Obnoxious DCS startup times since 2.8.6.41393 OpenBeta MT (around 120 seconds!)

Ok, given this hopefully temp situation is it possible to make some edit, in some DCS LUA, INI, CFG or ??? that would allow me to change my overall resolution manually BEFORE launching DCS icon?

I want to work on a project where I don't need my usual 2560x1080 res, but instead want 1600x900 so I can use the remainder of the screen. But the current 4+ minute loading time means I waste almost 10 minutes getting set up.

Yes, goto your 'Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config' folder and open options.lua, look in the ["graphics"] section and adjust width and height there and save.

Nice - just tried and was 1 minute for me. Feels faster than before but could just be me hoping!

 

Edit: I forgot I had deleted fxo and meta shaders folders before loading up the new beta build so there was no doubt time spent reinstalling those files. Tried again and it was down to 35 seconds. Definitely faster than previously!

Wow! DCS now takes 15 seconds to load for me now. Never seen it that fast before. Thanks a lot, ED!

Yup, down to 47 seconds from clicking the desktop icon to stable on the home screen (that's on a NVMe drive), from 3+ minutes before today's patch.

ST back to normal.

MT, not so much.

Several minutes in, zero activity on the progress bar. Few minutes later: CTD.

No mods loaded, repair install, patched.

Turn off SMT and check it again.

Strange, just tested:

 

 

Load DCS 2.8.7.42583 Multi-threaded, enter Mission Editor, Load Mission at Nevada map, Run Mission, total time less than 2 minutes.
