ScopeDope Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 I am hosting a multiplayer co-op campaign on Syria. We have found that it is fairly common to have a DCS CTD when you zoom in too far on the F10 map. I haven't done more testing with the different map types, but ALT is what we are all in when it happens. It's happened to more than a few of us, so its obviously not just my setup. I will attach a miz file if it helps.Operation Wildcat II M8_V002.miz
Flappie Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Hi ScopeDope. Can you please attach a dcs.log file showing one of these crashes? ---
Thomasvt Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 I've had the same issue a couple of times as well, both on pg and syria. log attached as requesteddcs.log
ScopeDope Posted September 19, 2020 Author Posted September 19, 2020 Here's one of mine - should have the same crash on it. Linked to GDrive because its too big for the forum. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DfkoNUCY2rvHMz6N379xgfNCS_udNqHh/view?usp=sharing
Flappie Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Hi Thomasvt. I assume your log is showing your latest crash? But I see no core dump. Is it a sraight-to-desktop crash? EDIT: thank you, ScopeDope, I'm looking at your log file. EDIT2:ScopeDope, no core dump either. The last message of your log is: ERROR SOUND: render time = 0.654379s exceeded allowed slice of 0.022000sI quote c0ff, from ED: That's not a critical error. It just indicates that the sound engine can't get enough CPU. Which is strange given the CPU you have. Do you have custom affinity settings for DCS by any chance?Do yo? Also, you guys should force your Windows pagefile minimum size to 16 GB (Thomasvt only has 5 GB, ScopeDope has 9 GB). I know you have a lot of RAM, but DCS needs a large pagefile anyway. Edited September 19, 2020 by Flappie ---
ScopeDope Posted September 19, 2020 Author Posted September 19, 2020 My crash isnt CTD per se- the game freezes and goes into Not responding No custom affinity for me, doubt Thomas is either, its a brand new CPU for him
Flappie Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) OK. Then we have no lead at all. :cry: I was about to test the mission but I don't have the A-4E mod installed. I'll try replacing the A4-E and reproduce the bug. EDIT: crap, I can't open the mission file without the A-4E mod installed. Edited September 20, 2020 by Flappie ---
Flappie Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) EDIT: I've been able to load the mission editing out A-4E-C units. So far, I couldn't reproduce the issue with the F10 view. Edited September 20, 2020 by Flappie ---
ScopeDope Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 Here's another crash log if it helps anything.. I guess next step is removing the A4 and seeing if it's still a thing.dcs.log
Flappie Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 Your latest log looks like the first one. I see you spawning, LotATC is connecting, Tacview is recording, and then after a few seconds/minutes, DCS logs two error message about issues rendering sounds, which means it's experiencing issues accessing CPU resources. And then nothing more (=freeze). Disabling mods one by one can be a good idea to find the culprit. It would also be interesing that you load a very simple mission. Here's one for you. Can you try reproducing the zoom issue with it?very_simple_syria_mission.miz ---

jonsky7 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Having this issue also, attached a log file, but the game just hangs, rather than crashing. Also on Syria map, multiplayer. dcs.log Edited February 7, 2021 by jonsky7 1
Sapper31 Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Have this problem as well. Replicated with a friend. 1
Trespasser Posted September 5, 2022 Posted September 5, 2022 Still happening. I'm seeing a lot of threads on this. Doesn't happen with other maps. Syria issue?? dcs.log
Overdrive105 Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 (edited) How do you even screw up a map? How hard can it be to make things simple, and not adding pixel 3D rendering of some troop's vagina while I zoom in on his location? And the ammout of crap you guys are getting served is just painfuly too much. There is no place for that "Oh have you checked your hardware drivers? Your work place? Your system has to be set up FLAWLESSLY BIT BY BIT for you to even attempt to play any of the 60-bucks-abandonware-modules"; when not even the most trivial things work, and not even one of the beefiest PC can handle the ammount of this bottlenecking. Trust me, most of the time, software or hardware products made from competition, and not monopoly, are incredibly modular, self adjusting, self repairing, and easy to handle. DCS - is a clustrfuck of an attempt to pursue a flight sim hobby, giving you the joy of immersion, while falling completely apart from a single sneeze. (I lost progress of a 2h long sortie for pressing F10, and by far not the first time. This anger has to be displayed.) Edited September 15, 2024 by Overdrive105
