Very frequent crashes

[JayPee]

Not sure what's going on but since a few days I'm having a lot of random crashes, at least in multiplayer.

 

I dug into the .LOG and I noticed it always crashes after a line like this:

 

00446.554 WARNING LOG: 38323 duplicate message(s) skipped.

I also have lines like these with only a few (1, 2, 4..) deplicate messages which DCS seems to survive. However, when this line indicates a number well into the 40k things start to go wrong with a CTD as result.

 

Any ideas?

C'mon guys.. Do I really have to bump a topic in the support section??

[JayPee]

Bump.

I need to check my log. The last two multiplayer missions my local DCS multiplayer crashed when I Tried to adjust the volume of the RWR.

[JayPee]

Mine just crashes randomly.. There's no way for me to reproduce it. My only guess is it happens when another player does something or has something. But that doesn't explain why it only happens to me and not to other players in the server.

[Esac_mirmidon]

For now there are a couple of things identified that causes crashes.

 

-RIM66 missiles fired

-A-10C RWR

-Using MANPADS as static objects.

[JayPee]

What exactly RWR-related makes it crash? Just having it turned on?

[Esac_mirmidon]

Volume adjusting i think.

[JayPee]

I didn't do that in any of the cases.

Have you checked this thread?

 

I know alot of crashes are related to over heating of the CPU/GPU. So check your cooling.

 

Also if you are using the OpenBeta expect crashes (it's a Beta after all). Watch the forum posts for others reporting similar issues especially if running the Beta.

 

You should also post your .crash, dcs.log and me.log files as well. Sometimes errors can be reported there. Also check the Windows Event View for any indications.

I have random crashes since last patch too. It happens to more than one person at one time in Multiplayer.

 

For example yesterday I have turned on the TV pod in SU-25T and the game crashed for 3 people on the same server. The game stops responding.

 

The crashes seems to be random though. Once it crashed when my friend destroyed a random traffic car.

 

The more people are on the server the more common the crashes are.

.crash and dump files would be useful. Also whenever you see a warning about skipped messages that means that the line just above the error has repeated itself x number of times. So knowing what it was that occurred 38324 times in 446 seconds would be helpful.

@ Sabre

 

I've ran through Sith's troubleshooting 101. I have no heat issues. 45 deg C CPU and 50 deg C GPU. Flow's 27 deg C. Thanks for the input tho.

 

@ Grimes

 

I've deleted the old logs so I can't upload them now. Reason for this is I didn't want to accidentally mix up logs and post wrong ones. I will start a session tonight and post the logs immediately. I didn't know the WARNING line referred to the line directly above it.

 

How should I interpret this, the game has tried to execute the line 38323 times throughout the 446 time window, which started when joining the session? Or did it try to execute the line 38323 times at the 446th second after joining the session? This could be crucial in trying to rule out factors.. If the former is the case, it would indicate it is constantly trying to do something which somehow is not working. If the latter is the case, it sounds likely to me that I (or somebody else on the server) did something which my client somehow can't handle.

Errors are reported as they occur. If the same error is repeated you will see something like this.

00113.271 UNKNOWN ?: good_rule	true
00113.271 WARNING LOG: 1 duplicate message(s) skipped.

 

Which means that "good_rule true" displayed twice, one after another. The time shown would be the most recent time an error message occurred. If a different type of log/error occurred between when the two "good_rule" logs it would look like this

 

00113.271 UNKNOWN ?: good_rule	true
00114.271 UNKNOWN?: some random log thingy
00115.271 UNKNOWN ?: good_rule	true

 

Note these are mission editor logs, but the behavior is the same as normal DCS in game logs that appear.

When i host games in multiplayer, the two people i play with will crash at the same time around the 15 minute mark. I can still play the game but they get a "program stopped responding" message.

[JayPee]

Yeah same here. Trying to reproduce it but the randomness is making that difficult.

[JayPee]

OK, I managed to reproduce it. The Windows crash dialog says MSVCR110.dll

is the issue.

 

Please find attached:

 

DCS-20141211-204728.crash

DCS-Crash-20141211-204729.dmp

dcs.log (a clean one, just from this session)

Logs.zip

[AtaliaA1]

MSVCR110.dll

 

 

That has been attributed to an error in the DX and/or the VCREDIST_x64.

Both can be found in the C:\Program Files \ Eagle Dynamics \ DCS World OpenBeta\ dstr Folder, were U can reinstall them. Happens due to crashes for some reason.

[JayPee]

Is it possible that these crashes occur because I'm running the game from within an admin account, not the admin account?

 

Currently repairing/installing Visual C and DX. They're in the Distro folder of the regular version as well. Hopefully they're the same as those in the Beta one.

[JayPee]

I reinstalled Visual C and DirectX and I keep having the issue... Singleplayer is fine. But as soon as I join an MP session I keep getting this CTD/DCS World has stopped working.

set .exe (desktop shortcut) to Run As Administrator, or give the Root Folder - Full Permissions... have your clients do the same

failing that, download and run Dependency Walker, to ascertain whether you have a 32/ 64bit system file misplacement mixup going on...

Will do.

[JayPee]

I'm running W8.1 x64.

 

I've opened DCS.EXE inside Dep Walker. 3 Modules show up with a yellow question mark in front of them:

 

API-MS-WIN-CORE-KERNEL32-PRIVATE-L1-1-1.DLL

API-MS-WIN-CORE-PRIVATEPROFILE-L1-1-1.DLL

API-MS-WIN-SERVICE-PRIVATE-L1-1-1.DLL

 

Another 3 modules show up with an hourglass and a yellow question mark in front of them:

 

API-MS-WIN-CORE-SHUTDOWN-L1-1-1.DLL

EXT-MS-WIN-NTUSER-UICONTEXT-EXT-L1-1-0.DLL

IESHIMS.DLL

 

For all 6 modules it says:

 

Error opening file. The system cannot find the file. (Literally translated from my local version of Windows).

 

EDIT1:

 

How about I let a screenie do the talking.

It is not your PC, i can guarantee you.
