I thought this crash is caused by Windows 10's Language setting.
I set my Windows 10 in Japanese (multi-byte characters language used in Japan).

Once I switched Windows 10's Language into English / United States .... solved.
No crash, Main windows comes and I can fly missions.

I find another behavior about today's ob crashing.

I use Google Japanese Input Method Engine (IME) to type Japanese letters. It makes the problem.
When I switch Windows 10's Japanese IME setting from Google IME into Microsoft IME, DCSW 2.8.2 ob client becomes to open without crashing.
I hope my information helps ED staff to fix it.

About its crashing time, my 1st post dcs.log with 21 lines is the full.
/bin/CockpitBase.dll is its last.

Thank you so much! I have same problem. When I used Google IME, I cannot start DCS, but it will be fine when I used MIME

Konnichiwa @western_JPN and @Kiseki_Yu. I've just tried it with Windows 11: I replaced my system language from French to Japanese, I then logged out and logged in, then I ran DCS. I reached the main menu and was able to fly.

Was your issue solved? And if it's not solved, are you still using Windows 10?

Hi, Flappie.

I forgot to reply this topic, sorry.
This DCSW CTD on Windows 10 Japanese edition might be solved on some days of this July. 
Between the release days of ob 2.8.6 .41363 and ob 2.8.7 .42583 , Microsoft's Windows Update might affect it published around those days.
I've checked CTD or not with each IMEs soon after ob 2.8.6 .41363 released and then not solved in my memory.

Flappie san, konbanwa.

Thank you for asking.

I switched my system from Windows 10 to Windows 11 a few months ago. After encountering issues with Google IME about DCS, I've been using Microsoft IME, and I haven't had any problems with DCS.

Kiseki_Yu san, kombanwa too.

I thank both of you for your quick feedback.

@western_JPN If I understand well, your problem has not been fixed yet? If not, you should consider updating to W11. I did and it's a perfectly fine OS.

Yes. My problem has been fixed with Windows 10 + Google J-IME.
