hoggles Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I'm getting the attached error after updating my server to 2.9. I'm not sure if this is an issue because I have been updating an older install? I never reinstalled the server with the modular server installer, is that a problem?

Ticker Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have the same issue - did the full cleanup and repair. I think that the problem is that I run a dedicated server without any GUI-option and that type of install doesn't have the bin-mt-folder that DCS tries to access in DCS 2.9.

hoggles Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 No luck. Tried the slow repair, also. Not sure why the dcs_updater.exe is pointing to the bin-mt folder to begin with. Running the dcs.exe shows a splash screen and then closes. Getting this in the logs: 2023-10-19 16:49:25.160 INFO GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): renderer: 'dx11backend.dll' 2023-10-19 16:49:25.160 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): Can't load render backend 'dx11backend.dll'.

hoggles Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Read the DCS Discord channel for server admins, and it seems you need to manually make a shortcut to bin/dcs.exe with "--server --norender", for now So, for example: "C:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS.exe" --server --norender Edited October 19, 2023 by hoggles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 We manually created the bin-mt folder and it works now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asto Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Same with our Servers.

Asto Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) It seems to work with a changed shortcut. Start the DCS.exe with the params --server and new: --norender Edit: too late Edited October 19, 2023 by Asto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle17 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) screen shot below tried running the dcs.exe and it looks like it tries to start full game then exits. also this happens on all three of my dedicated servers.

Gorn_GER Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I have the same problem with my server. In the "installation problem" topics, there was a workaround with using the "\DCS World OpenBeta Server\bin\DCS.exe" --server --norender Idk. at the moment if that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle17 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I was able to get this to work but coping the contents of the /bin directory into a new directory named /bin-mt it did need both directories to work as the updater still runs from /bin.

eagle17 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Same issue I posted in the server section.... this is for all three of the dedicated servers I host. fix was to create a /bin-mt and copy the contents from /bin all three up and working fine now.

hoggles Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) yes, older non-modular server. Not sure if this helps, but my autoupdate.cfg was this: { "WARNING": "DO NOT EDIT this file. You may break your install!", "branch": "openbeta", "version": "2.9.0.46801", "timestamp": "20231019-115244", "arch": "x86_64", "lang": "EN", "modules": [ "DEDICATED_SERVER", "MARIANAISLANDS_terrain", "SINAIMAP_terrain", "FALKLANDS_terrain" ], "launch": "bin-mt/DCS.exe", "launch_args": [ "--norender", "--server" ], "no_auto_inject": true } I did notice (even though it warns against modifying the file), if you can change the line `"launch": "bin-mt/DCS.exe",` to `"launch": "bin/DCS.exe"` and it will work with the updater again.

Checkmate Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I tried downloading the update and my whole install got messed up. I could not get repair to work either. Not sure if it was pointed to the wrong directory. I deleted everything and now I just want to reinstall DCS from scratch, but I can't figure how. Can someone tell me what I need to download, so I can reinstall and get 2.9 up and running with Multi-treading turned on. Will not let me install on D drive either. When I tried to get it to install on D drive I get 433 error. Edited October 20, 2023 by Checkmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Is their a dedicated server patched for 2.9? On every server I tried last night everything in the server was ghosting, was unplayable. Thought it was DLSS at first, so when back to MSAA and it was still doing it. Guys walking on the Carrier were even ghosting.
