Hi, After much troubleshooting, the COMPLETE fix for me was related to my XMP profile. I rolled back my RAM (32Gb DDR4) from 3600Mhz to 3300Mhz and since then have had no crashes with DCS or MSFS... Hope this helps...

Hey guys, Thanks for your feedback - after days of troubleshooting and pulling out my hair, I've found the cause and seem to have nailed it. I plan on writing up a detailed explanation about the resolution this evening in the hope of helping anyone else who may be suffering the same symptoms. Cheers..

Hi 'nobuttons' yes, I have had that set to 'OFF' from the start... Thanks anyway..

Hi guys, I’ve tried several Stress / Thermal tests all on a continuous loop with no issues. System is stable. It’s my same PC setup I’ve run for over two years with no stability issues. The only new changes have been the 3090 & Reverb G2. If the G2 is plugged in (using it or not) then I’ll get the BSOD at some random time. Memory constrained..? I assume you’re pulling my leg given the wink I’ve seen lots of Google / Reddit activity with the G2 paired with AMD products, but mine is Intel & Nvidia. It’s got me beat so far... Ahhh - I see what I did there... Whoops. Thanks for noticing

Hey guys, Thanks for the suggestions... OVERCLOCKING - Yes, I run the standard XMP profile with a very basic 4.8Ghz OC (Core Voltage @ 1.3v) that has been constantly stable under any conditions over the last 2 years. I will try 'optimised defaults' but given how stable my system has been, I don't hold much hope that that is the issue REVERB G2 - It is brand new, and been doing this since purchase. I've seen all the posts on Reddit & everywhere about the error 4-1, with Blue Flashes & then black screen. I've never had that, it's always a full system BSOD. If I forget to plug in the headset DP, then I see the error 4-1 which immediately rectifies when I plug in the DP. I have triple checked all connections. EXTERNAL USB 3 HUB - No, I have not tried this option yet. And will definitely purchase a powered external hub in the hope that it fixes it.... *** Thanks for all & any suggestions, they are appreciated ***

Hello DCS community... May I please request some assistance from anyone who has an idea about VR - 'Blue Screen of Death issues'...? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. In short, I'm trying to troubleshoot the reason why using my Reverb G2 causes the dreaded 'Blue Screen of Death' 99% of the time I use it with DCS (and I think any other title). It can be 3 minutes after commencing a flight / mission, or 20 minutes - the timing is random. *** Further to that, I can be playing using the monitor (2D), and if the Reverb is simply plugged in (Display Port, USB 3 & Power Adapter) even without WMR & Steam VR running, then DCS will still BSOD at any random time after starting to play *** SYMPTOM: - Blue Screen of Death with varying error messages, causing a reboot of the PC - Timing can be at any stage of gameplay (2 minutes or 30 minutes) - I can play DCS all day long using the Monitor, but if the Reverb is plugged in & idle in the background (even without WMR or Steam VR running) I'll still get the BSOD after a random amount of time BASIC SYSTEM SPECS: - i7 8700k - water cooled - 32G 3600Mhz DDR4 RAM - ASUS Strix ROG 370-G Motherboard - Gigabyte RTX 3090 OC Edition GPU - Corsair RM-1000W PSU - Windows 10 - 20H2 TROUBLESHOOTING SO FAR: - Updates Updates Updates! Windows 10, BIOS, latest Nvidia drivers (clean install after using DDU in Safe Mode) - Re-Rack of GPU - Thorough check of all PSU wiring & plugs (GPU is using two seperate PSU Cables / Sockets) - 100% Stress / Thermal testing (using both AIDA64 and Superposition) GPU & CPU temps are quite good with no issues. - Plugging the Reverb USB into different USB 3 ports - Plugging the DP Cable into different GPU DP ports - Device Manager - USB Power Management Tab, preventing any / all of them from 'saving power / powering down' *** Am I missing something basic? May I please put it out there to anyone that is more 'Hardware Tech Savvy' or has seen this before? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated *** Cheers...

Hello all, This may be a very easy question... ** I have NotePad + + and am versed in modifying .LUA files ** Is there a way to 'properly' modify the F/A-18c DDI display 'sharpness & colour' so that it can pass the MP Integrity Check - if at all possible For the stroke thickness of the text in the DDI's the path is: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\Common\indicator\MFD_strokesDefs.lua For the colour of the text in the DDI's the path is: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\materials.lua (refer to lines 27, 28 and 29) I don't know enough about editing to make sure that my .LUA modifications will pass the IC.... Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions Cheers.

Yes - that sounds like it. You make a good point, being that the carrier was moving for me too. I'll try a quick mission with a Static Carrier and see if it happens there.

When spawning on a CAT (either F/A-18C or F-14B) in the new Supercarrier module, the Deck Crew around my Catapult looking after my aircraft are all simultaneously 'Jittering' laterally at what looks like 20Hz...?! Has anyone else experienced this. I'm running a pure installation with no mods. Thanks in advance.

Thanks all, I'll have a look at your ideas and report back my results. It's very much appreciated.

Hi all, Due to TrackIR 5 (and it's polling rate of 120Hz) I have to lock my FPS at 60 (because 120fps is unachievable in DCS) - and 60fps in an achievable derivative of 120. I achieve this by using 'Nvidia Inspector' locking DCS to 60FPS using the 'Flip Metering' method. ** NOTE - my normal average FPS without locking them are around 80FPS *** This eliminates that 'jittery condition' when panning around, and it's quite smooth. However, this only works when the FPS are dead on 60FPS. My question - I notice with the FPS counter (Ctrl - Pause) that the FPS never seems to stay perfectly on 60FPS, rather every couple of seconds etc, it will jump to 72 (for a split second) then back to 60, then 59 (split second), or 62 (split second) etc etc back to 60. My Rig seems capable of maintaining 60FPS but it appears there's something in the background (every couple of seconds) that seems to confuse (momentarily) the FPS lock. Does anyone have any better experience on how to completely lock 60FPS...? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks very much for the feedback. Nice to know it's not something misconfigured at my end. Cheers...

Hello all, Anybody else notice that when switching to F3 'Fly-By' view, there's about a 1 second delay before hearing the sound? *** I'm not talking about Supersonic Flight because it happens during normal subsonic flight *** The F-14 is the only module that's doing this.... My other aircraft don't have this sound delay... However when already in F2 'External View' then switching to F3 'Fly-By' view, there is no sound delay.... Weird.....
