LiteralGiraffe Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I’ve updated to the new beta update and with it the BS3. However when I installed the Shark, anytime I load into any single or multiplayer mission DCS crashes, even if I’m not trying to fly the Shark. When I uninstalled the Shark the game works perfectly, however when I install the Shark it crashes. I tried uninstalling DCS entirely and it still crashed as long as the Shark is installed. I’ve also tried repairing and cleaning up the files and nothing has fixed the issue. Attached is the crash report I get when the game crashes. (same crash report multiple times) Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. dcs.log-20221219-073628.zip Edited December 19, 2022 by LiteralGiraffe Typo fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 19, 2022 ED Team Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thank you for the data, at the moment I am unable to reproduce the crash on my system. During the repair of dcs did you use the slow option? and is windows up to date? Which antivirus / security are you using? Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

During the repair of dcs did you use the slow option? and is windows up to date? Which antivirus / security are you using? I did slow repair and selected the other option to search for missing files or swim thing along those lines. I’m using fully updated windows 10 and do not have an anti virus other than the default windows anti virus. The crash report says it doesn’t have access to some file and fails to load cockpit details. Do you know if any way to tell my system that it is allowed? Or am I able to delete/move the file somewhere else? I have tried running DCS as administrator as well but to no avail. thank you again for the assistance!

Solution Flappie Posted December 19, 2022 Solution Share Posted December 19, 2022 Does the game crash if you rename your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually about to try it as I read BIGNEWY’s general crash fixes guide so thank you to him. And thanks to you for mentioning it here for anyone else with this issue!

Flappie Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Great! I believe the cause of your crashes was this custom script: "DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Hooks\lottafGameGUI.lua". In case you want to get to the bottom of this: You can now rename the new folder that got created by the game to any name, like "DCS.openbeta_virigin", then rename your initial folder (the one containing all your custom bindings and scrripts) the way it was before: "DCS.openbeta". Then rename your "DCS.openbeta/Scripts/Export.lua" file so the game cannot find it, and try BS3 again. Still no crash? Then the cause of your bug lies in this file. If so, please attach it here. Otherwise: Simply copy the "Config/Input" folder from your initial "DCS.openbeta" folder into the new "DCS.openbeta/Config" one.
