snowbird2 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Has anyone come across this issue yet? I cannot start DCS World because of this error message. I check my applications running list and I do not see this in the list. The Multiplayer seems to start fine but not the single player sim. Any ideas? "Another Updater Instance is Running" error message.

WindWpn Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 +1 have same issue. Lost power mid update and now have this message. Is there some file that can be manually edited to reset, or perhaps a shortcut command?

H00T Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I have this error as well. In my case the updater stopped saying server was overloaded. Now DCS World will not start. Help...Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saigai Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I bumped into this problem too, as my computer crashed during update. I found that the DCS World will not start if "autoupdate.lock" exists in your saved games directory. For me, the path was: C:\Users\John\Saved Games\DCS I removed both autupdate.lock and autoupdate.cache. After this, DCS World will start again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H00T Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Brilliant! Thanks, Saigai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAJ52 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I can't start DCS using my usual desktop icon since the last patch ?? I have looked in Saved Games but could only find autoupdate.cache which I removed but autupdate.lock wasn't there ?

RhineHornet Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) Hmm... despite doing the suggestion above, removing both files, I still get the error message. Oh, well, so no tank hunting this weekend with the newly purchased A-10C module... :noexpression: Any ideas very welcome!
