cript Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Hello to all, I create this thread because I didn't see anything similar in other posts. When I launch DCS World, it "hangs" at 13%. I must reboot computer as I cannot kill the process. After having played BS1 and A10 with different versions, I decided today that it could be a good thing to uninstall all and start a new "life" with DCS World. These BS1 and A10C 1.1.1.1. were working just fine even with my XP 32Bits. I uninstalled A10C and BS1, cleaned files and registry with CCleaner, deleted /My Games/DCS folder, deleted "Black shark" and "Warthog" entries in registry (under eagle Dynamics). I uninstalled all C++ 2010 versions with CCleaner, and then reinstalled it with the latest file ont www.microsoft.com. I updated Windows and it updated C++ 2010 to SP1. I downloaded DCS World with its torrent file. I installed DCS World without any problem. Before to install A10C (which I have) and BS2 (which I plan to buy), I want to check if everything goes fine in DCS World. The problem described at the beginning is still here, even after having tried: - the different folder names, the last install is now in the default folder - the /3GB switch or not - the reinstallation of DirectX - the uninstall and install of Microsoft C++ 2010 redistributable package Could you please help me? I don't know what to do now. You will find attached my Dxdiag report, the "me.log" file found in /My Games/DCS/Logs folder. There is no other file in DCS/Logs folder. Thank you in advance for your help! :)DxDiag_270712.txtme.zip Edited July 27, 2012 by cript No having finished message :-)

And go through this tread again to look if you missed something: TROUBLESHOOTING - Help us helping you. :) If all don't help - maybe first start a reinstall - and make sure your download was not corrupt.(I know - unlikely with a torrent...)

cript Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks! You mean I should try editing the graphics.cfg file? I mean, I cannot access to any options menu as the launcher is stuck at 13% loading. I'll try in windowed mode (fullscreen=1 I presume). By the way, do you agree that DCS World should work without any module installed? The "me.log" file seem to show errors related to A10C module. I believed DCS World could work alone, flying at least the Su25T. About the download, I'll try the ftp files. However, the installation have worked well, so I don't think the download file is the problem. See you!
PeterP Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) - this file just spits out errors - There is the " DXGUI_EDGE_RENDER" that just want to load something - nothing more - nothing less -and cant... Don't get suspicious if it is asking for a A-10 related file. It is necessary to make DCS compatible whit all modules and DCS has everything on-board without the A-10 module being installed to fly with others that have. Les say you have a mission with yourself and a IA A10....than you need also A-10 related stuff. ! Q: did you reinstalled? - and the problem is still persistent? Q: did you followed any of my advises - means : throttling everything down at the lowest setting? - going through the "trouble-shoot" thread? Q: what exact steps did you have done for debugging? Sorry- I have to ask this so exact - I have to know what you know - otherwise I cant help. - just guess. (see,- I don't only post here for the joy of posting :P:)) Edit: Maybe you wait ( or search the forum) for a response from member a similar XP related mishap. - I realise more and more each day how "long ago" XP is. :) Means: I'm a little rusty with this OS. Serious: If you want to run DCS and want to get the most out off it - you will need a win7x64 OS !! (or at least set up a dual-boot ... 32bit is soo 80ies.. :P ) Edited July 27, 2012 by PeterP
mmaruda Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Alt+Tab when launching and check if your firewall isn't blocking anything DCS related. I'm using Comodo and it did block DCS access to some dxfiles. Allowing access helped.
cript Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 Well, thanks to all :thumbup: I "found". I had forgot that I had a similar problem with A10 many months ago, with Avast antivirus. I switched off my antivirus and firewall, and it worked. Just a "habit" to have now, before playing DCS! Sorry you "lost time" with this "problem". :music_whistling:
