Broken DCS World after update 2.9.20.15010

[Coffin Corner]

The latest update with the MiG-29 Fulcrum module completely broke DCS World for me. A few days ago everything was fine, but after yesterday (update 2.9.20.15010) after selecting and launching any module, a loading screen appears and nothing happens. After an hour of waiting, the only thing left to do is to close the program using the Task Manager.
I tried checking and repairing files in the launcher, but it didn't help...
What should I do?

May I suggest to attach DCS log files so users can review them?

really need to see the dcs log for clues. 

but if it is just a black screen after launching dcs try 

rename Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor to MissionEditor.old and restart DCS.

I had similar problems the last two or three weeks, where I sometimes could not enter a cockpit, since the game froze after I selected an aircraft and wanted to start the session. After yesterdays patch I could not start and restarting the game or restarting my Quest 3 did not help. But luckily for me a slow repair solved it. At least for yesterday evening. 

Could you check if there is a crash report window in the background? I did see such a window and even sent a crash report with it. I´m curious if this will be a problem again this evening or if the slow repair did the job once and for all.

Thanks for the responses. I've added a log file to the post. To clarify the situation. DCS World doesn't freeze, it just refuses to load after selecting a specific module.

The advice from BIGNEWY helped with renaming the Mission editor directory 
Thank you very much for the quick and successful help

Little update from my side. Seems like the slow repair didn´t solve the problem. Yesterday I had no chance of getting in the cockpit. What worked for me was to kill the metashaders2 folder.

Since this patch, I've also been experiencing issues with the loading screen, where the bar doesn't move even a millimeter. I've removed the game's mods and checked the integrity, but there's been no change. I can't play the game, even when loading missions or instant actions.

Please make a new thread and attach your dcs log.

remove all unofficial mods if any and run a slow repair or verify if steam

thanks

非公式MODがある場合はすべて削除し、低速修復を実行するか、Steamで検証してください。

I'll try deleting the metashaders2 folder mentioned above.
If that doesn't solve the problem, I'll post a log.
Would it be better to start a new thread instead of replying to this one?
Thanks.
