drspankle Posted Saturday at 06:20 PM Posted Saturday at 06:20 PM Hi all, After the last update DCS wouldn't load and just hung at the Launch Screen. All I got was a black screen with no icons. I tried Repair (quick and full), but it didn't work. I don't have any mods. I uninstalled and re-installed and now I have 2 icons, DCS and DCS-MT, where I used to only have 1 (I thought the MT version was now the default?), and, although I saved my user profile for my HOTAS, when I the Load Profile nothing changes. I've never had an issue updating before. Anyone help? Dr Spankle

Dr Spankle hello the shortcut should be Target: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" Start in: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta" your folder may be different. for sure you should be running everything from BIN. BIN and MT are the same files now and defaults as multithread.

And how come I had one icon befor the update and now I have 2 (MT and non MT)? I though MT was standard now?

ED kept it so the shortcuts everyone used would not break. you can also browse in Explorer to where the install folder is, find DCS_updater.exe, right click, create shortcut. then drag it to your desktop of taskbar. it is safe to delete the other shortcuts.
