DCS will not start after Update

[Caldera]

Hey Guys,

 

The update for the updater and the game that I loaded today (05-20-2021 12:30) broke my game.  It will not load. 

 

Everything seems to load normally until the "Getting Authorization Info" window comes up just for a few seconds.  Then the game just quits.

 

Any Help?

Same Problem here.

Had the same issue, a mod caused the crash. Check your mods.

Midnight,

 

I figured that out, I had a mod that DCS did not like.  First time that happened to me on an update.

Call the MOD man!

Same here.

 

I removed all mods with OVGME and did a full repare and nothing works.

 

I don't think that MODS are the issue...but the game itself (update)

Check you MODS folder in the Saved Games DCS folder.  The Frenchpack seems to be the one causing this issue.

Confirmed. You're a life saver!

Please remove all unofficial mods 

 

run a slow repair or verify in steam

 

if you still have problems 

 

Make sure windows is up to date and all drivers. 

 

Rename your dcs folder in saved games ( by doing this you create a backup )

 

restart dcs, it will create a new one, login redo settings and test. 

 

if you still crash please attach your dcs.log

 

thanks
