Game is not loading

[red_FoX]

Today I updated the game to 2.7.17.29493 open beta, and after I try to start the game, it fails to load.

After the user login, nothing is happening. On the taskbar, I see the DCS program with the info "Loading...". Sometimes it goes to the black screen with a wait cursor and after a while, Windows displays a message that the program is not responding.

I have attached the dcs.log and DxDiag files.

What I have tried so far:

1. Removed all mods (Tacview was the only mod I'm using)
2. I have deleted fxo and metashaders2 folders
3. Renamed Config folder
4. Disconnected all the hardware I could (e.g. joystick, track ir...)

Any ideas?

After I enabled the full debug log with your autoexec.cfg, I saw this line:

2022-09-17 17:30:02.211 ALERT   DX11BACKEND: Error: Can't find precompiled shader for effect deferred/compose.fx:DIRECTX11=true;MSAA=2;USE_DCS_DEFERRED=1;USE_SHADOWS=1;USE_SSAO=1;.
Recompilation process will take some time, please wait
(this situation should not occur on end user PC, if there is no manual shader editing)

This time I gave the game 10 minutes to load, and it finally loaded. Now it is loading normally

I was thinking that if the shader recompilation process needs to take some time, it should be useful to show some kind of message about that, so we should know that some regular process is underway and the game is not frozen because of a bug.

That is a very good idea. I'll tell devs about it.
