SharpeXB

I did update the motherboard BIOS at the start of this trouble. Other games are crashing now too so not just DCS.

Tried it plugged into the wall, still crashed DCS250211-1.zip

I’m going to try plugging the machine directly into the wall and bypassing my surge protector. The Mem Test was run on the surge protector. For those others: - Disable Game Mode and Disable Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling: These are easy enough to test but I’ve been running the game with those enabled for years so I’m not sure why they’d suddenly cause a problem - Disable Core Isolation: Don’t know how to do this nor probably want to mess with it. - In the BIOS, set Min/Max Cache Ratio to "Auto", if you have such an option: BIOS is set for Optimized Default. Prefer not to mess with that - Ensure Windows Power mode is set to High Performance: This is done - Ensure no drive is full or nearly full (especially your system drive and your DCS drive): Drive is not full - Disable HPET: I understand hyperthreading is supposed to be enabled for this CPU. In any case again I rather not mess with that.

They admit guilt by putting a better connector on their next card I got to experience this one firsthand and now I’m the owner of the world’s most expensive drink coaster.

No memory errors found

The 5 series cards can also use the improved 12V-2x6 design. Definitely a worthwhile replacement if you’re going that route.

Turned off the mem overclock, still crashed dcs250210-2.log Events250210-2.evtx

I just tried the Preload Radius at 60,000 but it still crashed. I'll try the oc next

I’m so excited too!!!!! OMG someone made a 3D model! Only seven or eight more years till it’s done

Crashed in SP again but no core was at 100%. I have tried cleaning out my fxo and metashader 2 folders already. I have not tried disabling the memory overclock (DOCP) yet The problems started when I updated to 2.9.12.5336.1 Events250210-1.zip

Happens in SP too dcs.zip

This has happened on two different servers. I did an update of my BIOS and ran that Windows Memory Diagnostic but it didn’t produce any result in the Event Viewer. Other games run fine. I haven’t been able to check DCS single player yet though. DCS is simply quitting to the desktop, not freezing or anything. I am wondering if these servers have updated to the most recent version of the game since that only included SP Campaign improvements. That could cause a crash I imagine.

another crash on the same server dcs250209.log

You may be experiencing a problem that’s inherent to the spotting dot system. At some size or range they’ll inevitably disappear causing the bandit to “vanish”. On a 32” 1440p screen you should easily be able to see targets without the dots. Try playing with them off and look at the actual 3D model instead.

I think the camera might be too low when attached to the bottom of a screen. When you look up it’s possible that it could lose sight of the reflectors. But it’s certainly possible to make adjustments to the tracking. Why not just mount it to the top of the screen? I guess you are worried about it falling off.

The idea of paid training for a video game is beyond ridiculous. There are so many groups or squadrons someone could join if they want some sort of feedback or interaction.

Sorry but the idea of paying someone to teach you a DCS module is ludicrous I can’t believe there are people out there who ask to be paid for this When I got the A-10 module 12 years ago I knew completely nothing about aircraft at all. I read the manual on my iPhone and taught myself. Plus there are just tons of videos and tutorials out there. This is just a game too it’s not as if you’re training to be a real pilot or anything.

You realize the idea behind the free trial is that you eventually buy the module, not just get a continually free game. If you want to get better at flying any of these the best way is to buy them.

My It looks to me like the log contains a lot of game related items: 2025-02-07 00:50:05.760 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): Can't open model Ural-375_p_1. 2025-02-07 00:50:05.760 ERROR woCar (Main): can't load destroyed model 'Ural-375_p_1' for '1L13 EWR' 2025-02-07 00:50:05.787 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): Can't open model Ural-375_p_1. 2025-02-07 00:50:05.787 ERROR woCar (Main): can't load destroyed model 'Ural-375_p_1' for '55G6 EWR' 2025-02-07 00:50:05.801 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): Can't open model Ural-375_p_1. 2025-02-07 00:50:05.801 ERROR woCar (Main): can't load destroyed model 'Ural-375_p_1' for '1L13 EWR' 2025-02-07 00:50:05.817 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): Can't open model Ural-375_p_1. 2025-02-07 00:50:05.817 ERROR woCar (Main): can't load destroyed model 'Ural-375_p_1' for '55G6 EWR' 2025-02-07 00:50:05.832 ERROR GRAPHICSVISTA (Main): Can't open model Ural-375_p_1. 2025-02-07 00:50:05.832 ERROR woCar (Main): can't load destroyed model 'Ural-375_p_1' for '55G6 EWR'

Yes it’s very likely the increased resolution that’s causing the performance drop. If all other settings and such are unchanged.

Isn’t it amazing though what that much money bought you then compared to today. The idea that things are so much “more expensive” today needs to take into consideration how much more these things do and how many more people can have access to them. In 1984 only 8.2% of US households had a home computer vs 90% today.

When I was in high school that was a $7,500 computer! Absolutely!

Oh yeah good point. The software will reveal the light sources and your reflectors if you switch the setting to show those. They’ll appear as red blobs with NaturalPoint.

You can get the TrackClip Pro which has LED lights and so isn’t affected by light sources https://www.trackir.com/accessories/
