ddc196 Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 Same. Multiple threads on this. I'm sure they're working on it. 2 Intel i9-14900KF - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - 64GB 3200 - Win 11 - 4 TB SSD (game drive) - Quest 3.
kariem2k Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) It worked for me by renaming C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64) to something else like C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)_bak --This should be a temporary solution until the issue is fixed because other software might be using this-- Edited January 29, 2023 by kariem2k
BMamba Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Hi guys, I am the original poster of DCS discord dcs-bug-reporting-forum "DCS STUCK..." chat, describing the problem of Openbeta after 2.8.2 update getting stuck in logo screen and NEVER logging in ED server for user authentication. I want to inform you that running the Open Beta AS ADMINISTRATOR makes it work at least in my case. I tried it many times, running as admin works and simple run is stuck. We are still investigating why.
Darkenmass Posted January 30, 2023 Author Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) At the moment my report is as follow: 1) Updated Windows with optional pack 22H2 NO SOLUTION 2) Run as administrator NO SOLUTION 3) Serched for C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (nullx64) i have no "Debugging Tools for Windows (x64)" folder or file i have a list of dbghelp.dll (what am i supposed to do with that ?) NO SOLUTION Dcs is still in perma loading Edited January 30, 2023 by Darkenmass

ED Team c0ff Posted January 31, 2023 ED Team Posted January 31, 2023 Can you please, create an empty file DCS.exe.local in the bin folder right near DCS.exe and try to run - it should work (I hope).

ED Team c0ff Posted January 31, 2023 ED Team Posted January 31, 2023 Please, create an empty file DCS.exe.local, for example in the Notepad (mind the extension when saving the file! it should be .local) Run DCS.exe after that.

Thanks. Ok, but i am not lucky with that too ....neither with DCS.local or DCS.exe.local Note i have no option to save as .local in any compiler i have so i assume i have to manually input the domain name dcs.log Edited January 31, 2023 by Darkenmass
ED Team c0ff Posted January 31, 2023 ED Team Posted January 31, 2023 The list of files reads 'DCS.exe.local Text Document' - it means that the real file name is DCS.exe.local.txt - you need to remove the .txt part Dmitry S.

ED Team c0ff Posted January 31, 2023 ED Team Posted January 31, 2023 Okay, can I just post a zip with the file? Unpack into the install folder DCS-exe-local-file-unzip-to-install-folder.zip Dmitry S.

ED Team c0ff Posted February 6, 2023 ED Team Posted February 6, 2023 There's a more than one problem with the start. On of them is LG Screen Splitter software. We're working on a workaround atm.

ED Team c0ff Posted February 15, 2023 ED Team Posted February 15, 2023 We found out there was one more problem, apart from incompatibility with LG Screen Splitter and we solved it as well. Next openbeta should be ok. 1 1 Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2.
Otulf Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Hello! Until yesterday evening, my DCS OpenBeta 2.8.2.35759 worked perfectly. Then suddenly when I tried to launch DCS, It would not launch... Today I updated my Nvidia Driver ande Windows 11, uninstalled all mods and repaired DCS. Still the same problem!? I uninstalled DCS Open Beta from my SSD and made a vanilla install of DCS OpenBeta and the problem remains!? What to do? I would be most grateful for help! Best regards: Otulf

Best regards: Otulf You don't happen to run f-secure antivirus? That one updated yesterday and now prevents DCS from launching completely. Had to uninstall since adding DCS to excluded from protection did not cut it.
Otulf Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Good evening mg_78! Thank you for your reply! Indeed I do run f-secure anti virus! I have also tried to add DCS to be excluded from protection without success... Do one really have to uninstall f-secure to run DCS!? Thats bad news since f-secure is our only antivirus protection. I have to find some other solution then... Thank you again mg_78! Best regards: Otulf
