I can try and load DCS, have nothing else running, and it won't get past the initial screen with the version number on it. I've turned off my antivirus & VPN.  Everything version wise is up to date. The only thing that has changed in the last few months is that I added 2 new sticks of ram. Every other game I have runs fine, so I don't see how that could be the issue. 


Also, where do I find the log file that everyone keeps talking about?

I have the same thing happening. Screen goes black after the initial screen and then pops back to my desktop. Acts like a closed window, except the sound is playing and when I click to open the window it flashes black and then pops back to my desktop.

Please run a repair or verify if steam

then rename your dcs folder in saved games ( keep it as a backup )

C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta 

rename to 

C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbetabackup

then restart dcs and login and test. 

If this fixes your issue either something was wrong in your install or in your DCS settings

I removed the OV-10 mod and that has seemed to fix it! 

Thanks all!

 

Hmmm....my Bronco works perfectly, go figure.   😎

Alright. Now this is bugging me! Sometimes it loads quickly, sometimes it takes so long that I think its hung and I go to play something else then BAM! DCS homescreen!  And when I do close out of the app, it'll still show up as running in the task manager!

Have you done the usual stuff? Remove all community mods, do a slow repair etc.

I have! it'll run eventually, but it'll take 10 minutes from icon selection to first page. The only thing I can think of thats changed is that I have 2 different sets of memory on the PC. 4 sticks of 8GB (32 total) But everything else runs fine, no crashes or anything. DCS just takes a long time to load. And some times it loads right up! I don't know!

Even though my Bronco was working ok, I noticed that my game was loading slowly.

I went ahead and removed the Bronco Mod and holy smoke! It's like I'm on the freeway now.

It's a damn shame. I really like the Bronco and now I can't use it.

The Bronco was updated recently to version 1.08 

if you are still on its original version, you should try to update it, as it includes several, performance improvements.

Thank you sir. That fixed it. The Bronco and all other mods are working just fine.

Glad to help, hopefully the Mods author will keep on improving it .. the recent Cessna O-2 looks great to be a companion on our Marianas missions:

Ok. I'm officially out of ideas. I deleted everything and did a fresh install. Just installed maps and the f-18, huey and Gazelle. And its STILL HANGING UP and taking forever to load. 

My log time starts at 1:15:58 and ends at 1:25:47. There are a few multi minute gaps in the log. Looks like most of them have to do with sound files. 

 

System is: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor  , 32gb ram (4 sticks) and a AMD Radeon 6700XT.  Game is on a M2 SSD drive. 

I've turned off surfshark and everything else I can think of. Every other game I have runs great and loads very quickly.

try the following:

rename the folder C:\Users\russe\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ to \DCS.bak\

restart DCS, it will create a new C:\Users\russe\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\ folder

copy the folder C:\Users\russe\Saved Games\DCS.bak\Config\  to the new DCS.openbeta folder (careful with windows, as it might try to move the folder rather than copy it 🙂 )

start DCS, it may ask your user credentials

 

It may still be a slow start as it will have to re-create its shaders .. once DCS starts, exit and re-start again, it should now load speedy enough 

try it for a while .. does it still crashes?

@jetmanjeff I'd also try and set the fixed sized windows page file to 32GB, plus exclude saved games\dcs and main dcs installation folders from AV scanning.
