So they have still not fixed the crashing?

I have a AMD machince (a 9950 BE X4) and it crashes every time.

Here is my DXDiag text file, that contains all the system information that I can provide (I don't know much of it from memory so this was the best I could do). Hope it helps, I find it odd that it would be my systems fault considering that nothing like this happened until after I installed the latest update, not saying it is not possible but I find it unlikely.

I have no idea, but it seems to be a common error.

Still getting random CTD in every online mission. I posted the crash log in a couple of topics in the game crash subforum. I know I am not the only one experiencing this and it is pretty much a game breaker as you cannot count on finishing any missions online (I was able to finish one but it crashed as I was shutting down the plane, so it barely counts as a finish.) It seems to only happen to the clients on a server, not the host (at least in my experience), I will again post my crash log in hopes that it helps nail down this problem quickly. # -------------- 20121112-200802 -------------- # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 4007CFAE 00:00000000 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 4007CFAE 0012F350 0000:00000000 400140D4 0012F3C0 0000:00000000 400127BE 0012F520 0000:00000000 4000925E 0012F550 0000:00000000 EF238721 0012F5E0 0000:00000000 EF238BEA 0012F630 0000:00000000 400EF4D9 0012F6C0 0000:00000000 400F1DED 0012F720 0000:00000000 401099B4 0012F750 0000:00000000 401098A9 0012F7B0 0000:00000000 401908E8 0012F820 0000:00000000 40191D28 0012FD10 0000:00000000 4019471F 0012FDC0 0000:00000000 77B6F56D 0012FDF0 0001:0001E56D C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 77673281 0012FE40 0001:00032281 C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll RtlUserThreadStart()+21

This is from a mission I just ran after the update (the one today) # -------------- 20121112-200802 -------------- # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 4007CFAE 00:00000000 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 4007CFAE 0012F350 0000:00000000 400140D4 0012F3C0 0000:00000000 400127BE 0012F520 0000:00000000 4000925E 0012F550 0000:00000000 EF238721 0012F5E0 0000:00000000 EF238BEA 0012F630 0000:00000000 400EF4D9 0012F6C0 0000:00000000 400F1DED 0012F720 0000:00000000 401099B4 0012F750 0000:00000000 401098A9 0012F7B0 0000:00000000 401908E8 0012F820 0000:00000000 40191D28 0012FD10 0000:00000000 4019471F 0012FDC0 0000:00000000 77B6F56D 0012FDF0 0001:0001E56D C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 77673281 0012FE40 0001:00032281 C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll RtlUserThreadStart()+21

Here is the latest crash report from a mission I just ran after the most recent autoupdate (the one that happened today). # -------------- 20121112-200802 -------------- # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 4007CFAE 00:00000000 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 4007CFAE 0012F350 0000:00000000 400140D4 0012F3C0 0000:00000000 400127BE 0012F520 0000:00000000 4000925E 0012F550 0000:00000000 EF238721 0012F5E0 0000:00000000 EF238BEA 0012F630 0000:00000000 400EF4D9 0012F6C0 0000:00000000 400F1DED 0012F720 0000:00000000 401099B4 0012F750 0000:00000000 401098A9 0012F7B0 0000:00000000 401908E8 0012F820 0000:00000000 40191D28 0012FD10 0000:00000000 4019471F 0012FDC0 0000:00000000 77B6F56D 0012FDF0 0001:0001E56D C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 77673281 0012FE40 0001:00032281 C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll RtlUserThreadStart()+21 I have no idea what any of this means and I can post the four other crash reports if needed.

Same here, this sim is broken in this state, I cannot play online with the knowledge that it is not a matter of if it will crash but when. This needs to be fixed ASAP, I really hope they have a hotfix in the works that will clear this up, it was working perfectly fine in 1.2.1.

You don't need to be good at A-10C overnight, it is a great sim and worth putting a little bit of time here and there into it. You see, A-10C is more about the learning process than it is about playing a game, I have been playing for about a year now and there is still so much stuff to learn and I would not have it any other way. Give it some time, you don't need to devote hours upon hours a day, just learn one thing at a time and it will all come together. I would be more than happy to help you learn things more quickly, I enjoy teaching folks how to fly in the sim.

Okay, I downloaded the update using the auto-updater, everything seemed to be working fine (aside from massive loading time increases for the Ka-50) until I started a mission online with a buddy (who also used the updater). After about 20 minutes on his server, my game (and only mine) crashed to desktop, it seemed odd so I asked a friend who said that he experienced something like it and just reinstalled from scratch. I uninstalled DCS World and reinstalled using the newest downloadable versions, my buddy did the same thing and we then tested the online stablitiy again, this time, it waited about 40 minutes and crashed to desktop, no warning, no nothing ,just a crash to desktop. I am about to test it again with a different mission but I imagine that I will get the same results, if so, it must be something wrong with the sim because it worked perfectly in the previous version.

You are about 2 gigs short of the minimum spec on RAM, your graphics card will not be able to handle this sim at all. Both lock on and Falcon are much older and less demanding games.

That is interesting, I had no idea. I would much rather a nice DCS version of the F-15C over the cardboard cockpit we have in FC3.

Same here, they are going to need to throw us a bone soon because with the rise of 3rd party support, our dollars can only go so far and they need to give us something to look forward to. ED needs to strike while the iron is hot, waiting to long will mean that they have to deal with a market saturated by 3rd party offerings (and few of them look very promising).

It was Sakhumi (sp?) if I remember correctly.

