mods conflict Bizarre graphic anomalies causing green camo on everything keeps happening since latest update or installation of Kola.

That whole folder has an exception in my anitvirus.  The next thing would be to do an exception for the whole saved games folder..lol  Is there any chance a full uninstall and re-install of the whole sim might help?  All I've done is do repairs.  I just find it extremely odd that this only started happening since the Afghanistan map update.  I've NEVER had this before the last few weeks.  Suddenly it has happened 3 times.  I do not have a VPN.

No need to add your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder as an exception.

The problem is clearly visible in your logs, and it only affects DCS installation files, on your G:\ drive.

Please open a support ticket and tell them I send you.

1. Log into DCS website.
2. Click "Support".
3. Click "Create a new ticket".
4. In your comment, add a link to this thread.

Ok, thank you.

So, after many attempts to figure this problem out, I think I have it sorted out and hope if anyone else has this issue they may have been doing the same thing.

After the last time I did a repair, everything was back to normal and no graphical issues were happening for about a week.  Suddenly the issue happened again and I believe I narrowed it down to what is causing the corruption of the graphic files.

I realized that the issue would happen after I had been flying in MSFS 2020.  It would not happen if I just directly went into MSFS but it would happen if I used a separate app called MSFS Map Enhancement.  Trying to rack my brain about what had changed on my computer to keep causing this graphical corruption I realized that I downloaded this new app for MSFS roughly when my DCS issue started happening.  This app allows you to load more updated Bing map data and also Google map data which makes the world much more up to date.  I have no idea why this MSFS app would affect DCS but it appears to be the culprit.  I tried several times loading into MSFS and then exiting and loading into DCS and there would be no problem but if I run the MSFS Map Enhancement app along with MSFS and then exit and enter DCS the graphical corruption will be back.  End result, I removed the app.  Unfortunate but I don't know why it's causing the conflict.  It does like to play havoc with Microsoft defender.

I hope this finally solves my issue and I hope if anyone else has used this app and had problems with DCS it will help them as well.

Eagle Dynamics should make note of this for the future.

Thanks for all the replies.

good diagnosing. you should mark your post as solution.

IMHO ED files getting corrupted by an outside app is not their app's issue. this is the problem of the outside app. see if you can get settings for the outside app to make it look in only the MSFS folders.
