Gökhan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hello, When I try to create a standard fast mission, I get the message that options.lua is missing where is should be yet when I check the location I can see the actual file. Does anyone have a clue what might it be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi. Here's the right path for open beta: C:\Users\your_name\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua. If your file is right where it should be, then maybe it's damaged. Please backup your options.lua and try the default file, attached to this post. Does the game still complain with it?options.lua Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu68 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think mission gen. isn't working with Syria yet if thats the map you're using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I think mission gen. isn't working with Syria yet if thats the map you're using. I've just tested it with Syria map: it works just fine on my side. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gökhan Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi Flappie, Thanks for the default options.lua file. Unfortunately, it did not work. One more thing is that the message has a strange detail. C:\Users\Gökhan\Saved Games\DCS\\Config\options.lua not found. As you can see, there are double \\ before config folder. Is that normal?

Flappie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 That's probably the error we were looking for, yes. I've tried to reach my own Config folder by giving Windows explorer the same wrong path and it fails because of the double antislash. Now we have to find where this \ comes from.

Flappie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It's the second issue you have with your stable version (the first one being your network issue). You should seriously consider a cleanup and repair. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gökhan Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi Flappie, Thanks for the suggestions. I indeed ran cleanup and repair before consulting you guys. It did not bring up any solution. I need to find the file that is looking for this wrong path for the option.lua and correct the // to / Take care, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Here's a test I've just done: 1. I rename options.lua into some other name 2. I start the game (I need to enter my login and I get the default settings and default screen definition) 3. I rename the newly created options.lua into some other name 4. I try to create a fast mission: DCS doesn't say anything about missing options.lua file, but instantly goes back to its main menu. I really don't know how you get the error message abot options.lua... Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Mau1er Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hello, When I try to create a standard fast mission, I get the message that options.lua is missing where is should be yet when I check the location I can see the actual file. Does anyone have a clue what might it be? I have exactly the same problem. When I try to create a fast mission (or any kind of missions) I get the same error message. Options.lua is missing.

Ala13_ManOWar Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 A friend of mine is in the same situation. I couldn't find a solution (nor this thread in forum search tool). Maybe some mod wants to combine threads. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=289169 And BTW, yeah, in addition to what I already said in my post, the repair was also tried and everything but nothing changed.

Flappie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) Interesting. I tried to reproduce the steps in order to compare our log files.

Flappie Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 @Hawk331I can't see your error message in your log. It's hard to know where the issue happens in the log.

Hawk331 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thank you for trying to help, @Flappie. I mean it is not game breaking or anything. I can live with it. I will keep on trying trhings to fix it. I can tell you renaming the folder to back up so DCS create a new one didn't work for me. Maybe. it is my spanish user name with a strange character causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala13_ManOWar Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'll find out. I don't remember he has any weird character in the name, but worth the shot. Also, I believe he probably uses Spanish GUI, just in case it might be related also. S! "I went into the British Army believing that if you want peace you must prepare for war.
