DCG campaigns issue
« on: February 07, 2023, 09:52:00 AM »

Hi, everyone!
All my DCG campaigns are CTD ;/
Currently, I'm using BAT 4.2.2 hotfix 4 - so it's the newest version + DCG 3.49.

Problem occurs when I am creating every DCG campaign I want to - choose for example basic DCG campaign - RN - Okinawa (some plane, F4U) and Click! > Then crash or freeze/ something like pressing Win button, when we want to check something in the desktop while playing il2 or something.
And that's all.
DCG configuration > DGen replaced, DCG campaign selected, offline career, all campaigns.ini file chose.

There are two possible causes I can think of:

1. You may have two instances of IL2DCG.exe running simultaneously. That may happen if DCG crashes for some reason.

Solution: On Windows desktop with no IL2 running press Ctrl+Alt+Del. Click Task Manager. Locate DGEN (as DCG replaces DGEN) in the apps list and kill it.

and/or:

2. You have too many skin folders in you BAT.

Solution: Go to PaintSchemes folder of your BAT and rename Skins folder (eg. Skins_Backup. Then copy the Skins folder from DCG campaign package you'd like to play to the PaintSchemes. Later on if you need skin folder for another aircraft you can copy it from Skins_Backup to Skins, or if you install another DCG campaign you can install the skins from the campaign.


If neither of these help, uninstall and reinstall DCG.

First and most important thing - Thank You for help Shakaali.
I changed paintschemes files for one from backup (mine was 6GB big, that one is 2GB only)
I deleted all DCG files. reinstalled and configured as needed. DCG knows where is il2.exe, missions > campaign > Coutry folder (UN for example) > Midway> allcamapign.dcg searched by the searcher, not find by myself in direct folder.
<<no campaigns active>>
Now, start the game. And I can see these campaigns, I'm choosing one and click to create. For first three times it worked. Now, for the fourth time it CTD again with windows error sound and popup Il2DoF/TIR Enabled Executable for modded IL2 Sturmovik 1946 does not response.




+ I turned on these campaigns. Everything was ok till I wanted to end, CTD and that crash has deleted my pilot profile completely. It was pilot profile specialy made to create DCG campaigns for safety.

Update: I think I must write about one more thing, while I'm trying to configure one more time, the DCG, I cannot find any allcampaign.dcg files by hand. Only by ,,File'' icon in dcg browser. I can see there old campaigns which now doesn't exist.... But I cannot find any old installation of dcg.

Just to make sure you start the camapign correctly. In the screen you do click the green start button to start a campaign? 



Update: I think I must write about one more thing, while I'm trying to configure one more time, the DCG, I cannot find any allcampaign.dcg files by hand.

Did you select Optional Third Party Data Folder in DCG main panel and point to desired campaign folder? If unticked, it resets to default, which is [dcg folder]/data.




Lines from the dcgerror.txt file you posted earlier indicate you skipped that part (sorry I missed that yesterday):

Code: [Select]
[2023.02.07 19:58:00.487] Campaign Data Files = D:\Il2BAT\Data\
[2023.02.07 19:58:00.487] Campaign Backup Files =

BTW, I suggest installing all DCG files in its own folder, eg. D:\Il2BAT\DCG\

It's working!!

But, to be honest, I don't know what really was the issue. I cleaned up everything in common with DCG and reinstalled it in other file, away from il2 game.
I cleaned Dgen folder by installing fresh from backup.

Thank You Shakaali, I owe You a keg of beer!! ;D

The last question: Are there any missions/campaigns not working at all in Your collection?

Probably old campaigns do not work with current version of the game, as something has changed since then

I have followed the install instructions and also followed how to create my first dcg campaign.

Sadly I get this error, I am sure it is user error as this is my first try.

murkz, that may happen with default DCG campaigns (I'm not on my gaming computer but I assume this is default campaign) in BAT as DCG is designed for unmodded IL2.  There are a lot of differences between BAT and unmodded IL2 and that may cause problems.

Thank you for the reply Shakaali.

I mistakenly thought DCG was BAT compatible, my mistake.

Murkz;
Someone smarter than me will correct me if I'm wrong but DCG looks for the vehicles/planes/objects that it "knows".  With all the mods and additions, DCG has essentially been left behind and will work with some modded games (e.g. HSFX) but BAT has gone way beyond so to speak.  Lowengrin (DCG author) stopped supporting and updating some time ago but I believe he still answers FAQs at the JG51 site (I think).

If I'm not mistaken in my understanding of how DCG works I think DCG can be made to 'catch up' as it were but it would take extensive rewriting of some or all of the .ini files within DCGs folders if I'm not mistaken.
