When DCS did not hang on me, that mission was not quite as slow to load as in your video but it did take a while for the textures on the ship to load as yours did.

That is it. What is strange is that I flew that mission several times and it did not begin to make DCS hang until this past weekend.

Ok. Understood on the pagefile. I downloaded the mission from DCS downloads website, and the name of it is Hormuz_Islands_Dispute_CAP_Supercarrier_save_2.

No MODS in the mission or anywhere in DCS. Please remember that I have 32 GB of ram and I still have 32 GB of ram pagefile.

Thanks for the advice. I found out that this only happens now with one mission, which is weird because that mission used to load just fine. Do I leave the pagefile setting at 32 GB or do I switch it back to where Windows controls it automatically?

It hangs at the exact same spot. And when I say it hangs, it reaches the point of "Wait for pooled tasks - 1" and it just sits there. I let DCS sit there for over 20 minutes and it eventually tells me that DCS has quit responding when I move the mouse. dcs.log dcs.log.old

First of all, before I forget to write it here, there are no Mods in my DCS install. It doesn't matter if I run DCS or DCS MT (both are stable versions and not beta), it always hangs at the "Waiting for Pool Tasks" - 1 stage (I hope I got the name of the stage right). It did load a mission once out of 6 hangups - or crashes - whatever term you want to use. I cannot even take a screenshot. It was running great 24 hours ago. I have ran Repair DCS World twice, once with the Check modified files setting, and once for the Check all files setting. It finishes both times and it says that DCS has been repaired successfully. I have rebooted the PC twice (after running DCS Repair) and that does not help, DCS still crashes at the same stage. My specs are: i7-13700F - 32GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB - 2TB NVMe SSD - Windows 11 I don't know what to do. So help would be greatly appreciated. DCS log is attached. dcs.log.old dcs.log

SharpeXB, Thank you so much! I did what you said and everything works now, and the FPS are smooth as glass! Tango777

Thanks for the replies here, they helped somewhat. I have dialed many settings way down and I am getting a type of stuttering effect, and I do not know why. I am still in the F-18, so it is not like a graphics hog like the F-14. I am attaching my settings a screen shot of my settings. This is a new pc and it is light years ahead, and has so much more "horsepower", of my old pc and my old pc did not have this stuttering type effect: i7-13700F - 32GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB - 2TB NVMe SSD - Windows 11

So it chooses to blur when outside the airplane but not blur objects from inside the airplane? Why do the fps take a massive hit when DLSS is turned off? I am attaching a screenshot.

I just did and it is set to Quality which is the lowest setting.

I have the majority of the settings set pretty high compared to where they were set at after I installed DCS, but even though my computer handles DCS or DCS MT without any hit to the FPS regardless as to how high the settings are with DLSS turned on, things still look blurry (similar to heat blur behind the engines) UNTIL I zoom in or get close to an object. This also happens in the cockpit because if I zoom in on some instruments, then the blurry effect almost goes away. When I turn DLSS off the blur goes away if I am in the cockpit but the FPS takes a huge hit. All graphics from inside the cockpit are great, but when I switch to an outside view the graphics are horrible except the airplane as the airplane looks great. But the ground and sky from an outside view are as if I have all graphic settings set to the lowest possible setting possible and the FPS are still getting hammered as if I have every setting turned to the max. I have tampered around with the settings the best I know how and I cannot get this annoying visual problem figured out. If anyone can point me in the right direction as to what is causing this, I would be very grateful! My specs are: i7-13700F - 32GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB - 2TB NVMe SSD - Windows 11

Do you happen to have a ballpark as to when the next stable DCS update is scheduled?

This is a very different problem. The previous problem was DCS hanging upon mission loading at World Preload 1/60. That problem was fixed in the latest stable DCS release. This problem causes DCS to hang just before the F14 hits the water. I don't know how I could get a log when DCS has hung.

I now have the latest stable version of DCS that updated today and when the F14 crashes DCS hangs. The screen remains in the current view, in my case the cockpit. There isn't 1 key on the keyboard that makes DCS respond. Escape key on the keyboard does not do anything, even if I let DCS sit there (looking at the instrument panel in my case) for 5 minutes. Technically I do not witness the crash. DCS hangs just before the F14 splashes and explodes. I am just in the cockpit looking at the water outside the front of the canopy. Ctrl + Alt + Del does work, but it takes a little while for the task manager to populate, and then from there it shows that DCS is not responding. Click on end task and that is the only way to close DCS.
