Hi all, I would like to fly with a friend. I have forwarded the Ports (10308 in TCP and UDP) I have defined new rules in windows firewall for incoming and outgoing data. My friend could find my server in the server list but can't join. He will always returns to the serverlist. He can host a game and I can join. We are not able to find the reason. I had mods, but I deleted the saved games dcs folder and recreated a new with starting dcs. Still the same issue. Does anymone have an idea?

Last update: My old graphic card was the reason. It had some malefunction (maybe because of an incorrect working PSU?) It destroyed partly the PCI Slot on the new mainboard. An older Graphic crad is working now (4 Lanes instead of 8 lanes). Will need a new mainboard and new graphic card. What a .... Thank you all for your support. Bye Travelbob

So we are still invastigating. It might be a combination of wrong working PSU (530W) AND (?) GPU. A simple graphic card works fine. PC has no problems. (no games though) A different graphic card (Radeon 5700xt) and same problems as with old card: screen stays black and warning tone 1 long and 2 short. The Radeon works stable in a different PC. We will check next week the GTX 970 with a new PSU (700W) as well with the Radeon. Unfortunately I can't test the 970 with the PC of my friend. We will see what's happening. If you are interested I will let you know. It seems that i will have to pause DCS for a while....

It seems that it was always the gpu. Pc suddenly went off. Completely off. After cmos reset the pc starts but screen stays black and 1x short and 2 long warning tones signals that the gpu is broken. I really hope that nothing else is broken and I will have to wait until I find a new gpu. Hopefully a test tomorrow with a card from a friend clarifies that everything else is still OK. (I am prayin)

PCIE is Auto PBO I didn't find I reduced the GPU 10% but still crashes I have just a 530W PCU... too small now?

you mean this: AllocatedBaseSize=5120 CurrentUsage=11 Description=C:\pagefile.sys InstallDate=20210720205838.306143+120 Name=C:\pagefile.sys PeakUsage=13 Status= TempPageFile=FALSE I found on E: a pagefile.sys E: is an old HDD Should I delete it?

So, I did the dxdiag log. Maybe you find something. Thank you very much! DxDiag.txt

Yes. I did it in the windows registry. I will do the other thing later. I am busy today.

it looks like it is always a different thing... Now i had a freeze/crash with minimum settings.... dcs.log

yes, you could say FREEZE as well. I have the same like Ike: "I cannot exit the game at that point anymore, open up Task manager or anything. Only a hard system master reset works for a full reboot of the system." I can fly and out of nothing the screens turns black or sometimes pink or similar and I still can hear noises from the plane, but the sim crashes and I have to reset to restart the PC. I did changed the TdrDdiDelay and TdRDelay only in the GraphicDrivers registry. What do you mean with register keys?

Hi Guys, since stable 2.7 I only have problems. Before 2.7 I could play with my old I3 -7350K, 16GB RAM and a GTX 970 DCS without any problems. Even VR with the Quest2 went on low settings. With 2.7 I only have hard crashes. I now have an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8x 3.60GHz with 32 GB RAM and a new Win10 installation on a 2TB SATA 6GB / s and my old GTX 970. With minimal settings I was able to fly stable for a while after a lot of new driver installations. GPU runs on 100%. The Sim crashes again now on medium settings. What's wrong ??? Can someone help me? Here is the last log file. The GPU is certainly the bottleneck, but DCS has to be playable. I hope someone can help me. Pleeeeeeease! System: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8x 3.60GHz 32 GB RAM DDR4 2TB SATA 6GB/s NVIDIA GTX 970 DCS stable 2.7.3 No MODS DCS update/repair done fxo and metashader2 clean and I did the TdrDdiDelay & TdrDelay thing for the GraphicsDriver all Drivers updated dcs.log

Holy sh..... I said... The problem is me for sure.... Thx.

Yes, I tried both

Hi there, flying the F-18 in mission editor and in delivered stock missions I can activate and use chaffs and flairs. But I noticed when flying in donwloaded missions and campaigns (e.g. The Serpent's Head) I can activate the Chaffs and flairs but I cant fire them. I checked the individual mission in the editor, the plane has Chaffs and flairs loaded. What do I wrong or is there a known problem/bug? I am sure the problem is me. No one else claimed that problem before. But when you cant use counter measurements...you are a sitting duck for SAMs. Any help is much appreciated. Travelbob
