Whirlaway Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 I am at my wit's end. I recently (last update) found my gamer (openbeta) will not load. I couldn't figure out why until I accidentally tried to launch the game before I opened TrackIR and it worked. Since then, I have 100% repeatability in loading WITHOUT TrackIR and 100% failure to load WITH TrackIR running. If I start the game and load TrackIR while in game, the game goes to a black screen and locks up. I am running both TrackIR and DCS as an admin and have fully removed and reinstalled both multiple times. Nothing I do seems to change this. Is ANYone else experiencing this? If so, is there a fix or workaround? I literally am never going to play this game without TrackIR, so if this can't work, then every module I have is useless.
Flappie Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Hi. Please reproduce the bug (launch TrackIR app first, then DCS), and wait 2 minutes before killing the game if it's still active. Then attach your dcs.log file ( C:\Users\your-name\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log ). ---
Whirlaway Posted January 16, 2021 Author Posted January 16, 2021 Thank you. I have attached the log. dcs.log
Flappie Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Oh, crap. You're having the 10+ peripherals crash. This bug hasn't been fixed yet. ALERT Dispatcher: Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/MissionEditor.lua"]:86: invalid order function for sorting Apparently, you can unplug the TrackIR, launch the game, then plug the TrackIR and it should work. ---

Thank you! I will try it. It’s weird though. I have not added any peripheral, and have been fine for years. Should I unplug one? Like an mfd or something?
Flappie Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 It's a newly introduced bug. Hopefully it won't last. If you follow the link in my previous post, you'll find several feedbacks. ---
Whirlaway Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 This was it! I simply unplugged an MFD and launched the game and it loaded just fine with TrackIR working. It sucks that I am down an MFD, but it's the peripheral I could most afford to lose. I hope they get this bug fixed soon! In the mean time, thank you Flappie for your help with this and so many other issues other people have!
Flappie Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 You're welcome. Thanks for your feedback. ---
