The folder is created by DCS. I would just add it manually and check that the rights & permissions match the default scripts folder, which are "System" "User" and "Administrators" have full access, that should fix the missing folder.

I would not invest too much time, ideas, hopes and finally money into the fastest RAM kit you can obtain. There are many reasons for this unless you have deep pockets and generally don't mind spending hours over hours testing between 1.46v and 1.48v...maybe that CL will hold with 0.01v more..maybe not... etc.. CPU and board play a big role on how far you can push things anyway ( faster with MHZ and lower with latency ), the more modules ( 2 vs. 4 ), the faster and lower the latency the more grey hair !. My tip, Capacity over Speed, always. Nothing is worse than too little memory in your system, nothing will fix that but more memory. The penalty in gameplay experience between 3200 and 3600 is smaller than a system with too little RAM vs. one with just enough RAM. Look at servers and Workstations, Capacity over Speed. Reliability over "the last FPS tweaked out" If you are lucky, you can tune your RAM to some nice values. But it needs luck, patience and some skills which you can learn. Just dont blame anybody if you spend a whole night booting and testing...LoL

You might find one or the other native german that doesn't know what a Bf-109 is and what it means but you will find none who doesn't know what Me-109 stands for.

Germans usually refer to it as Me-109, enthusiasts know the Bayerische Flugwerke AG origin but everybody knows Willi Messerschmitt desgined it, that's why maybe Me-109 is the one being used at the Stammtisch.....now google that one

Google or Bing is your friend Ok, here are the steps to create the task: Press the Start button and search and open Task Scheduler. Click Create basic task in the Actions pane. Set a Name and a Description for the task and click Next. Choose When a specific event is logged as the trigger and click Next. Select Application as the log, Process Exit as the source, and DCS.exe as the event ID and click Next. Choose Start a program as the action and click Next. Browse for a script file that will display the message you want. You can use PowerShell or VBScript to create the script. For example, you can use this PowerShell script: Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Remember to do these things when shutting down DCS', 'Reminder') Click Next and then Finish to create the task. Now, whenever you close DCS, you should see a popup message on your screen. I hope this helps. Is there anything else I can do for you? Hey, that's from Bing AI, not me

I personally don't expect Vulkan to arrive anytime soon after reading this thread here: see post 30th Aug '23.....still a long way to go.

I deleted Baldur's Gate II despite I loved it but it got too addictive so I cut the rope and went on. ....hasn't Baldur's Gate III been in the talks lately... I got time now...heck, it's 25 years later LoL.

That's a good reference to start with and actually the way it should be. Keep it simple, keep it sleek and only change 1 thing at a time. I can't complain about Windows Server stability as well, never could tbh, just the price tag is hard to swallow for hobby use. Maybe in the distant future we will see a native Linux based DCS core...it's hard to imagine not to go that route some point in time.

That is not what you should do ! DCS really requires some kind of SSD meanwhile and it is also stated in the minimum system requirements. Cancel that order and get a proper 1TB or bigger SSD for DCS instead. You will not like DCS on a HDD.

Watch this:

Yes, as Rudel_chw states. I ran into the same issue with my dedicated Server on my 2nd rig residing on a dedicated 256GB SSD...well...that got too small by now, either skip one or two maps or get a bigger drive. I am all for bigger drives

You are lucky with those 840 Evo's. Iirc those were a bit troublesome with the wrong firmware etc.. Raid-0 is a valid construct to leverage the combined space and also scale speed with each drive added. Done this myself and will do it again if the need arises. Just be aware of the Raid-0 pitfall...

