DCS Crash entering in multiplayer server

[Musis]

Issue of DCS 53627, Crash DCS before the role selection.

Ssee log.

Same issue of DCS is working in local.

What could be the reason :

• my configuration ?
• Some bad files even if I did a complet repair ?
• A specific mod ?

Thanks for some answer before I go to a new installation.

Don't have an answer for you regarding the reasons, but if you want a quick check try the following:

Navigate to your saved games folder. In there find the DCS or DCS.OPENBETA folder. Rename this to DCS.OLD.

Then navigate to your DCS install's BIN directory and type in "dcs_update repair", and go through the repair process. 

Then boot up DCS. All your settings will be lost (don't worry - you have them saved in DCS.OLD). This is only a test to see IF this fixes the issue or not. 

If DCS runs fine, then you can close out, navigate to your saved games folder. You will have a new DCS or DCS.OPEN BETA folder. Delete it and then rename your DCS.OLD back to DCS or DCS.OPENBETA (whatever it was before). 

Re-run DCS. If it crashes again - you know the problem is with your settings or a mod. Fear not: If that happens, close DCS again, and rename DCS to DCS.OLD again. Then copy across only the things you really need (such as your config\input directory so you don't need to rebind all your things). Restart DCS and make sure it doesn't crash. Then one by one (if you want) re-install your mods until you find the culprit, or.. it otherwise just works fine without crashing.

FWIW - I would recommend using OVGME or another mod manager to manage mods, as it's far easier just to uninstall the mods using this to do a repair, and then place them back after the repair. 

 

TL;DR - With DCS closed, rename the DCS folder in your saved games directory to DCS.OLD and try running DCS. If it fixes the problem, you know it's a setting you had. You can recover your settings by renaming DCS.OLD back to DCS again if you want, or managing individually (per above).
