Have you updated recently? Open Beta is no more. ED has unified the versions, it's just Stable now. Whichever version you were on -- if you updated to the latest one, which is 2.9.3.51704 -- then you're good.

In the last 24 hours, i notice the Open Beta version on Steam does not work anymore.

The Final Version works - but that does not allow me to launch the MT version which supports DLSS and other things etc

When I launch the Open Beta version on Steam i get the following error:

"Can't run: Important files are damaged"

I have tried reinstalling and repairing but nothing works

is there any way to fix ?

"Stable" and "Open Beta" DCS are dead (long live!)
Now there is only one DCS version for all users.

So how to use DLSS ? DLSS and some other features are only available in the beta version

The exact error i get

"An error occured while launching this game : missing executable - .....\bin-mt\DCS.exe"

Are you launching from a exe shortcut?
Try launching from the Steam DLS page and look for an option to launch as MT preview.
If, you do not see a launch option then right click>properties>general settings and choose a launch preference.
Hope that works.

Hope that works.

irrespective where i launch from, if i install the Stable / Final version, there is no folder for \bin-mt\

That folder only exists in the Open Beta version

so my question is - does the Final Build even support MT ?

A valid question.
I have Steam DLS set to "open Beta" and bin-mt folder is present and MT preview launch is working.
Hope that helps.

In my experience you still have to opt in for the beta as nothing has really changed so far in terms of versions, at least on my end. As long as there's the option for the beta just use it! I guess it will get updated / merched later.

I'm on standalone (not on Steam) and yes, the latest version supports MT. If you don't have bin-mt folder then first of all check which version you are on and update or verify integrity of files, because it should be there.