Q1 as said before, NTFS is your only choice [unless you want to dive very deep into NAS, iSCSI Block devices, ZFS and 10Gbit networking...there are options beyond average Joe's capabilities.] Q2 means something else. You can take iirc 10% of the total capacity away and hide it from the OS NTFS and use it to keep the drive integer. I don't do it, but that's only me Q3 don't use any of the Samsung options is my best advice. Keep it simple Q4 Just DON'T. 16GB is far too little anyway and thentaking some of them to cache the drive, not a good idea. This option is only present with Sata SSD's, NVMe drives don't have this btw ( in Samsung Partition Software )

I have 10x more understanding for the module prices where they are and have been in contrast to the inflated prices for good silicon. That is a much deeper rabbit hole. I own most of DCS despite I almost retired from flying it seriously, maybe in the future when life calms down again, till then, I keep collecting and skip the GPU...LoL. Jensen, no way I play your game.

this sets the Linux time scheme to Windows scheme: timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock to revert back to Linux default, set it to 0 timedatectl set-local-rtc 0 --adjust-system-clock DCS runs fine in Linux if you can use Steam, I use Proton 8 in Steam and it basically works out of the box. I haven't managed to get TiR working yet, which is a show stopper for me. I have no idea how far VR works in Linux.

DCS crashes aside, does your PC perform without any glitches, erros and BSODs in general ? Do other games that tax the PC real hard have issues too ? Do stress tests run flawless ? If your PC quits DCS after a couple minutes, for months now, it may well be non-DCS related.

Had the exact same issue with Acronis Cyber Protect, it first killed SkateZilla's DCS Updater Tool which was a pain in itself and then, after committing myself for a full reinstall with a fresh formatted nvme I encountered even worse. The installer went fine, but when it tried to dl my 39 modules all together it said..autoupdater_log.txt can't be moved to autoupdater_old_log.txt due to access violation...grrhhh. The thing is, Acronis has more than one option to grant files, folders and processes more freedom and the third one was hidden way down and I just didnt see it, simple as that. Punched in folders, processes, the whole drive..nada ! Until I acciddently scrolled further down and saw that little button..LoL. I assume, my Typhoon Burner and SarduCD will work now as well, now that their folders exceptions are in the right spot. Bottom line, even if you suspect the right root cause, you still have to find the right handle to fix it ! Security vs./or Comfort Pick any ONE !

When you open the installer it's on the 3rd page iirc, you can choose your installation folder and drive. You have to navigate to where you want it, the usual thing as with any other program.

Took about two or three years and suddenly my Srv 2016 got deactivated. Got them on eBay years ago and they worked at first, one is still activated but I don’t trust it for the future. license was about 30-50€ per server and 50€ for a 200-User CAL. Lol

I‘d watch repair videos and listen to the guys who look at them blank and naked. Iirc more than a few cut corners on amount of phases and quality of components. Think he ( Chris Fix or NW repair ) said MSI did best for 4090.

Those keys tend to get deactivated after some time, got one myself… the proper keys don’t but it ain’t cheap to have peace of mind

Not sure, but if you don't use the Pro Clip but the passive reflectors it could be that something else is better reflecting than your clip ?! Mine only goes haywire if I smoke while wearing it, LoL, it's like popping flares

You do know how much a MS Server 2022 Std costs!? Under that impression, a 299€ price tag for a Linux module was a bargain. it’s not the most important thing, it’s also not doable in the famous 2 weeks but it does have an imminent impact on virtual squadrons budget

What I wanted to say, in other words: If you pay 28€ per month for a Windows Server 2022 Standard license on your rented dedicated Server running Windows Server 2019 or 2022 it would even make sense if ED would say, OK...we will do the dedicated Linux Server so renting a Server is cheaper for our customers...and ED could still charge for a dedicated Linux Server license and it would still be cheaper in very little time...seeing the 28€/month just for a SRV2022 lic. I am not running a DCS Server but I have had multiple dedicated Servers for various reasons incl. hosting Game Servers in the past and have run a Gaming Clan. The more you have to pay per month the more members you need or the more everyone needs to pay, monthly..or you end up paying the gap, it's as simple as that if the server runs under your name, been there done that and paid that. Linux has a big advantage here.

Too little memory from what I can read in your first log. it says multiple times „too little memory to extract….“ and similar things. @Rudel_chw you were faster
