WipeUout Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) The GUI, either in 2D or VR, is failing to start. I tried to do a repair with no change. I tried to revert to 2.7.18 with no change. In VR I see the hangar with the MIG-29 but no GUI. In 2D, just a black screen. Tried also both SteamVR and OpenXR and no change. There is an error message in the log stating the GIU failed to load, but no idea what is causing it.

Solution Flappie Posted February 5, 2023 Solution Posted February 5, 2023 Hi. Try these: Rename your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder to "DCS.backup" (do NOT delete it, it contains your customized controls among other things). Start DCS. If the previous steps didn't help, run a DCS repair and choose "slow" mode. 1 On holiday

Worked! Thanks @Flappie. Now, what can I copy back in the newly created DCS folder in order to get my settings back? The "config" folder? Obviously, the mission folder should be straight forward but would like to avoid file by file trial and error... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9800X3D, RTX 4090, 96GB DDR 5, MSI Tomahawk 870E, Crucial 2TB x 2, TM WARTHOG COMBO + PENDULAR RUDDER PEDALS, THE AMAZING PIMAX 8K X, Sony 5.1 Spks+SubW | DCS, A-10C_II, AH-64D, F-14/15E/16/18, F-86F, AV-8B, M-2000C, SA342, Huey, Spitfire, FC3.

WipeUout Posted February 5, 2023 Author Posted February 5, 2023 Found the culprit: Options.lua The file was corrupted by starting my steam version which was not the same as my non-steam version of DCS. When I replaced this file from my previous Savegame/DCS/config folder, the GUI did not start. Reverting back corrected the issue but I had to re-set most of my options. At least I did not lose my flight stick/throttle/pedal config. 1 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9800X3D, RTX 4090, 96GB DDR 5, MSI Tomahawk 870E, Crucial 2TB x 2, TM WARTHOG COMBO + PENDULAR RUDDER PEDALS, THE AMAZING PIMAX 8K X, Sony 5.1 Spks+SubW | DCS, A-10C_II, AH-64D, F-14/15E/16/18, F-86F, AV-8B, M-2000C, SA342, Huey, Spitfire, FC3.
