Are there any e-shops selling FC3 apart from DCS? Other modules are sold in many other places, but I cannot find anyone selling FC3...

I just noticed that everytime I run DCS Repair, it downloads 1,7 MB of something and says "Updates applied successfully". Is this normal?

So most likely it's caused by not enough RAM, not the graphic card. Maybe it's also caused by some kind of memory leak - I don't know why multiplayer missions should take much more memory than singleplayer.

There will be no AFM for Su-27 and F-15C in FC3?

And how much RAM do you have, IvanK?

Ok, so now go get some graphic card with 512 MB and plenty of RAM, and try to reproduce it :smilewink: No seriously, I would really appreciate if I knew whether I should buy more RAM or better graphic card...

GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB

Alright, just did a little test - I watched the RAM usage during A-10C flight. In Single player during the Instant Mission Builder flight (lots of airborne and ground targets), I had about 80% of RAM used. But in Multiplayer, quickly after joining the server, the amount of used RAM quickly jumped to about 90%. When I was starting up the plane, RAM usage was steadily rising to 95%, then it crashed. So perhaps it has something to do with memory. That would explain why it didn't crashed so much with Su-25T (less complex plane). I'm quite surprised, because 4GB of memory are in Recommended system requirements of all modules!

As far as I know, when I run out of physical memory, the system should start using the page file on harddrive... It should not crash to desktop...

OK, a little summary - the crashes occur: Only in Multiplayer On different servers Never with Su-25T, sometimes with Ka-50, very often with A-10C When no significant event happened. It could be in flight, when attacking or even before startup My system specs are upper on the page. I updated graphic card drivers, what other drivers I should update?

The same as IvanK, Windows 7 64 bit.

It seems that with A-10C, it crashes much more often, I got two very fast crashed after the first one above (again edObjects.dll), and then I tried another server, where it lasted running for 15 minutes, then it crashed, but this time the wrong module was wRadio.dll. There's the crashlog: # -------------- 20130807-192312 -------------- # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at EFCC446F 00:00000000 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 EFCC446F 002EF3C0 0000:00000000 ?startMessageTransmition@wCommunicator@@MEAAXAEBV?$Ptr@VwMessage@@@Mem@@@Z()+6F EFCC6EA8 002EF400 0000:00000000 ?startTransmition@wCommunicator@@MEAAXXZ()+88 EFCC15A6 002EF430 0000:00000000 ?updateStatus@wReceivingMessageData@@QEAAXXZ()+66 F4708561 002EF4C0 0000:00000000 F4708A1B 002EF510 0000:00000000 3F6557C9 002EF5A0 0000:00000000 3F6581BD 002EF600 0000:00000000 3F66E444 002EF630 0000:00000000 3F66E31B 002EF660 0000:00000000 3F702AC8 002EF6D0 0000:00000000 3F70407E 002EFCD0 0000:00000000 3F706CCB 002EFD80 0000:00000000 774C652D 002EFDB0 0001:0001552D C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 776FC521 002EFE00 0001:0002B521 C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll RtlUserThreadStart()+21 I really don't know why it's happening just to me, just for sure there's my PC specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2800 MHz overclocked @ 3400 MHz A-DATA Extreme DDR2 800 4 GB GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB, overclocked 650/1600/950 MHz WD3200AAKS 320 GB But problably when it's running OK in single player, I think that problem would be somewhere else...

I tried updating drivers for the graphic card, removing my ReadyBoost flash drive, none of that seems to work... Yesterday I bought A-10C, and it's the same, first online flight and after 30 seconds in the cockpit edObjects.dll crash.

The multiplayer menu (server list) seems too simple for me... It should at least have possibility to order the servers by number of players, name, etc. - not only ping by default. It would be also useful to review basic server settings - for example disabled external views.

Nope, 64bit.

When I turn on "Cockpit Shadows" in the options, the cockpit remains without dynamic shadows. Why? My PC: Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2800 MHz overclocked @ 3400 MHz A-DATA Extreme DDR2 800 4 GB GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB, overclocked 650/1600/950 MHz WD3200AAKS 320 GB

Just to keep you updated, the random crashes are still present even on version 1.2.5 Update 2.

After installing 1.2.5 Update 2 it still shows 0 kills, same problem on my side. Can we expect this bug to be repaired in next few days? I recently bought Black Shark 2 and now I don't have any reference on how I'm doing in campaigns!

I was flying the Black Shark, for the first time it happened when i was starting the helicopter, and second time in flight. However, I don't think it was caused by certain user input...

I repaired it, but it just happened for the third time, and this time totally different log: http://textsave.de/P2J

It's maybe a little off topic, but is there a list of all addons being developed for DCS? With release estimates and so on?

This is the complete log file: http://textsave.de/F2J It happened on 2 different servers...
