My (apparently unique) 1.2.3. problem

[XRay_Specs]

Hi all, I usually post on the SimHQ forums so this is my first time here. I'm a regular flyer on Eno's firehouse server.

 

I'd like to mention an issue I'm having because I'm worried that sooner or later I'm going to end up being totally unable to fly DCS on my PC.

 

Let me explain:

 

In 1.2.2, the Multiplayer desktop shortcut didn't work. The desktop loading screen would just hang there not doing anything. I didn't think it was a problem since I could go through the GUI instead, so I ignored it.

 

When I installed 1.2.3, I got the same desktop loading screen freeze for EVERYTHING. Starting Multiplayer from the desktop, Multiplayer from the GUI, Single Player from the GUI, the works.

 

:helpsmilie:

 

I'll explain what I've done so far:

Tried to install via the installer to begin with. My PC went into power save mode during the download, so it cancelled, and at this point I didn't know about the Start Menu installer command.

 

So, I uninstalled, backed up and deleted my config folder, downloaded 1.2.3. and the A-10C module, and installed those. This is when the problem appeared.

 

So I rebooted. Same problem.

 

I uninstalled, manually deleted everything from Program Files, deleted the entire DCS World "Saved Games" directory, and reinstalled.

 

What I found was, DCS World with no modules installed actually worked (I can fly the SU-25T). It's when I install A-10C that things go bad.

 

I tried a few more reinstalls, reboots and repairs, but nothing helped.

 

I also reinstalled 1.2.1 (and checked it... it worked fine) and used the auto-updater to update to 1.2.3. Again, no dice.

 

NOW HERE IT GETS STRANGE:

 

I heard someone mention forcing the registration page with L-Shift when starting Multiplayer, so I tried it.

Multiplayer worked normally. :huh:

No registration page... just multiplayer as normal. Doesn't work through the GUI. I still can't fly offline at all. This L-Shift trick seems to be working OK for now, but seriously, the threat of completely losing access to DCS is a bit of a worry.

 

Does anyone have any ideas about this? Have I done something wrong?

 

*Final pertinent information*

- I generally fly with only TS and TrackIR running in the background.

- I have a Japanese PC (I live in Japan)

- I'm running a GTX560.

- I really wanna get flying normally, guys. :helpsmilie:

 

Thanks for reading!

Hi Xray, here's solution.

The most pertinent information is Saved Games/Logs/dcs.log. Could you upload it after a failed attempt?

 

A lot of people are having trouble with virus scanners for some reason this patch. Disable all forms of virus scanners, and try again.

First, to Verana_ss, I was all ready to call you my hero 'cos when I removed English from my Language Bar I became able to enter Multiplayer without the L-Shift trick.

Unfortunately the Single Player problem remains.

 

@Speed:

Thanks for taking a look. I don't really know much about how to read the .log file, but I get the feeling this won't be very useful:

I should note that I'm having to close the program through the Task Manager each time.

Also, when the GUI comes back up, the mission debrief shows the details from my last multiplayer session.

 

Edit: About the language bar: My default language is Japanese, and I can't seem to set the system language to anything else, or set English as the default, or remove the Japanese. Could this be causing the problem?

Add both JP and EN keyboard, set EN keyboard as default language then delete JP keyboard.;)

[XRay_Specs]

It should be that simple, shouldn't it? Even when I've added English and changed the priority so English takes precedence when starting a program (so it's basically the default language), the delete button greys out when selecting Japanese. Nothings ever simple eh?

 

Thanks very much for the ideas, I've already got further with your help than I was doing on my own^^

[G00dnight]

I don't think it will allow you to delete the native language, have you tried reinstalling dcs with eng as the default.

[SkateZilla]

inplace install of windows and change default to english that way :p
