keep up the GOOD work man. Thanks a lot. 

EDIT : have you guys noticed a slower game start-up after this last weather mod patch? 

EDIT 2 : Yeah I can confirm with this last mod update the game won't start at all or take A LONG to.

I found the issue. I'll release a fix tomorrow. If you're having issues with it roll back to v1.7 for now.

On my machine it takes about 60 seconds to start. Try clearing out your shader cache in Saved Games\DCS\fxo and \metashaders2. That first run after clearing your shader will take a little longer but it should be good after that. Let me know if it's still a problem.

***If you downloaded 1.8 on August 12-14th, download again for the hotfix. There was a bug causing long loading times. Also recommended to clear your shader cache Saved Games\DCS\fxo and metashaders2 folders.

8/14/2025 - *HOTFIX* Updated to version 1.8.1

- Fixed excessive shader cache generation and long load times.

How did you install the update? If you're using a mod manager, and uninstalled 1.8 then it should work. If you just copied it over that won't work. There's folder/file in the mod that need to be removed. \Bazar\shaders\common\samplers11.hlsl needs to be removed.
