Airmage Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hi. Game does not start after the latest update. Tried removing mods, option file, input, track, payload files, fxo, metashaders, even removed entire saved games dcs folder. I have to roll back to previous OB version to play. Pls help, log file attached. dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hi. Follow these steps: Rename your Saved Games/DCS... folder to DCS.bak. Starts DCS and wait for main menu. Does it work? If so, I'll explain how to retrieve your control bindings. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havremonster Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It took longer than ever to load the game this time. Maybe give it 5 minutes if you have not done it already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't time it, but I set it aside while I did something else and by the time I was back, DCS was up and running.

Sometimes when it seems frozen, the log churns away and shows me that it's definitely not hung. It took a long time for me compiling the shaders. But the log showed me. Cheers!

Nealius Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 It seems it needs to compile the shaders when changing graphics settings. Mine had to compile after the update with high settings, then when I switched to lower VR settings it had to compile shaders again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airmage Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 So, it seems it only loaded much slower. I've let it load longer and it finally worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
