Game refusing to launch launcher

[Paladin1cd]

Used the program and fifteen minutes later I tried launching again (had to shut down to do work before I even got into the game) and now the launcher just gives me a black box where it should be but never loads the launcher. Worked fine throughout the week. I've checked drivers, rolled back drivers, done a slow repair, nothing is working.

Update: I have now done an full repair and that also did not workdcs.log.

A few users been getting this. Rename your C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS folder to DCS.old (rename it and not delete so you can copy back your bindings from the Config\Input folder). The DCS folder will get recreated when you start DCS again. Something unknown at this stage is getting corrupted.

Thanks... I wound up having to completely uninstall and reinstall. None of the repairs would work.

So it's fixed now? Uninstall and reinstall should have done the same thing as running a slow repair with the option to remove extra files ticked. Neither repairs or uninstall/reinstall will touch the Saved Games\DCS folder (reinstall may update anything missing/defaults), so would have been the same as renaming it like I mentioned.

Oh well, if it's fixed now then all good.
