TonyRS Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 As of today I'm unable to run DCS. Until today it has been working fine. Unaware of any changes today to windows or DCS. Open Beta Version 2.8.2.35759 on Windows 10 Pro. On opening, I get the splash screen, it logs me in, then goes to a blank screen. I have to exit the DCS process in task manager to get my computer back! Attached is latest log file which, hopefully, means something to someone Any advice guys??? dcs.log Self Build: 5000D Airflow Case, Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero DDR 5 MOBO, 1200W Corsair Modular PSU, I9-12900K CPU, MSI 3080 ti 12GB GPU, Corsair Vengence 64GB DDR5 5600 RAM, H150i Elite CPU Cooler, 2 x 1TB & 1 x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD's, Windows 10 Pro OS, Samsung Odyssey G7 28" G-Sync (3840 x 2160 Resolution) Monitor, Thrustmaster, ROG Strix Go 2.4 Headset , HOTAS Warthog Stick, Throttle & TPR Rudder mounted on WheelStandPro V2 rig.

Flappie Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Hi. Try this: Go to Saved Games/DCS.../Config. Rename your option.lua file to "options.lua.bak". ---

Rename your option.lua file to "options.lua.bak". Thank you, very much, for your suggestion. You may well be right; that may be all that was needed. However, before I saw your reply, I did the following… That does seem to have solved my problem. Was working fine when playing online the night before. Since then I’ve had no Windows or DCS updates so, I reckoned the only thing that can have changed would be the contents of my SavedGames folder. So, I decided to backup and then DELETE my SavedGames folder and try firing up DCS again. It worked!!! DCS recreated my SavedGames folder. I then reinstated backed up control settings, missions, server settings, mods, SRS, TacView and stuff to newly created SavedGames folder (ignoring any cache folders), tried DCS again and it now loads and seems to function properly again. So, SORTED!!! Now for a few hours crash!
