mods conflict Out of the blue 2 days ago DCS crashes on start every time

[Shawnbo]

I have done nothing different. I was playing DCS one night, finished then shut down DCS and then my computer and when I woke up in the morning I tried to start DCS and it crashes every time I try to start DCS. I get the "Unfortunately DCS crashed" box.

I'm having constant crashes also, with nothing different from yesterday (early hours this morning) it's crashing on entering the sim for me.

Run a full repair, the long one..

Cannot attach a file on here either it seems .. I have a Max total size of 2.91kb to be able to upload, WTF is that all about?? LOL

@ObanYour zip doesn't contain any log. If you're able to reproduce your crash easily, please do, then attach the resultig dcs.log file (from your "Logs" folder as well).

 

@Shawnbo Sorry, I hadn't noticed you edited your initial post with your file attached. Let's see:

Do you own the Tomcat module? If so, it seems your DCS crashes when it's about to load the F-14 fxo files. See an excerpt of my log:

2022-06-10 23:36:47.010 ERROR   WEAPONSBASE: invalid cx data <weapons.missiles.MBDA_Mistral><./CoreMods/aircraft/SA342/SA342_Weapons.lua>

Try this:

1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14".
2. Delete the "fxo" folder.
3. Run a DCS repair (choose "slow" mode).

Hi. You should disable or uninstall the MB-339 mod.

this is the shortest log i have ever seen. looks like it is crashing on a script.

2022-06-07 14:12:29.247 ALERT   Dispatcher: Error running db_scan: ?:0: attempt to concatenate a nil value

does this happen with every mission?

i do see one thing that you could change. your pagefile is small and perhaps making you run out of memory.

@silverdevil The symptoms are those of the MB-339 mod incompatibility. See here:

 

[Cantankerous]

@Flappie

Ill give that a try thanks.

@Silverdevil

Just crashes at the splash screen at start up

Lets see if the MB 339 does the trick...

@Flappie

 

Success ! Thank you very much .
