fokker Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Hi, Sorry for my English I've been using DCS since 2010 or so. I had to leave my computer in 2022 and now I've got it back. I updated everything but I noticed that I can't start DCS, it crashes when it loads a mission (any, with any plane and map) it loads up to "World Preload" then it goes to the desktop.I hope the attached file is the crash report, otherwise tell me where I can find it. Can anyone help me? Hi everyone Gaetano DCS.exe.936.7z
