Hi,

 

my auto update from DCS 1.2.4 to DCS 1.2.5 crashed and could not launch the game later.

 

Downloaded DCS World 1.2.5 but lot of corrupted files at the installation !!

Now i can no more launch the game . :mad:

 

Other people in this case ? I Have Win7 64 , DCS 1.2.4 worked fine since months !

 

Regards .

In windows go to start menu

all programs

eagle dynamics

DCS World

Repair DCS World.exe

 

Make sure to run as administrator, see if that helps.

Well, I tried in admin mode, crash again.

 

I lauched the repair module, it crashed (!!)

 

But after that, I could launch DCS WOrld and Su25 works fine. that's an absolute mystery .

 

Now I have to re install Black shark 1 then Black shark 2 module !!

I hope this will work .

 

 

Thx :)

Just a suggestion: Make backups of the entiere DCS-Installation, all config files, all third party configurations (helios profiles, HOTS config, ...).

 

Do this after every update and just before you change anything. Using an incremental backup will speed up this process (it's just a matter of minutes).

 

DCS is a complicated game and not as easy to reconfigure and install as other. So it's worth the (minor) effort.

 

A version control system for some lua-skripts would be a good idea too.

Well i re installed BS2 module and it seems to work fine .... Don't know Why DCS install crashed this morning !

 

thx all.

Well, I downloaded DCS 1.2.5 again and I could install it, no PB. I imagine first download was KO or corrupted .
