Hi,
Yesterday Scaley and I were all setup for IQT-1. However, while logging into thee DS1, after a while I got the message, "DCS stopped working". Several times I retried. Scaley saw me logging into the DS, and then saw me disappear. Eventually we had to quit, no way I could log in.
I continued trying, to no avail. Re-installed mods, everything is correctly updated, skins, Tacview, MODS, nothing has changed since last Saturday when I flew with Gliptal.
I tried to login to a different server, same problem. So it's not DS1 related. I tried several other servers, same problem.
Then I fired up a single player mission, which loaded correctly and found myself in a cold and dark A10C cockpit.
Then I quit, and logged in to the DS, super smooth and moments later I found myself in a cold and dark A10C cockpit.
So, here it comes: is it possible that DCS uses the textures from the SP mission for the DS login, and that it sped the loading up, preventing the message "DCS stopped working"?
Is it possible that when you login to the DS directly, the texture loading takes too long for the MP environment and DCS stops the application?
Anybody familiair with this problem? Or is it related to this version of 2.1?
cheers,
Preacher
