hello. thanks for making another topic.

i suggest going into DCS folder in Saved Games. Find the options.lua file. open it in Notepad within that file find the line ["launcher"] = true, and change to ["launcher"] = false,

see if DCS opens.

Delete your Saved Games\DCS\launcher.sqlite3 file and start DCS again.

silverdevil's change would have disabled the launcher completely, you can turn it back on again in the game settings, might be under the Misc. tab. My solution was to delete the broken file causing this, if you turn the launcher back on again it should work as expected now.

@Raviar @sleighzy sleighzy's fix is likely the true fix for the issue. you should give sleighzy the solution; while my suggestion was merely a stage in troubleshooting. i still use the launcher on my system. but only to get into the sim. all it does for me is some promotional visuals and delays me getting into the sim. as suggested you can go into that file and revert back to true to test.
