What do we learn?

1. The error sprung from DCS Input.dll.
2. The Input function was using Lua scripts ("luaopen_Input").

It looks like DCS is having a hard time with one of your devices. What control were you using when it crashed?

T1600 with the throttle and pedals, and a streamdeck. Ive been playing like this for months now.

[Flappie]

I've found another Input.dll crash here. It was about headtracking devices. Do you use any headtracking device? Which one(s)?

ah yes I forgot to mention trackIR 5

[Flappie]

OK. Please try this:

Okay, I recently moved from Freetrack to TrackIR, I was forgetting I had HeadTracking.dll at /bin folder. I have removed it and repaired DCS. Now it works fine. The thread below helped me.

1. Go to "E:\DCS World\bin".
2. If you find a file named "headtracking.dll", delete it.
3. Launch a DCS repair.

There was no headtracking.dll in there, I also searched for "tracking" and trackir just in case, nothing.

I'm guessing that since it's missing completely running a repair now will replace it with a functioning .dll

I just did a cleanup followed by a slow repair, still no headtracking.dll in there but I'll test the gameplay for a while and see what happens

[Art-J]

Maybe this particular .dll doesn't have to be there at all. I don't have one (I'm a TrackIR user as well) and the game works OK without it.

[Flappie]

Indeed. This DLL must be added when using TrackIR alternatives. DCS doesn't have it by default.

 

OK @Pekins, so the repair hasn't changed anything. Since this error is rare, I suggest you open a support ticket.

[Pekins]

maybe the clean up and the repair did some good, I also deleted fxo and metashader folders, I played about an hour without problems, still need further testing, thanks for the help so far.

Good to hear, keep us posted.
