[CLOSED]Refund Please

Since latest patch A10-C is unplayable, crashes after selecting instant action or any 'real' missions. Training missions work fine with all graphical settings.

 

Game is broken after last patch.

 

I have posted a ticket in the DCS website two weeks ago, but obviously that isn't even checked.

 

Can anyone help? Game works fine on my rig with ALL graphical settings ONLY if I select a training mission.

 

If I select instant action or some other game option it starts the loading screens and crashes with DCS World has stopped working, game assumes mission has ended and throws an error it can't find the debriefing file.

 

Exception in eventvwr is:

 

Faulting application name: dcs.exe, version: 1.2.6.17746, time stamp: 0x5225b96f

1.2.6 is giving us all trouble friend, but it's no reason to ask for a refund. Try running DCS repair via Start > All Programs > Eagle Dynamics, it looks like that one dll file may be faulty. If it still doesn't work try installing the sim to your main drive which has Windows installed (C: ). It may help?

 

If all else fails you can revert back to 1.2.5 (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030)

 

 

"Updating or Reverting DCS World to the latest build of a Specific Version

in the Command Prompt Window

Type: DCS_Updater.exe update <version> (ie DCS_Updater.exe update 1.2.5)

The DCS Updater Box will open and begin verifying files and downloading the files for the version you specified.

 

Updating or Reverting DCS World to a Specific Sub Version:

in the Command Prompt Window,

Type: DCS_Updater.exe update <version.subversion> (ie DCS_Updater.exe update 1.2.5.16508)

The DCS Updater Box will open and begin verifying files and downloading the files for the version you specified."

What are your system specs? OS, RAM, etc...

Yup, good catch Skates, This is a known issue, I believe they are trying to address it in the next patch. Wags commented on it.

Options, Gameplay, Uncheck "Game Avionics"

 

[R4ndomResp4wn]

Thanks fellas, will try it and feed back. Of course now my shame is laid bare, totally new to this game. Forgive my frustrated OP, if the game wasn't so excellent, I wouldn't be so frustrated....

[R4ndomResp4wn]

Sorry, but i uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled.

 

Now game doesn't even start up - after choosing mission type, we expect loading screens and then 'Fly'.

 

In my case no loading screen - seems the process simply dies without logging an error.

 

Have rebooted, uninstalled etc several times. Any clues?

[Hamblue]

Yes

Uninstall

Then re-install. This time create a directory directly off of the C drive.

Like C:/DCS World. Instead of C:/Eagle dynamics/DCS World

Creating a different directory will get you around any potential registry problems that may exist.

Back before World it was a suggestion that seemed to work for some.

In addition- you might need to delete the DCS folder in your Saved games file... it isn't touched when you reinstall / uninstall.

 

Also, you may need to go into your registry and edit out the serial numbers. If you don't know how to do that I'll post the link... or just go to the 3 Rs of 126 crashes.

[R4ndomResp4wn]

Uninstalled, deleted game folder, deleted save game folder. Rebooted, re-installed.

 

Unchecked Game Avionics.

 

Works at highest graphical settings on all mission types.

 

CANCEL THAT REFUND!!!

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Glad it worked! See you in the air!
