indeed. your log shows nothing. check windows event logs. "AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) can sometimes cause games to freeze or crash, particularly when using it with certain drivers or in conjunction with other software. Troubleshooting steps include disabling AFMF, checking for driver conflicts, and ensuring the game is in fullscreen mode with V-Sync disabled." i see mentions of other games having similar issues.

it hasn't changed. each aircraft will have different mappings. the controller ID and name of DIFFs are the same for each AC. i have 27 AC and each is same name and ID.

btw i wrote the doc that was posted when i did this operation of moving DCS to another computer april 2021. go slow and hit each step. i am following this topic so come back if you need help.

i tried today again. this time, though it took a hot minute to open, it did finally open. no changes to my computer other than restarting daily. i leave it off during the days i am at work. @BIGNEWY is onto something about the delay with shaders. i believe clearing those folders improves the performance.

haha. that is my doc. i am modest. not shy. i never thought to sign it. https://pcwiseman.com/downloads_files/DCS_New_Computer.pdf

lol. do you have a new log to share? avez-vous un nouveau DCS.LOG à partager ?

good to hear. i suspect something got corrupted. last time i ran the sim there were no less than 16 files changed on my system. i use a program called witching that has some buttuns to create backups of important files. i run this before every DCS update. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3315428/

hello log no longer mentions ntdll.dll as a problem. good. 2025-07-31 14:06:50.392 ERROR DX11BACKEND (27408): DX device removed. Reason: 0x887A0006 and a little further down in log 2025-07-31 14:06:50.413 INFO EDCORE (26600): I:\DCS World\bin\GraphicsCore.dll indicates a graphic card hardware or driver issue. remove any overclocking. including cards that are from factory OC. do a clean install of graphics driver by using DDU, getting the latest driver, and install it. a new nvidia driver dropped today. https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

hello the crash is referencing ntdll.dll. i suggest running system file checker (fix 6 on the following link) from admin command prompt. try this first, let it fix errors, retry sim. https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/fix-ntdll-dll-crash-issue/

hello, your computer is not referencing the correct IP address for cdn. you got 195.181.172.2 this is what i get. i am in eastern virginia usa. > cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com Server: dns.google Address: 8.8.8.8 Non-authoritative answer: Name: 1231349722.rsc.cdn77.org Addresses: 2a02:6ea0:e200::36 2a02:6ea0:e200::17 2a02:6ea0:e200::37 109.61.91.195 109.61.91.230 109.61.91.197 Aliases: cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com

i concur that my experience is the same. only evidence is in event viewer.

hello. it does look like you have the latest c++. installed when you patched. perhaps try this. rename your whole DCS folder in Saved Games to DCS.bak. then run DCS again from the BIN folder (this folder will eventually go away) to see if a new DCS folder is created and launcher opens. it it works you can copy your control bindings from the old folder to the new folder. also post up your options.lua. this file apparently is changed when DCS is ran. not sure why.

did you do this? if you are having failures for everything first off, then this is a good step. your issue obviously is not a DCS problem since the forum has not exploded with similar reports. i do not personally have issues. where are you in the world?

hello see this video.

i would be concerned that you cannot open your AV.