Before the update, I was getting very low load times but after the update (and only for the Black Shark it seems) my loading times (both when I am waiting to get to the aircraft select screen and when I hit fly) have gone through the roof. I am not talking about a few extra seconds, it went from about fifteen seconds of loading screen and maybe five or ten after I hit fly to about 2 minutes on the loading screen and sometimes 2 and a half after I hit fly. This is getting absurd, it ran perfectly in that last version, why should this be any different?

My neighborhood barely got hit, I spent the entire weekend in terror of this thing and we did not even lose power. Can't say I am upset but I was shocked that it all but missed me.

I have not touched the editor since DCS A-10C 1.1.1.1, I recently tried a old mission I made with the new version of World and it did not seem to trigger unit spawns correctly, is something different? Okay, here is the setup, I place a group of units on a road, when you blow up another target, I want them to spawn and follow the waypoints, in the old version, you had to change the start time for them or else they would spawn immediately on mission start, so you would just change the day setting to 1 or something like that. Now that no longer seems to work at all, I set up the trigger and everything seems okay but they don't spawn at all, I made sure I changed the time setting (a day later) so that they would not spawn immediately but it seems something has changed. So, how do I set up a group to spawn when you kill another group?

I just ran a mission I made months ago with a buddy of mine, in this mission, you must blow up a rather large bridge to stop some forces from reaching a downed helicopter crash site. When we ran this mission in A-10 1.1.1.1, the bridge would blow after two GBU-38's, we just dropped three in DCS World and it did nothing at all. Not calling this a bug, perhaps they are stronger and if so, what should I use to blow them?

Before World came out (version 1.1.1.1 of both A-10C and Black Shark 2), I was getting very good framerates on mostly medium settings (with some at high) on my AMD 9950 Black edition X4 (2.6Ghz), 8 gigs of ram and a aging Geforce 9800 GT (512 MB), sure it stuttered on the ground but once I took off, it ran like butter. When I installed World (the first version), I was shocked, it barely ran and often would turn into a slideshow (below 10 FPS) for no reason at all, I immediately posted about it on this very subforum and was told that "at least a 2gig video card is practically required" by another user, this did not feel right to me. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I managed to get a 7770 2GB card, I slapped it in and did notice a immediate improvement but it still stuttered a bit, it did not feel like framerate issues, it kinda feels like the stuttering you get with Cliffs of Dover, yeah, that kind of problem. With the latest patches, it seems to run better, I get overall smoother performance but it still is not enough, if you get a severe framerate hit when you deploy weapons or destroy targets in a COMBAT sim, then something is wrong and it needs to be fixed. I know that many on this forum have all kinds of money to throw at top of the line components for their rigs, I don't and I am sure that many on this forum don't either, my computer should be able to handle this sim at the settings am using without massive framerate drops during explosions and other such effects. What makes this very silly to me is that the new effects don't even look that good, I mean, they still look pretty basic (not that it bothers me, I personally don't need Michael bay effects), the cost in overall performance is simply not worth the quality of effects at this point. I know they are fixing things as we speak, I hope that they continue to make performance a priority, I just hope that they iron all this out and make it playable on a variety of systems and not just for those with enough money to throw at a monster rig.

I agree, this needs to be in DCS world, does it work okay?

There is a difference between "my crysis and BF3 runs smooth but DCS can't" and DCS ran well in one version but after a patch it barely works, a big difference.

This is looking more and more like a engine issue and not a issue with systems that folks use, I really hope it is a simple fix that ED can implement that will allow this to work as well as the previous versions (DCS A-10C and BS2). Frankly, I think they should dial back some of the things that are causing issues (the particle effects seem to hurt even high end systems and that is not really good at all.) I just hope ED has something to say about this beyond the usual "get a better video card" or other such nonsense.

I have recently defragged, I run very, very few background programs (just steam, freetrack and teamspeak, everything else is basic system stuff). The thing is, I can't seem to nail down this problem at all, performance never seems to increase even when I lower the settings in game, I have already turned many things off or switched them to "application controlled" in my Nvidia control panel. I am not talking about a small framerate hit between A-10C 1.1.1.1 and DCS world, I am talking about the difference between running very smooth (no real framerate issues at all once in the air and expected framerate hits on the ground) to a unplayable slideshow, this makes no sense unless they have upped the overall texture resolution on _everything_ in the sim. So, I have tried everything that I can do on my end and it seems that my dreams of flying the upcoming DCS Mig-21 Fishbed (my favorite aircraft in the world) are dashed because of either a bug or something else. Looks like I will be hanging up my wings until I can either, A.) Download a patch or hotfix that may or may not come in the future and might not even address my issue (and the issue that others seem to be having also!) or just hope that I can someday buy new parts in the hope that they will make the a difference. I doubt I will be buying new parts any time soon though. C'mon ED, you gotta know t his is going on!

I run the sim at 1280-1204 on a 17 inch monitor, I don't think I am running some sort of extreme resolution, the performance simply should be better. That said, the minimum requirements have not changed between DCS A-10C 1.1.1.1 and DCS world 1.2, I suspect that there is a optimization problem for some cards or something because the performance hit only really happens when I turn on the TGP or the MAV, any other time and it is smooth as butter. Something is not right and it is not the fact that I am not running with a 2gig card.

I am sorry, I don't buy that at all. The fact that I was able to run this sim with my card before is a good indication that I should be able to run it still, I don't see where I would need a 2 gig card. Also, I can't afford a new card so acting like I can just go out and buy a 2 gig card (and insulting the quality of my current rig) is really kinda rude. You are more than welcome to buy me a better card if you seem to think it is so easy to afford (I am unemployed and stuck in the state with nearly the worst unemployment in the country).
