I am also experiencing this with VEGA 64 tho not in the same intensity as on the video, but it can be seen even in flight at altitude when you move camera around, sometimes you will see that black rectangles/squares flicker for a moment. Using latest WHQL drivers 21.3.1

Exactly it comes and goes. Currently there is no suggested solution that works, at least for me. Can you post your dxdiag I am on a witch hunt trying to figure out what we all have in common I am also tempted to put my main GPU into the old Haswell build just to see if it crashes there, my guess would be no as it seems, at least with this data I got, to affect modern configurations more and all were Intel based so far.

That tag was placed by forum moderator... Game mods are not causing this and it's 100% tested and confirmed. I didn't even have mods in the first place except tacview script but I did clean reinstall after without user data and issue still remains. There are many ways to reproduce the crash but not with 100% consistency. Sometimes you can load single mission multiple times without problem... But if that happens I can reproduce the crash by going to a different mission and then loading first one once again, it will always crash on loading screen for me.

We need as much dxdiags as we can get both from people who don't have and have issue, I am trying to pinpoint what is causing it but there is simply not enough data...

Seems to be related to you not having allocated page file. Try setting page file (virtual memory) to system managed first, it should fix it. Even if you have large amount of memory and you don't utilize it fully it is still good to have page file just in case because system will always have some space for swapping and won't feel threatened that RAM will run out like it's probably happening in this case (it cannot allow that to happen because system would instantly crash even if you only need 1bit over maximum memory), here windows prevented that memory build up by not allowing DCS access to more memory, which results in a crash.

Don't hard reboot, select crash window with alt tab and press alt+f4, another crash windows will pop up alt+f4 that one also, dcs should close now if it doesn't alt+f4 again EDIT: even tho you will not see the windows you selected via alt tab on the screen itself, it is selected and will react to alt+f4 command

It's the same issue, this is the most active thread currently on that topic

I tried everything suggested, currently running unmodded with newest graphics drivers and it will inevitably crash, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Many fixes are just placebo because sometimes it will work just fine. And we know it is not related to AMD or Nvidia, both are experiencing it, it's probably some kind of memory allocation issue and that would explain randomness of it. Vulkan plz save us all Now for some people it never crashes, can somebody without issues post their dxdiag? What I am most interested in is amount of VRAM, RAM, Page file size, Windows version etc...

Can you exit the game, then open the game again and tell me if it still works for you? For me deleting user data is fixing it for the first game launch.

Here. Crashing came back, sometimes it works just fine and sometimes it doesn't, on a fresh install. Something is probably broken in the game code for some of us sadly...

It would be nice if you attach crash log here also, so we can determine faster if our crashing issues are somehow interconnected

That's the reason we must have nice wallpapers, especially after big DCS update

Sadly it seems that issue is random and sometimes game will launch and work perfectly and sometimes it will crash at second mission load multiple times in a row independent of options.lua, we are at square one. EDIT: At least it works when you first start a mission so, it's not completely broken

It's something in C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS\Config folder that is causing the crash.

Those are 100% safe to save in my case, there is probably only 1 file in that whole Config folder that is creating some conflict but currently I don't have energy and time to find out which specific one it is EDIT: those 4 were just most important to me so I tested it with them first and got it working

After adding back my old user data to the SavedGames/DCS folder it started crashing again. I found out it was something in the old Config folder that is causing it, I only transfered my old per jet inputs, inputuserprofiles, snapviews and options.lua Everything is working now. Thanks everyone for the help, if others have the same issue now we know where to look for

Good news, reinstall and no previous user data fixed it, I will try to add my old user data and see if it does it again.

I will do complete reinstall and start the game without previous user data and report back, just to clear that variable out of the way.

Already did that issue remains Don't know if it was clear that I can reopen the game after crash and again load any mission without issues, but second try will crash it again

In my case it was again recreated as DCS EDIT: maybe because I am using steam version?

I only have folder named DCS there, I deleted it, issue remains. I looked at the logs it points to a broken usage of d3d11.dll, game is trying to access stuff that isn't there anymore on the second load by the looks of it EDIT: just checked, DirectX is up to date

As the title says I get DCS to crash everytime when I try to load mission for the second time, it doesn't have to be exact same mission. First time it will always load fine and work without issues. dcs.log-20210414-155935.zip DxDiag.txt EDIT: Issue is actually not occuring everytime you launch the game but is much more likely to happen than working fine.

If she can take off, fly and land MiG-29... then she can fly 95% of the modules including F-16, F-18... they have much more advanced avionics with FBW, auto trim etc... DCS is primarily about flying and MiG-29 flight model seems very accurate at the current state. I get it you like full fidelity modules, I do too, I like it when everything is clickable and simulated truthfully, doing startup procedure, emergency procedures... is half+ of the fun for me and I can't wait for full fidelity MiG-29A, I don't care what version we get because DCS shouldn't be about what is currently the best and the most modern but that is another topic.

Well since you fiddled with game folder cfg and something broke, I would suggest reinstall and don't forget to delete config in saved games folder after

To make things easier you can just submit them to virustotal and copy that long string of text you get from each, just mark which one is for which
