because you are putting the DCS Install Folder Path in the Saved Games Path.
Thanks but how to fix…I cant get utility to run I deleted then ran it again with same result
Skate probably means to say that you put the wrong folder location into this field, circled in red here.
What you should put there is probably C:\Users[your name]\Saved Games\DCS
or C:\Users[your name]\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta
in my case, it is D:\Doc\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta but that is because I moved the Saved Games folder to a different drive.
EDIT: some explanation
DCS has an install or program files folder, typically in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS and a Saved Games folder, which is the one I mentioned above.
In the install folder, all files are kept that are the same for everybody: maps, simulation, default skins and missions, and the modules themselves. Everything that you get when you download DCS, or a module.
In the Saved Games folder, DCS puts everything that is different for every player: graphics and sound settings, keybinds, snapviews, custom user-made missions, custom skins.
As a bonus, most mods that add a new aircraft/boat/vehicle to the game (such as the awesome, free, fully clickable, A-4 Skyhawk) can also be put in Saved Games.
The advantage of this is that the DCS Updater can update the entire install folder without a risk of deleting any of the custom skins/missions/keybinds you made.
Thanks but I am truly stuck now as I have deleted the utility tried cleaning the registry of any traces and downloaded and ran utility again and get same result. So I cant get to the filed were I will be able to change that.
Oh, you can’t get to settings because this happens during startup?
That really sucks.
I got it sorted. I just clicked on continue and after some time (not sure how long as I ate dinner) I came back and the utility was running. I then changed the saved file location and bang…all good.
Going to play around a bit and see what up!
Thanks for the help.
delete the config files in:
/<Username>/Appdata/Local/Skate_Zilla_Graphics_Stud/
I have it working thanks!
For some reason the networking bits are broken. The below log pops up in an error box when I click the version number refresh. Obviously this box is online lol. Tool used to work perfectly before (well almost, previous version tended to b0rk the bit of its config file where it writes the window position, making it no longer display)

01.01.2019 / 1.1.0.1017:
-Adjusted Some Tool Tips
-Reduced Size Options Removed
-Adjusted Sys Tray Restore option to “Maximize” Window
-Removed Orphaned Instances Telling App to Hide / Show
-Added Presets to Save/Load Last Selected on Launch/Quit
Hey Skatezilla,
Thank you for giving us this great tool I have had a problem since todays update. I cant “Maximize” the window. It runs minimized and I cant figure out how to make it… well Big again. I cant use it like this. Do you know about this issue?
WinKey + Up is Maximize.
Ive removed the “hide from taskbar” code a few builds back
In this folder:
C:\Users\[yourname]\AppData\Local\Skate_Zilla_Graphics_Stud\DCS_Updater_Utility.exe_StrongName_eyxzuj3cktofe3uzj1jdj4xy20o4mjbq\1.1.0.1018\
You will find a file called user.config. In it is a line that goes like this:
<setting name="MainFormLocation" serializeAs="String">
<value>169, 517</value>
The values in that setting will from time to time go haywire. Like 32000, 32000. This will make the app not draw its window when it should. If you edit it back to a more sensible value such as 3, 3 the app should show up again.
It’s an older bug and I believe I have reported it earlier to @SkateZilla. I can’t for the life of me figure out the steps to reproduce, so that sucks and I’m sorry for that
p.s. @SkateZilla might we get VoiceAttack listed in the “apps launched with DCS” header?
@shurem,
Thank You sir! Works like a charm.
The position thing is weird, which is why I removed the “Hide” Command, I may add some code to the restore option to move to a 0,0 location. And check VB.net to see if anyone else has this issue.
The launch with apps section was setup for supported apps, tue next piblic build will have custom launch script though which would open up everything to be launched.
