to assist @Flappie, here is a link to the procedure. i suggest "Ultimate" plan. https://systembooster.minitool.com/boost-pc/ultimate-performance-power-plan.html

hello. please run the mission again and save the track after mission exit. upload to here to allow us to watch.

i am honored defender is definitely better these days. in case you have not seen this, here is a screenshot of the exclusions. i saw a YT video of this procedure. another benefit i found was that my computer went from 2 minutes to get to menu to 30 seconds in DCS. null

add exceptions to your current AV. you will be happy you did. hey max. i put money on zonealarm being the issue.

victory?

since this thread is 11 months old, you should start your own thread and attach your logs.

i suggest getting the VD sorted and test. the errors only mention the VD. the VD just happens to be something the oculus needs. there were other problems with oculus after one of the DCS patches. the issue was supposed to be fixed after last DCS patch. if the fix of VD does not completely clear your issue, then reinstall the oculus apps.

i believe this has something to do with oculus quest vr.

hello again in the latest log there is a line 2024-04-18 13:31:58.721 ALERT DX11BACKEND (8864): Error: Can't find precompiled shader for effect animator/gpu_animated_model.fx:DIRECTX11=true;MAX_ANIMATIONS_STACK_SIZE=100;MAX_ARGUMENTS_SIZE=3;NUM_NODES=77;USE_DCS_DEFERRED=1;. this is still a shader issue. whether it is the cause, that is still to be told. when you renamed the saved games dcs folder, this should have recompiled everything. the latest log does indicate it. also see these type of messages Recompilation process will take some time, please wait (this situation should not occur on end user PC, if there is no manual shader editing)

there have been reports that either or both nvidia and DCS settings get wiped or corrupted after updates. perhaps it is that?

hello. MP missions especially need a lot of memory. Ram is definitely the best way. it is literally the easiest thing to upgrade. you just have to make sure you purchase the correct type for your system. i got my computer 3 years ago with 128 GB. it was well worth it. i am glad you are working again, and i am glad to help. if you want to pursue RAM for your computer, let me know.

to add to @Flappie, @Hiob, and @Ithronwise state. after all, MS has a unique perspective on their OS and what affects it. MS AV is to the point of being as good as any of the others one has to buy. and it is totally free.

no problem. good luck and clear skies.

hello. just before your crash you get this line 2024-04-17 18:45:50.955 ALERT EDCORE (8784): Out of memory in ed_malloc for 5592592 bytes. you should increase your pagefile since you have only 32 GB of RAM. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/increase-page-file-size-virtual-memory-windows also you can lower your preload radius within DCS options.

hello. i believe you are having terrain shader issues. i suggest renaming the DCS folder in Saved Games to DCS.BAK. then rerun DCS to let the folder be recreated. also you need to be patient and let the shaders compile. it may take awhile. also add exceptions to your AV software. i run defender and these are the folders i exclude from scanning.
