My Game Broke

[sweinhart3]

I have been running BS under Vista64 for some time now. But now no matter how many times I reboot, the sim crashes while its trying to load from the launcher. I have another copy of BS on my other drive that loads fine on the same machine and same OS so it would seem that my primary installation is corrupted somehow. How can I save my profile, setup, logbook, and campaign status before trying to reinstall? I really really dont want to start all over in the campaign.

Did you try to load the same mission each time ? I know there's a problem with loading missions that contain ships. These missions only run in windowed mode.

Hope it helps.

no Im currently in the middle of the first campaign on the Dusk mission. It doesnt seem to matter what mission I load tho including instant action. I get a msg that DCS has encountered an error during the mission load and then it just goes back to the launcher screen. Again if I load the game installed on my other harddrive it works fine. But that installation doesnt have my pilot logbook or campaign status on it.

Right off-hand I am not entirely certain about the setups and such, but logbook and campaign status is in players.lua. I'll get back in a sec with the exact file path.

 

Here's the file: .../BlackShark/data/scripts/Logbook/players.lua

 

Keep a copy of that one.
