Can't get Encyclopedia

[H2owing]

Like said in the subject I can't get in the Encyclopedia menu even after a repair.

It is loading indefinitely. I have to stop the game via task manager.

Is that a bug or is it just me ?

I have the last Open beta version

I have no problem accessing the Encyclopedia. Here's your error stack:

Try this:

1. Go to "E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts" and delete "UpdateManager.lua".
2. Go to "E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\MissionEditor\modules" and delete "me_encyclopedia.lua".
3. Then run a DCS repair.

Thank you Flappie for your response.

I did but with no success.

I've found these errors in the log file:

I doubt the "negative weight' warnings have anything to do with your issue.

 

Usually, when players cannot access to the Encyclopedia, a mod is in the way. Try disabling your mods in the module manager.
