I will do that; thanks again for your help, man; saved me from pulling my hair out tonight when I get back home after Thanksgiving dinner hahaha.

Thanks so much. It was definitely an operator error on my part. You totally fixed it. I joined a random server, and it loaded up just fine like it used to. Sorry to all of you for being so rude and obnoxious with my initial post. I was not expecting a response, and you guys came through. Thanks so much!!

Just applied these changes, will try and join a server as soon as I can. I'm not running an antivirus for that reason, and yes, both the page file and DCS are on an SSD NVMe. I will keep you updated. I'm about to find out. I'm going to change some settings around at Sleighzy's recommendation and see what happens.

I do have 32 GB of RAM. I don't think that is the issue, but I could be wrong. Sorry for not including that in my initial post.

Yeah I totally get it man, thats my bad 100%. Not an excuse for being like that but I was extremely mad at the time of the post and wasn't thinking. Sorry. I do have 32 GB of RAM, and I was trying to join 4YA Caucus US1 first, then tried, I believe, Greyflag after. I had the same issues on both servers, maybe its the servers having too many things going on for my PC to handle. My specs are: RTX 3070, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, Ryzen 7 2700x, and the game is located on my C drive, which is an NVMe SSD. That sounds good. I am 1/4th through my repair. I will post a new log once it is done. I have no mods installed; I just purchased the vanilla planes. Thanks for being willing to help, even though my initial post was less than ideal. Thanks, and sorry.

Here is my DCS log file (I cant find my dxdiag looked through my C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS folders and didn't see it) My specs are as follows: RTX 3070, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, Ryzen 7 2700x, and the game is located on my C drive, which is an NVMe SSD. Sorry for my initial post being so angry. I was frustrated and worked up after trying to join a server four separate times, only for it to crash to the desktop or freeze. Thanks for your willingness to help even though I came off rude. Sorry agian. dcs.log

I left DCS a few months ago when I started school again. Now that I have more time on my hands, every time I join a server, it is completely unplayable for at least 30 minutes (I wish I was exaggerating) because of extreme lag. This has never happened before, and I can only assume it's because the developers messed something up. I am infuriated by this as I will load for 30 minutes and then spontaneously crash the game. FIX THIS ED. This is unacceptable after the amount of money I have sunk into your game. Is anyone else having this issue?
