Please could you upload your logfile following a crash so that we can have a look for clues to the cause

Heatblur have already said that the radar is a known issue and they are working on it

The logfile will be in your Saved Games folder (C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs When you are creating your forum post there should be the following option at the bottom of the message pane Either drag your logfile (dcs.log) onto there or click on choose files...

I have just launched DCS quite happily with the 555.85 drivers (also VR with a Crystal) and all Windows updates installed so it looks like it might be something in your rig

It shouldn't do - I also run VR and it works for me. Do you have any mods installed?

It is definitely bound to Jester UI Action (Short, Hold)?

What sort of mission are you trying to run? - the log I looked at generated a crash trying to generate the mission briefing

Yes I am - it will be a few days before I can do it as I am away

Interesting - i have the same headset and my wheel seemed to work fine

It is alsotheir issues tracker where people can vote in support of a post. This will give them a good idea of the issues to focus on first.

Others have had the same issue and have either done what you have done or have uninstalled the Mirage 2000. It is only some AV programs detecting this

Your VR headset / graphics card is disconnecting with an 887A0006 error. First things to try are running a repair on DCS and updating your NVidia drivers (or rolling them back) to see if that makes any difference

I would suggest raising a ticket with ED support. Your logfile has the following message at the point where your VR headset should be listed 2024-05-07 22:41:03.031 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): VRG skip, ask for support if you own VRG helmet Does the issue occur if you try the mt exe?

Do you have hot plugging of devices enabled in DCS? The bottom of the log has lots messages showing disconnect / reconnect of USB devices associated with the headset and Nvidia audio

They haven't exceeded mine

I was replying to the post above mine

Others will have a better chance of helping you work this out if you can also post details like your system specs, whether you are running MT or ST, attaching logfile and / or trackfile with the issue.

In your saved games folder (C:\Users\<your username>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta (or DCS). You should have both an fxo and a metashader folder in here. Close DCS, either delete both these folders or go into each and clear out all the files. DCS will then recreate the files it needs when it is running

This happened a few years ago to some of the A-10 callsigns and Hollywood had to make a change in Vaicom. Probably worth checking the Vaicom discord to see if this is already a known issue and if not log it

The logs confirm it is crashing at the exact point in the loading process where the graphics driver is loaded. When I start in 2D I have the following entries: ['ScreenshotExt'] = 'jpg'; }; 2024-04-14 15:21:11.962 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): render thread initialization... 2024-04-14 15:21:11.967 INFO GRAPHICSVISTA (23496): renderer: 'dx11backend.dll' 2024-04-14 15:21:12.046 INFO DX11BACKEND (23496): DX11Renderer initialization (w:2560 h:1440 fullscrn:0 vsync:0 adapter:0 monitor:0 shaderErrors:1) 2024-04-14 15:21:12.117 INFO DX11BACKEND (23496): Driver Concurrent Creates - 1 2024-04-14 15:21:12.117 INFO DX11BACKEND (23496): Driver Command Lists - 1 2024-04-14 15:21:12.179 INFO DX11BACKEND (23496): NVIDIA API init OK 2024-04-14 15:21:12.180 INFO DX11BACKEND (23496): NVIDIA Display Driver Version 55212.r552_05 where your logs are showing ['ScreenshotExt'] = 'jpg'; }; 2024-04-14 13:07:38.770 INFO EDCORE (Main): try to write dump information 2024-04-14 13:07:38.799 INFO EDCORE (Main): # -------------- 20240414-130739 -------------- 2024-04-14 13:07:38.799 INFO EDCORE (Main): DCS/2.9.4.53627 (x86_64; MT; Windows NT 10.0.22631) 2024-04-14 13:07:38.800 INFO EDCORE (Main): F:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\Visualizer.dll 2024-04-14 13:07:38.800 INFO EDCORE (Main): # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00007fff235dd6be 00:00000000 2024-04-14 13:07:38.801 INFO EDCORE (Main): SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath: 'F:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt;', symOptions: 532, UserName: 'MRH' 2024-04-14 13:07:38.801 INFO EDCORE (Main): OS-Version: 10.0.22631 () 0x100-0x1 Have you tried doing a repair of your DCS installation? It might also be worth thinking about renaming your DCS Saved games folder (something like Saved Games > DCS.Openbeta.old) and then try to start the game again and see if that lets it load up. If so, then it is something in the config files. You can copy back your input folder from the renamed Saved Games folder

The short answer is no - I also fly VR but regularly start MT without so I can use the Mission Editor more easily. Please could you post the DCS log created on a crash so we can have a look. This will be in your C:\Users\<you username>\Saved Games\<DCS instance>\Logs folder

This is always a difficult topic since AV software needs to learn as well. Their advanced heuristic analysis does sometimes trigger incorrectly because of something it has calculated might be a threat. Sometimes this makes them overly aggressive.

and the screenshots brought a big smile to my face as well, having ended up like most of them at some point

I don't think Voiceattack / Vaicom will have done this as I run them happily with a Crystal. I agree with Hiob that system stress is worth investigating

I am guessing you are running Oculus software - the last Meta update has introduced something that requires a fix from ED. This should come in the next patch.
