dcs_updater.exe loads to black screen

[void68]

dcs_updater 2.16.0.10.exe starts with little white window "checking for updates", then loads into DCS (I think) and blackscreens.

DCS.exe 2.7.18.30765 works without problems, game runs smooth.

Your updater is not up-to-date. Download the latest version here (DCS_updater_64bit.zip), unzip the file in the /bin/ folder of your DCS installation, then run it.
