Owl Dynamic Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 With a high probability, when starting the game the initial splash screen will not go away. The music plays and the menu buttons seem to be functional, but I cannot see anything. Launching a second time and the problem disappears, but it is very annoying. Unfortunately the logs do not show a difference between successfull and failed launches. It might be a driver level error from AMD, because I have seen similar first vs second launch behaviour on other rare occasions.dcs_nostart.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 ... It might be a driver level error from AMD, because I have seen similar first vs second launch behaviour on other rare occasions. I agree ... probably a driver error, check Temps of your VGA to be sure it isnt overheating. Your log shows nothing related to the problem and is almost the same as mine, where I don't have this problem.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted July 29, 2020 ED Team Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hi Logs not showing any issue. I would try a fresh driver install to try and rule it out. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

sthompson Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I experience this fairly often too. Seems to be related to me being impatient when DCS is loading slowly. If I Alt-TAB to another application while it is loading there is a good chance that when I come back to DCS I will only have the black background splash screen with version number display, and no way to display the GUI, which clearly is running in the background (music playing, etc.). If I do not interrupt the DCS startup then it works fine. I'm running an Nvidea 1060 with up-to-date drivers. Edited July 31, 2020 by sthompson add graphics card info I'm Softball on Multiplayer.

Flappie Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hi OwlDynamic. I think I've identified a pattern among several users and you're one of them: could you try the solution identified at the end of this post? https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4403760&postcount=9 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Flappie Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hi. Someone else found a slightly different solution here: Hey! Apparently it works now! So what I changed was: >Set Full Screen to TRUE and set the correct resolution in options.lua >Open via AMD software Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Bogey Jammer Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I confirm that just turning off the full screen setting in options.lua can resolve the problem. I have an intel CPU. Weird, that option was always on, and DCS is still in fullscreen mode even if it's turned off… I can hardly remember that recently I fiddled with a dropdown selector with 3 options of some sort of fullscreen setting. Two of them were about fullscreen mode. I thought it was weird because it was already full screen. But I can't manage to find this selector again… I'll buy : МиГ-23МЛД & МЛА МиГ-27К МиГ-25 Mirage III F-4E any IJ plane 1950' Korea Dynamic campaign module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
