Well, no crashes today. Played about 4hrs on Grayflag with several diff modules. In and out of Combined Arms too. Cautiously hopeful. i did change my ram xmp to default and played a bit. Seemed fine. Ran memtest, cinebench, scandisk, SFC All good. Then put the xmp back on and it was fine for hours. Maybe it was the hotfix? I don’t know what the “F10 map bug “actually was? 1 or maybe 2 of those crashes shown in the op screenie were while flying, but the rest were def whilst re-slotting on the map. More testing. it always seemed to crash when I hit release slot and then select Jtac on the server. Today there was no issue, but I never hit the release slot button today. That article is hilarz, but good to know. Will chk out RM. o7

It's possible it's server side. Crashing on Grayflag. Usually when I select JTAC/Observer. The Catch is that C-130 and UH-60 are required on that server so I doubt it's those mods as no one else is complaining. I took em out, but that means ironically I can't test cause I can't join without em lol. I just threw some more ram in, 32 to 64 now. Still crashed when I hit JTAC/Observer slot. Suspicious. Sidenote: Hey ED what r u doing to us over here lol? When I started to play DSC in 2020 I had 16gigs and it was fine. Then I bumped it up to 32 18months ago. Now I've gone to 64gb. Maybe optimize the game? Yer killin us! I load into a server and watch task manager. It says the damn thing is using 42gigs of memory? wtf. UPDATE: So confused. Everything seems to work. Done several repairs, and cleanups, took the mods (C-130 + UH-60) out, took out the skins, took out Reshade. Played single player mission in the viper. no issue fer. Put the c-130 and Uh-60 back in. Played on Grayflag - Syria for an hour in the Viper with no issue. Landed, released the slot and went to choose JTAC\Combined arms slot and crashed. dcs.log-20240930-223251.zip dcs.log

Thanks for having a look. I will try as u suggest. I ran a cleanup and a repair. It found several skins and my reshade settings. I forgot I have hercules and uh-60. I can remove those for a spell and test.

hey yo. Never posted a crash log as I haven't had much issues with DCS. Last time it was a mod so not sure what to post. But since the update today DCS crashes constantly. just curious is someone could look at these and give me a hint. Not sure what the issue is.dcs.log

Just checked. I think this must be it. So thank you for that! Been away so I really don't recall this being an option, BUT it was bound. Whaaat! I have a VKB Gunfighter, so there is a 4 way + Depress hat that I use for Display Management. At some point I def bound that Depress to toggling the visor. So it's very likely that I depressed that as I was "Mashing" the DMS aft to turn on the HMCS. Totally reasonable assumption. (Unfortunately I never hit F2 during this so I nvr noticed if I had flipped the visor up) As far as I can see is this seems to be mostly a quality of life feature for the pilot body animation? Other than "turning off" the hmcs, I haven't seen a difference in visual changes / acuity etc looking out while using or not using the visor (e.g. no polarization etc) Is there a use case for the Visor toggle in the DCS F16? I need to test more. If that is the case, not only is this resolved, I got an xtra depress. Yes pls. EDIT: Asked-and-Answered. Quick forum search shows it's primarily for the animation currently. Got it. I do love the below comment though. bwaahahaa! I was on Grayflag yesterday at Sun up. Couldn't see Sh!z with all the glare lol. (DCS is just too pretty with ultra settings and a good Reshade, I refuse to lower that so I can see properly. Prolly negatively impacting my K/D ratio though) Cheers to you both Trespasser

Confirmed doing it correctly and binds are working. I had to re-slot and it worked fine in my next viper. So haven't been able to re-peat the offending action if it was me. Tested turning it on/off on the ground and it was fine. ""Is there any chance you raised your visor? That would also disable your HMCS. "" Very curious. I was unaware one could do this, what the effects are or what the keybind is. Therefore I have to conclude it is a possibility as I may indeed have done it inadvertently. Will chk controls for the option.

Hey, Wondering if this is something I did or what's up. Lost my HMCS mid-flight On MP server, Cold Start goes fine, HMCS Brightness dial full right, Aligned the HMCS fine, Declutter on lvl 1, Blanking left as is on HMCS page DED default. HMCS is on during takeoff and climb out. Got busy with stuff and then noticed I have no HMCS a little while later. So I pressed DMS-Down-Long to turn it back on... Nothing. Never got it back. Checked whether DMS Down was bound correctly and working and it's fine. Is this incorrect? I know DMS Down long turns the HMCS off, but I've been away for a while. Doesn't DMS Down long turn it back on too? I've seen several posts of ppl having their HMCS "disappear, but invariably as I read the thread, they're unaware that DMS Down Long turns it off and they didn't know or notice they'd done that. That was the first thing I did.

We're like brothers in arms lol. I spent days doing all the stuff you mentioned in yer first post. I still need to test, But yeah I just noticed those files after a repair and was like, you go now. I even updated my bios and chipset drivers lol. My stutter was like a metronome. Every 2.73 seconds a split-second micro-stutter. You could set your clock by it. If only I'd seen this last week.

Damn yer eyes ED! bwahahaha! I just upgraded to fc2024 and the planes from FC3 STILL don't work. My DOODs, c'mon lol.

Been on hiatus from DCS for a long minute so I'm outa synch with recent stuff. Just gettin back in again. Not familiar with FC3 2024. Out of town at the mo so I can't chk the mod manager, but I must also be blind as I didn't see anything called FC32024 when I was perusing the summer sale a cpl days ago. Gonna go chk the e shop again. EDIT: Ohhhhh, it's in Bundles. D'oh!

Also getting this on the new launcher. It looks like an anomalous error?? Looks like its confused about 6 files, but there's nothing in the list. maybe I'm reading it wrong see attached pic. In addition, When I launch DCS, the main menu asks if I want to install FC3 and I say yes. I see it trying to install, but nothing gets installed.

I wish I could give you an answer, but It seems I'm in the same boat. Pretty annoying, but not an emergency. I've checked the FAQ and done all suggestions. (Exclusion for DCS in AV was already there) Did the cleanup from the new launcher Did the repair form the new launcher Del'd the manifest files etc etc + Repair Very strange. Li'l help?

LOL, exiting the hanger, waiting a min got it working. TY

Still happening. I'm seeing a lot of threads on this. Doesn't happen with other maps. Syria issue?? dcs.log

Hmm, never seen this before, but it's happening to me as of today. I zoom in on F-10 to get accurate grid coordinates for an object and the screen/game just freezes and I get notified by windows that the program is no longer responding. It's on a multiplayer server, but it's done it now 3 times in a row and very easy to duplicate. Anyone know if this error was ever tracked down and solved? dcs.log
