I've found the good old trick with preloading aircraft in single players still works.

Yes, both DCS:World folders are in exclusion in MS Defender.

Not sure why Images Shop could cause freezes when In the log I can clearly see it alway freezes at loading some aircraft's .dll file.

Freezes are back like in good old time. dcs.log Note: There are absolutely no issues in single player mode.

"Finally" Since the last time only changes were: Installed Steam Installed Thrustmaster Dual throttle direvs and mounted those into powered USB hub Installed Virpil Moongoos Stick Set View center button on joystick button in the TrackIR software Adjusted special settings for prop planes (take-off assists set to 0) Adjusted trim modes for helicopters (central position trimming mode, no rudder trim, microswtitch in Mi-24 only to button) Set english cockpit for most aircrafts Assigned controls dcs.log

This is off-topic. Yes, the .miz is pack file which contains subfolders, e.t.c..

Quite sure it is not trackir issue because I already have installed the latest TrackIR driver

BTW I did not have Afterburner.

After like 20 attemps I am not able to reproduce gain. At one point it looked like it wasn't actually starting, but after a minute and a half it did. Something must be different after the clean system installation. There are few changes like turned off some tasks in background: Samsung Magican software, Sonic Suite Companion, Nvidia tray icon,... But the main difference is the drives are no longer remapped under VMD (IRST Raid controller) So I don't know what now. You may ask Flia to reproduce. Edit: I don't have installed all peripheral drivers yet. Edit 2: I will post the log once I will be able to reproduce again.

MS Defender. Entire DCS:W folder is in the antivirus exception list.

It is literally the same. Once I slot in, it works until I disconnect and go in another server. Then it is again 50/50. But more likely it freezes forever. Today I've finished clean system installation so later I will check how's the game running without any special system tweaks.

Bit offtopic: DCS:W sometimes runs well, sometimes it stutters for no reason. 90% of stutters are solved by disabling core parking on my system. But sometimes I have to restart the whole game to get smooth frame rate. Now back to issue: After installing Nvidia App back the issue appeared again. But still it can be fluke. I have to uninstall it and make like more attemps to be really sure. If there were people here with the same or similar problem and could try it, it would be a lot easier.

I don't think it's that. I purposely tried connecting to Shadow Reaper's and got to a regular static slot without freezing. As I wrote, I strongly suspect the Nvidia App is doing it. Because every time I've tried to take a video of the game crashing via the Nvidia App, the game has literally never crashed as if on purpose. But when I turned off the recording, the problem came back. Thus, I got the idea to uninstall the Nvidia App, and the problem disappeared. Now I've tried reinstalling it back, and I'm trying to see if the problem has returned or not.

O.k. Now I am like 90% sure it is caused by Nvidia App https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/software/nvidia-app/ I'm not sure if I should start a new thread on this topic.

Please try to uninstall Nvidia App if you have it.

@silverdevil Do you have GeForce Experience or Nvidia app? Looks like once I uninstalled the Nvidia App, it stopped freezing. I have to try it about 50 more times to be sure.

Yes. I tried to run slow repair. My personal opinion is the Issue is most probably in the "aircraft select" window. Because every time I reset the filter or switch to another plane, the game freezes every time. But every time it comes back on within a few seconds. It just always depends on the first selection. If that one doesn't freeze, then everything works relatively normally.

This is how the crash looks like: When I clicked by mouse on A-10CII, the game had frozen with not-responding message. Waiting solves nothing. Tried to wait like 10 minutes. Here is the full debug log: dcs.log This is where the freeze happens:

As if on purpose, when I try to take a video of the game crashing (by Nvidia App), the game never crashes.

O.k. TrackIR nor any controller have no effect on the issue. I tried to select aircraft in MP session with all devices unplugged, but crash still occurs.

I've noticed that TrackIR5 often crashes when the game crashes. Could this be related?

Yes. Check my other posts. It looks like this is how DCS load MP missions.

It seems to help prevent freezing after setting the filter in the aircraft selection to wait 10-20 seconds before clicking on the machine.

New attemp. Before starting the game the "tracks" and "logs" folder deleted Tried different server than before. dcs.log

For the next test I deleted the whole tracks folder and logs folder. Now the game definitely crashed. Here is the log: dcs.log
