Why is this game crashing so much?

I seriously wonder why.... i can play any other sim or game without crashing but this... this is just waiting for trouble every time you start it up.

Everytime i fly a mission either online or offline im sitting at the tip of my chair hoping it wont crash to desktop or interupt connection to the server. Now the connection problems i dont have that much but the CTD's are really beginning to work on my nerfs.

Attached a dxdiag for my specs...

Have you tried to setup the system new ?!

Only your win7 and than DCSW and one aircraft. Than give it a try.

You are right, DCS is crashing very often. It is far awyx from a stable software. The new auto-updater might fix some issues.

I am running DCS on a single computer only for my sim / simpit.

Around 20% of all my multiplayersessions I crash. Due to bad bandwith or dcs.exe crashes to the desktop.

But I will not blame the developers, in fact due my simpit I have many USB-devices running, touchscreen with helios etc, pp ... I guess this will not help me on my way to a stable system.

So give it a try, maybe a partition on your hdd only for win and dcs.

Good luck.

Try this before you realy go searching into the weird stuff. Making use of the following steps seems to keep my DCS a bit more stable than it is without some advanced maintenance.

- Deinstall and Reinstall this C++ 2010 X64 version, check if the X32 version is installed and deinstall it (remove)

- Run this DirectX installer

- Windows updated

- Drivers fresh and new, reinstallation of drivers when updates from manufacturers take some time

- Clear files in C:/Users/<windows username>/Saved Games/DCS/Logs

- Clear files in C:/Users/<windows username>/Saved Games/DCS/Tracks/Multiplayer

- Clear files in C:/Users/<windows username>/Appdata/Local/temp (skip files in use)

- Clear files in C:/Windows/Temp

- Clear files in C:/Windows/Prefetch

- Run Windows Diskcleanup, optionaly clear shadowcopys under advanced

- Turn off scedualed Defragmentation and do that manualy when needed

- Turn off Windows update and do that manualy when needed

- Turn off System Restore

- Turn off Allow remote assistance

- Turn off antivirus

- Unplug any hardware that isnt needed for DCS play or in case of problems unplug everything but one mouse and 1 keyboard

- Restart computer

- End processes manualy that arent needed in the Windows Taskmanager (ctrl-alt-del)

- Run DCS through the shortcuts in the START -> Programs -> Eagle Dynamics, start with single play in through the missioneditor first. Before you start a mission, SAVE it first.

Let me know if at least stable soloplay is possible. Multiplay is a total different story.
