It just don't launch after the small loading screen. I tried all this : - Restarting computer. - Uninstalled all mods (in all folders where they can be installed, mean in DCS Mods, CoreMods, Mod, and user folder Mods). - Nvidia drivers update check (it was up to date). - Deleated FXO and metashaders2 folders in user file. - Process a full repear of DCS with full options with sucess. -Launching DC in administrator mod. - Full screen optimisation ON/OFF in propriety Don't know what to do, next step is to uninstall all and reinstall but before that i try to ask for help here. Thanks in advance ++ Edited April 29, 2022 by Mav783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Does it generate a dcs.log file at /Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Logs/ ? ... if so, please attach to look for clues.

No because the game don't crash or don't react. It just does not launch after loading :s So i can not generate a dcs.log or .crash Edited April 29, 2022 by Mav783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just now, Mav783 said: No because the game don't crash. It just does not launch after loading :s OK, have you checked your antivirus logs to be sure it is not interfering with DCS? Do you use Windows 10 or 11?

Masterofzen Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 @Rudel_chw I've attached my log file. It appears the only "error" that I can find is a loadout issue with the MiG-19P. dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you have a lot of user Mods installed, any one of them might have broken with the new DcS version … disable your Mods and check if DCS works without them. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use Windows 10 or 11? Thank for your support I don't have any anti-virus but your idea made me try to cut off the security of W11 (but with no success, it was looking like possible). I'm using Windows 11 and didn't have issue before since a long, but maybe W11 is not the best idea to run the OB :s Still impossible to generate any log or error files, it seem like the .exe launch only the loading screen. Then it load the game. But it don't continue and launch DCS at the moment it need to open and enter full screen. The icon desapear and nothing happen XD I tryed also to change the .exe icon.

allen6090 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I have done everything that Mav783, Masterofzen have done. I to, am experiencing exactly the same disconnect after I launch OpenBeta after the latest update was download today. I have my log attached. I did the cleanup and repair twice, removed all non OEM folders, downloaded updated Microsoft Visual for Windows 10, C++ (2015-2022). Launch, small DCS screen starts then disappears. Please advise. I am bitting at the bit to try the newest F-18 ACLS, deck crew, wands, etc. Greatly appreciate any direction for a resolution. Thank You.

Leadbottom Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Check to see if you have the VSN_F105 aircraft mod installed. I had the same issue that is being reported and when I removed the mod, everything worked perfectly. The mod is located in Saved Games > DCS.openbeta > Mods > aircraft folder. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen6090 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Leadbottom! You ROCK my good man! I removed VSN_105 & VSN_104 just for good measure. Working like it champ! Greatly appreciate your suggestion! Keep Flying, Leadbottom!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadok Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I had play DCS-world one time after patch, but the game freeze after a while. Then I can't launch the game anymore. Repair doesn't help. dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 There seems to be an issue during the device init sequence. Probably something that has to do with your force feedback joystick or maybe your head tracking device. Unplug these and try to run the game. Does it work? 1 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav783 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) I have no mods installed, no VSN 105 or 104. Unpluging the Track IR does not work (i also did try it before, this issue happen sometimes since long). Have no FFB hardware. And if it was that, the issue would be worser, i need my headtracking (but i guess u can plug it back when the game run ?). I think i will reinstall the game I wanted to try some fix that i didn't have the time to test before (hi Flappie XD). I think a clean reinstall will fix all that ! I just need to wait little, my fiber line is under maintenance and i'm running internet with a poor 4G for 3/4 days more XD Edited April 29, 2022 by Mav783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 You should be able to find a dcs.log file in your "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs" folder. It may appear as "dcs". It would help us help you.

Mav783 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) The most recent DCS.log (zipped ?) file i have is old one month ago : 28/03/2022. But i can attach my last DCS.log that appear to be a .TXT ! It's attached here I think it is that. I deleated the all Saved Games files (before to save it on an other hard disk) XD I also uninstalled Reshade and SRS. After i deleated all my saved files, and re-login, a popup said i don't have autorization to use all the modules i did try this year. Why this message ? Certainly becausethose modules are still installed but not activated (wich normally is not a problem because DCS was working like that the all year), i will try now to uninstall them manualy ! (but don't seem to be the issue). dcs.log Edited April 29, 2022 by Mav783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 That's the one. We can see the game stops loading right before it can read the options.lua file. It's as if it doesn't know where to look for it. Do you have a dcs_variant.txt file at the root of your DCS main folder? If so, delete it and retry to run the game. Then tell us if a new "Saved Games/DCS..." folder was created. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes i did creat a new Savec Games folder. Two in fact... a "DCS.openbeta" and a "DCS" (only)... But you know, i have others minor issue and i think i will unstall DCS en reintsall it all properly, it will not be a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappie Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 @MarcinCh You should try a DCS repair: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/repair/#2463807 Choose "slow" mode.

Mav783 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Just to say i'm reintsalling now, and i hope (and think) it will be ok. Just in case it is maybe interesting, i succeded to access the game in offline mode without login. I deleated the user folder entirely, then launched DCS, at the moment i needed to login, i canceled (click on cancel), and it launched the game offline ! (but for sure, with only the free content of the game and with no user preferences). Maybe it can help. Anyway, i process a clean install now and i think it will be better. I did install too much stuff and try too much things, modification, etc, i think it was a need anyway XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
