAB & go to the task manager & end task to shut DCS. When I'm in the task manager my Physical memory use for DCS is through the roof at 95% & 8000mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted July 13, 2020 ED Team Share Posted July 13, 2020 I suspect it is related to one of your unofficial mods might be worth removing all unofficial mods and doing a cleanup and repair. or verify for steam users. then testing again thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

mrmat01 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I suspect it is related to one of your unofficial mods might be worth removing all unofficial mods and doing a cleanup and repair. or verify for steam users. then testing again thanks Hi Do you suspect or are you sure? The very few mods that I am using are well tested & have not posed an issue previously. I also red a post that using the DCS repairer may delete the contents of my hard drive. So you would understand my reservationson not wanting to run a repair. Plus all of the other issues it may cause like control binding & other settings.

You can copy your Mod folder to the desktop as a backup. Then eliminate one by one the Mods in Aircraft and Tech that may be suspect. That is how I determined the most likely culprit. PS...I did a repair prior to trying this, with no ill effects.

I don't like running the repair as it can create more issues than you had before you did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I don't like installing mods as it can create more issues than you had before you did it. Fixed that for you. :thumbup: This is plain and simple: 1/ You install the game. It works fine. 2/ You install unofficial mods. The game still works, yay! 3/ After some DCS updates, your game is broken. 4/ Do a cleanup (it removes any file unknown to the game). 5/ Do a repair (it replaces any unofficial file by its official counterpart). This leads you to 1/. Same player, shoot again. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 ... I don't like running the repair as it can create more issues than you had before you did it. That’s simply not true ... just because one single dude was clever enough as to define the root folder of his disk as the location for the Updater’s temporary files, it does not mean that the Repair can "delete the contents of your drive". Good luck fixing your DCS without using this tool.

mrmat01 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Take it easy mate. It is fixed with out running the repair. By removing the mod that was stuffing it up. It was actually a mod I forgot I had installed. Like I said in my 2nd post. The very few mods I do run are very well tested & are updated by the creator. As for the repair tool. I have used it in the past & for me it creates the very tedious task of having to go through all of my control settings & deleting all of the duplicate controls & settings my curves again. So that post on hoggit regarding the repair tool potentially wiping the hard drive was just a load of crap then? Well I’m not willing to take that risk.
