Marmusman Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 ~S~ all! My mission editor is doing all kinds of wonky things, resulting in needing to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get the program to end becuase I cannot exit the mission editor. I open the mission editor, try to place a plane on the map, the detail window opens up on the right side like usual, but i cannot place anything on the map. i click and nothing happens. The right details window then goes to half size, deleting the bottom portion where waypoints and weapons get inputed. I try to exit the misison editor....it asks me to save the file, i say "no" or "yes"...either way nothing happens and I am stuck in an infinite loop of saking to save or not. I can "cancel" but can do nothing int he mission editor. I then need to CNTL-ALT-DEL to end the program. At the start, I can open an existing mission file, but then all the same happens when I try to save, resulting in CNTL-ALT-DEL. Just curious if anybody else has had this problem. I read in a post that the SavedGames/DCS folder should be renamed or deleted.....I have tried that and always results in save issue. Perhaps a re-install of entire game is the only solution? Thanks in advance.
ajax Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Yes, I have had this problem at least twice. Repair would not fix it. I had to re-install from scratch. Since then I maintain a complete working copy of the DCS folder. If I get it again, I will copy everything back to the original. I don't know if that will work but it should.

I will try a re-install. I hope I remember to keep copies of all the important config files, LOL! I always seem to miss one.
Marmusman Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Re-install worked. I may have crossed files with some older versions causing the error....or that would be my guess.
