I'm running the Steam version. Any idea where I would go to check for this file?

Howdy folks. Saw there was an update. Sadly this did nothing for me. Game still crashes to desktop on second load. Hope we are making headway on a fix. See attached log. No mods. No graphics card overclock. Thanks, JN dcs.20210424-030750.log

I understand your frustration. Happening to me as well. I am told they are aware of the 2nd load crash bug, and that it's something on their end that is being addressed. See this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/267836-2704625-open-beta-crash-at-second-mission-load

Did you remove all skins? I have deleted every unofficial item except skins. Crashes continue. Attached are my logs. Any new conventional wisdom on solving this aside form "delete mods and verify"? dcs.20210420-032100.log dcs.20210420-020600.log dcs.20210419-230652.log dcs.20210419-231043.log dcs.20210420-013545.log

I'm running full screen off with 466.11 drivers. I've tried both the full screen optimizations both enabled AND disabled. Neither option has resolved the problem. Additionally, I've deleted the A4E Skyhawk mod, which was the only unofficial mod (aside from some aircraft skins) that I've used. I've also uninstalled Re-shade. I've run MULTIPLE repairs through Steam. Nothing seems to actually be fixing this for me. Is there anything others are doing that I have missed? I am considering running a driver clean and do a full reinstall of my Nvidia drivers, but I really don't want to go through the trouble if it's going to yield the same unsuccessful results I've already had. Has anyone done a full game reinistall? Has that worked? Appreciate the insight.

Another log attached. Flew a single mission, tired to replay it, and I got a crash. dcs.20210417-223137.log

Thanks Flappie. I've had full screen optimizations disabled for a while, so I don't think this is the culprit unfortunately. I'm considering using DDI to scrub my drivers for a fresh Nvidia driver install. Considering how many topics I'm seeing on this, I'm honestly starting to get the sense that this isn't a "me" problem. I hope the ED guys are digging into our crash logs. I'll continue to send them as long as it's helpful.

Sadly not. I uninstalled Reshade completely and ran Steam repair and the problem persists. Two consecutive crashes to desktop. See log attached. dcs.20210417-183654.log

Thanks! No mods installed, and I have turned off all Reshade filters. I can try to fully uninstall Reshade too. Do you think this could be the problem? One other point of interest - Just flew several single missions on different maps with no issues. Only change was that I turned off SSAA. It had been set to 1.5. Thanks, JN

Crazy. Hopefully we get a fix soon.

Tried taking it out of fullscreen. Still getting crashes, but at least now I can send crash reports without having to kill the program in the task manager. Attached my latest crash log. dcs.20210417-145003.log

Hello, Is anyone else experiencing this water/cloud reflection bug? See image below. It looks like the water is reflecting clouds that aren't there. This seems to happen when I play a single mission for the second time. In this case, it was one of the new quick missions for the Hornet. Played the mission with no graphics glitch, got shot down, and when I re-loaded the mission, this glitch occurred. I reloaded it again, and the glitch persisted. I had to restart the game entirely to get the water to return to normal. Thanks, JN

Hey XPACT, I'm having the same crashes. I am running a i58600K, so I don't think that is the common denominator here. Attaching my crash log if it's helpful. JN dcs.20210417-015516.log

Update: I updated my Nvidia drivers to 4.66 (released this week) and deleted the only unofficial mod I had, which was the community A-4E. I also ran a repair through Steam. I played through a few single missions with no errors. But alas, I ended up having the game lock up and I had to hard-kill it in the device manager. Attaching my crash report here. I hope this doesn't come off like aimless complaining. I appreciate the effort that goes into this sim and hope this feedback is productive in finding solutions. Has anyone else heard of any fixes to the crashes? I honestly don't think it's Reshade, but if anyone has heard that it is causing crashes in 2.7, please let me know, because I do have it loaded. Thanks! JN dcs.20210417-015516.log

Good intel. I'll also see which Nvidia driver I'm using when I get back to my computer. I updated my drivers a week or so ago. I don't recall which driver I am running specifically. There may be a newer driver that I have neglected to download. Separately, I play single-player almost entirely, so it seems to not be isolated to single or multi.

Thanks BIGNEWY, Really appreciate the response. I have done a verify in Steam, but to no avail. Just to clarify - would unofficial mods include the A-4? I assume so. Also, would using a post-processing injector like Reshade be considered a "mod". Just want to make sure I'm doing my diligence. Thanks, JN

Hello, I downloaded the new 2.7 patch last night. In the last 24 hours, the game has routinely crashed or locked up to the point that I have to hard-kill the program. I can usually play one single player mission without an issue, and then when I try to load another mission, the game locks up during loading. I am forced to Alt-Tab and kill the program, or restart my computer. I've attached my crash logs here. Appreciate any help you can provide to resolve this. Best, JN dcs.20210416-013135.log dcs2.log

Howdy folks, Are players still using Reshade for DCS? Is it a useful tool or is it outmoded at this point? I'm interested in testing it out, but I don't know if I want to jump through the hoops if it's more pain than its worth. Appreciate the insight. Best, JN

Thanks to you both. I ended up doing a driver clean and reinstalled my drivers. This helped eliminate a lot of the jagged edges I was experiencing. Glide, thanks for the input. I will try this. One other thing I have noticed is that my NCP settings don't seem to have a significant effect on my in-game graphics. Is this a known problem? Any idea why that would take place?

Thanks Lange - Are you referring to the in-game values on the Nvidia control panel values? I notice changes with the in-game, but the Nvidia control panel seems to do nothing. Regarding the options.lua, just delete the existing options folder entirely and restart the game? Thanks, JN

Hello, I have recently noticed a degradation in the crispness of my DCS graphics. I am running the game at 1920x1080 at 144Hz. My system - Intel I5-8600K CPU at 4.3 GHz GeForce RTX 2080 8GB 32GB of DDR3 Ram at 3000MHz 650W PSU Z370-P Motherboard Current Nvidia driver is 461.40. My issue has been that there has been noticeable blurriness and jaggedness to my textures, despite making no changes to my system. I don't know if this is the result of a hardware problem or if it is something specific to DCS. I've attached a screen grab of my settings. As you can see, my AA and AF are both set pretty high, so I don't understand why my graphics have degraded. I've attached a picture so you can see what I'm referencing. You can see the jaggedness around the intakes, weapons, and firings. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, any recommendations to improve/remedy it? Could this be the result of a hardware issue? Thanks, JN

Howdy, Love the Tomcat and have really enjoyed learning the front seat systems. One recent frustration has been the gun sight pipper. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behavior in the HUD after locking a target. The gun cross seems to arbitrarily bounce around, which makes for an incredibly frustrating dogfight experience. Is this a known issue? I don't recall it being a problem before. I feel like I'm pretty up-to-speed in the Tomcat switchology, but admit that there may be something I'm missing. Thanks, JN

Thanks Kaba. I see the Operation CTB in my campaigns, but when I run the campaign I am back on the Stennis. Appreciate some help getting this fixed.

Hi all, I've read that the F-14 mission, Operation Cage The Bear, has been updated with the supercarrier as a replacement for the original John C Stennis. When I get into the game, I am still seeing the Stennis as the carrier. Do I need to manually install something to make the change take place?I am running the latest version of the open beta and have the supercarrier module purchased and installed. Appreciate the help. JN

I'm having this exact same problem.
