bonesvf103 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I have the Steam version. Occasionally when loading a mission, the loading freezes up at stage World Preload 1/60. If I force shutdown and restart DCS, it usually works fine. If I do an integrity check, it finds 5 files that need to be re-downloaded, and everything is fine for a day or two and then the problem and process repeats. Any ideas? v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Ironhand Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Out of curiosity, is it the same 5 files and, if so, what are they? Your mention of the sim working fine for a day or two before another freeze occurs piqued my interest. That’s the same time period that often occurs in the “second mission bug”.

bonesvf103 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 I can't tell what files, Steam just says 5 files.

bonesvf103 Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hmmm mine is sorta random.

Tango777 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Glad to hear that they are working on it because it happens to me every time when I go to fly another mission. I fly a mission, end it, and go to fly again. It then locks the computer up right at World Preload 1/60 every time. Windows locks up so badly that Task Manager or anything else is not even clickable. I have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete and click on sign out.

Kercheiz Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I have the freeze on World Preload 1/60 one time every 20-30 game load.

steph1258 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Hi, seems like this topic is a bit old but I'm having a similar issue with my Steam version since the 2.9 version has landed. My game crashes every single time while I am trying to load a mission, which makes it practically unplayable. I deleted all Mods and associated input files, checked the integrity on Steam twice, reverted to an older version of my GPU pilot : all to no avail. In despair I turn to the community for help because I am at a loss with what to do next... Symptoms : Game crashes when World Preload hits 1/60 then it prompts a game crash report window. I sent numerous reports with a description of what happened every time but since then no answer. Attached are all the files I could find with my latest try, today on 1 Dec. 2023 1740 UTC. Thanks a lot for any piece of advice you can send my way! dcs.log dcs.log-20231201-175402.zip DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.log DCS-SRS-GameGUI.log DCS-SRS-InGameRadio.log dcs.log.old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Try this: Uninstall your GPU driver (you can use DDU if you want to make sure everything is removed). Reboot your PC.

steph1258 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Hi Flappie, thanks for the answer! I did try this but to no avail, unfortunately... The same problem occurs every single time. I really do not know what is happening and I am far from an expert regarding those things but DCS worked just fine in 2.8. It is only since the 2.9 version that I have that strange behaviour. Anyway, thank you for the help, I appreciate a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now do I remove the .bak extension or do I just move on to the next step? BTW, how can that affect my game? Sorry for the stupid question but I fail to see what that extension does exactly.

Flappie Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Renaming the "options.lua" file causes DCS to create a brand new one. You can do both: rename the new "options.lua" file to "options.lua.new", then rename the old one back to "options.lua", then proceed to the next step.
