hello. indeed this is an old post. 4 years later. you should start a new topic since this one is so old. however there are lots of active post with the same symptoms as you. some people have an issue and others do not. no magic bullet that i know.

there have been so many users over the years that have too little RAM. more users are getting defacto 64 GB. there have been mentions of an MP session will use about 50 GB. i am not sure why some missions / tracks work and some do not. the history of tracks in DCS is foggy at best. the track system was never meant to be for content creation. rather it was meant as a troubleshooting tool.

hello. it is definitely something weird. 00001.811 ERROR: Version 2.9.3.51704 is not available. also check to see if there is anything in the folder \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\ and delete. then do a long repair of DCS?

hello. i use the screen capture within geforce experience. the issue does not seem to be a thing for me.

yes a lot of commas in that number. i think you are correct that the number in the log is askew. see if you can share the reply. i can see what my machine does. i have 128 GB RAM and a 32 GB pagefile.

Glad to help.

hello again. looks like not enough memory. 2024-04-03 23:18:09.930 INFO APP (Main): CPU cores: 8, threads: 8, System RAM: 32688 MB, Pagefile: 4864 MB 2024-04-03 23:24:12.951 ALERT EDCORE (Main): Out of memory in ed_malloc for 176925783632 bytes. 2024-04-03 23:24:13.345 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x00000000000277ab (edCore): ed::fatal_out_of_memory + 0x3B you should either get more memory or set a 32 GB pagefile. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/increase-page-file-size-virtual-memory-windows

hello. the last line of your log 2024-04-03 11:16:09.788 INFO APP (Main): application shutdown did you actually initiate the application shutdown of DCS? there is nothing outwardly odd in your dcs.log. i think this is your AV blocking? can you add exceptions to your AV software? also look here. good luck.

hello. this is likely a problem with DCS vs VR. DCS is being picky with Oculus now too. see if this will help.

it is not recommended to use external USB for DCS. however you can get through it possibly by using sim links. https://www.howtogeek.com/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/

hello. are you trying a track that was created with the current revision of DCS? if you are trying a track from a previous revision, it is likely your issue. also if you want, post your DCS.LOG file for analysis.

well i learned something new today. i cannot even play the track unless i paid for the campaign. can you create a mission with the anomaly between the two waypoints with F-16? or coordinates?

i do not have that mission. but you can fly the mission to the point you start seeing the effect. quit the mission and save the track. then post it here. i can load it to see what i see.

if i am understanding, an hour long track has little chance of being free of "corruption". meaning the ending maybe does not happen the same as what really happened. the shorter they are, the more reliable. i have seen my own tracks do great all way to final for landing, and i crash into the trees. i am not sure how to fix. i personally think content creators film like a motion picture would do it. they would not do it in one take. they also have others in ac being sort of a chase plane somewhere on the map. but i do not do it myself. i could totally incorrect. before running DCS, unplug your controllers. run DCS. you start the track. being that you have no input devices, something will not "take control" of track. this is what i do anyway.

interesting. thanks for the update. what was the map in your earlier examples? i just thought of something. maybe do a short track of the anomaly and post it. i can try to see if i can see the effect.

i do not have many other ideas for you. how about a slow repair? turning off upscaling in DCS? maybe renaming CONFIG folder to CONFIG.bak as a test. when you rerun DCS the folder will be recreated. you can copy over the CONFIG.bak\INPUT folder to new CONFIG folder. where your controls are. unfortunately for testing sake, I do not have any of this banding.

i posted look into ReShade as a possible cause 3/22/2024. deleting contents of the shader folders is always a good tip.

oh lol sorry. i was looking at a log for someone else. if you have 128 then no need. i too have 128 but still have a 32 pagefile. can you share a log from when the mission gets stuck?

i helped on the post flappie linked but never got any feedback from the OP. see if anything there helps. essentially rename \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts to \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts.bak. retry dcs.

you have the latest version. so that is likely not the problem. i did notice that from your log, you have 32 GB RAM and a low pagefile. you should up your pagefile to 32 GB. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/increase-page-file-size-virtual-memory-windows

hello. it looks like you are using winwing exports 2024-03-24 16:09:53.188 INFO WWT (Main): Winwing export installed! 2024-03-24 16:09:53.192 INFO WWT (Main): Export start! these errors are last thing before your crash. post your EXPORT.lua OR try to rename your Saved Games\DCS and run DCS again. just as a test. if it works then there is likely an issue in those folders. you can then copy your CONFIG folder back over to the newly created Saved Games\DCS

i searched in google "dcs stripes banding on water"

@islapaisano i added TR and did not have any problems. went straight in with no delays.

glad to help. feel free to ask for help anytime.

hello and welcome to DCS. there have been other posts about this. your screenshots are worst i have seen. no fix that i could find. so looking at your settings compared to mine. try turning off SSLR. also turn off upscaling. FYI i do upscaling at the driver level outside DCS. and maybe disable reshade as a possible cause.
