Ever since the Afghanistan update I've been having weird graphic anomalies happening when launching the game.  Restarting the computer, removing shaders does not fix the problem.  When I enter the game and go to the mission editor the map will go all green camo.  I will get the same affect on the aircraft when in the loadout screen.  If I launch the mission everything in the world will be green camo.

The only thing that will fix it is a complete running of the DCS repair program.  The first time it happened I upgraded to the newest Nvidia driver but the problem has occurred again.

this is a texture issue. either not found, corrupted, or as @MAXsenna suggested, AV blocking them. a repair is the standard fix for this. i have done my own skins, and early in my attempts, i got this missing textures issue.

Thanks for the replies.  I have everything excluded in regards to DCS from my Win Defender.  DCS itself, the save games folder and even TrackIR.
Really strange that the textures are removed then. Disk error?

The issue is only affecting DCS.  It’s not affecting anything else like MSFS or IL2 which are on the same drive.  As I mentioned I’ve had everything excluded from Anti-virus.  This issue only started in the past week and a half since the major update but it first happened after I purchased the Kola map a couple days after the update.  Everything was fine for numerous flights and then came back to the game the next day and this happened.  Did a repair and it was fixed.  Fine again for numerous flights over several days and then all of a sudden it’s back again.

Repair fixed it again.  Not sure for how long.  The only other thing that changed was un-parking my cores which I noticed had happened.

Perhaps you should try to simplify the equation.  You really don't need a bunch of tweaks to get DCS to run great.  When you find yourself in a twisty little maze of issues, start over.

do you have any texture mods? can you post your DCS.LOG from when the textures looked funky?

I have no mods whatsoever.  
The DCS.log will probably give some info about missing textures. Just drag and drop it here. Do not copy and paste its content. It's under Saved Games\DCS\Logs

It's not a full log. Run the game, show the problem, exit. Then upload dcs.log.

That’s the problem.  I will have to wait for the issue to happen again as I fixed it by doing a repair.  It has happened twice in the past week.  I will have to see if it happens again and what might trigger it.  I have flown yesterday and today with no issues since the repair but this happened before where I repaired it, flew fine for a few days and then suddenly the issue happened again.

Thanks for the assistance.  The next time it happens I will immediately upload the file.

Looks like a disk problem. I advise to scan its integrity with some disk tool.

I have this happen to me but thankfully not to the whole ‘world’. I get a few bits and pieces on aircraft missing. 

Hope you get to the bottom of it, maybe I’ll try the same fix if you find one. Good luck with it. Nobody wants to fly around in a DCS Shrek/Hulk World, or do they?

I had that with a mod. (UH60L on Syria map) There was a zip file in the skins folder that was not being read. Tweaked it all and now good.

Visit the Dangerdogz at www.dangerdogz.com. We are a group based on having fun (no command structure, no expectations of attendance, no formal skills required, that is not to say we can not get serious for special events, of which we have many). We play DCS and IL2 GBS. We have two groups one based in North America / Canada and one UK / Europe. Come check us out.

@Nightstalker The last log file your sent it too small, we can only see the very beginning of DCS startup.

Please reproduce the problem, then attach your dcs.log (the file may be called "dcs" in Windows).

Sorry, I don't understand.  I started the game, saw that it was messed up, exited and grabbed the file.  Do you want me to fly around in a messed up game and then grab the file?  The game is fixed again because each time I do a repair it fixes it.  I just never know how long it will last.

Is this the file?

Loading the mission and hit Fly before exiting should be enough to see the error in the log. Yes, that is the right log file, thank you.

Below are the errors that you're getting when your sim is repaired, if I understand correctly. DCS has a lot of them (I filtered some of them because I found them in my own log).

So now, we need to wait until your sim is broken again. When that happens, attach a fresh dcs.log so we'll be able to compare, and see what new error you get.

Well, it was fine for one day.  I shut down the computer this morning due to a storm.  When I restarted the computer and went into DCS, I was met again with this.  I hope we can figure it out this time.  I'm getting pretty frustrated with it.  This has never happened in all of the years I've owned DCS until the Afghanistan patch.

I see a big difference in your logs, right after the custom settings are initialized:

(left = no bug, right = bug)

image.png

Here are all the differences that I see:

A lot of files located in ".\DCS World/Bazar/textures" and ".\DCS World/Bazar/world/textures" cannot be accessed for some reason.

You also have these two errors, but they may only show depending on the aircraft you chose to fly (I mean, there's a high chance I get these two errors if I load the same mission) : 

2024-07-30 18:03:47.022 ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND (6068): texture 'shell_30mm' not found. Asked from ''
2024-07-30 18:03:47.022 ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND (5576): texture 'shell_30mm_SPEC' not found. Asked from ''

This looks like a VPN connection, and I cannot see this line in your no-bug session. Coincidence? I think so. 

2024-07-30 18:04:08.479 INFO    APP (Main): Device plugged: [SWD] WAN Miniport (SSTP)

A lot of files located in ".\DCS World/mods/terrains/afghanistan" either.

And there are some more errors.

 

It looks like your DCS is unable to access files in zip archives. You should add  this folder as an exception in your antivirus and see if it helps: ":G\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\".
