After updating to 1.2.4 I just got a completely black screen with BS2 (I saw the briefing/Fly button but that had a blank background behind it as well) (tested with default Instant Missions).

 

I eventually fixed it by renaming my Saved Games/DCS folder so that it had to create a fresh one. Now I need to work out what I can copy back so that I don't have to setup everything again.

 

The Config folder looks OK, certainly Input anyway. I can't see anything wrong in options.lua and network.cfg should be OK. I had created a autoexec.cfg with the following contents:

 

options.graphics.maxfps = 30

options.graphics.render3D = false

options.graphics.ScreenshotQuality = 75

 

and there's a Views/SnapViews.lua (which I think was automatically created).

 

The Missions folder should be fine to copy as well and there's not really anything else worth copying (logs, screenshots) although there is a Scripts folder with export.lua in, so maybe that was the problem.

Well I haven't copied it back, so it's not present at the moment.

 

I think I only created it recently as I read that the maxfps setting had been moved from a file in the DCS installation folder to here. Not really sure why I had the other two lines in there though, although I can't see why any of them would cause a black screen.

 

Do you know where the maxfps is meant to be set now?

I'm not at all familiar with autoexec.cfg tweaks, but wouldn't 'options.graphics.render3D = false' seem to suggest that the game wouldn't render anything?

 

I thought it was something to do with 3D actually but you could be right ;)

It is a setting that is really only used on servers.
