DCS Stops at 10%

[tmansteve]

Hi All

 

Pulling my hair out here. DCS has worked flawlessly since 2015. Today, it will not load past 10%. Log shows different errors. I disabled the mods, then removed the offending Lua files, Cleaned up DCS, then a Repair. It still will not load.

 

Should I uninstall the lot and start from scratch or maybe there might be something else I can try.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Hi. DCS tries to analyze your log book but fails:

2023-01-19 20:06:32.770 INFO    EDCORE (Main): (dDispatcher)enterToState_:1
2023-01-19 20:06:39.537 ALERT   Dispatcher (Main): Error starting Game GUI: [string "./MissionEditor/modules/me_logbook.lua"]:246: attempt to index field 'player' (a nil value)
2023-01-19 20:06:39.538 INFO    EDCORE (Main): (dDispatcher)enterToState_:2

Please attach your "Saved Games/DCS/MissionEditor/logbook.lua" file. I'll try to see what's broken.

In the meantime, if you don't care about your log book, simply rename this file to "logbook.lua.bak". DCS will create a brand new one at startup and you won't be stuck anymore.

Many thanks. I remember I changed a name in my logbook.lua. I will first redo and correct my logbook entries and then check to see if it loads.

If no luck, I will put my logbook.lua up for you to check. I will let you know if I have any success.

Hey Flappie,

That was it. I edited the logbook back to the way it was and it and dcs loaded OK.

Many thanks for the heads up.

Cheers
