Hi i have been trying for 2 weeks to get DCS working. Ive been wanting to play this game for the past year and have finally purchased a computer to do so. But I have not been able to whatsoever due the game crashing. Everytime I start a mission the game crashes and says DCS has stopped working and it brings me back to the debrief page and says cannot open debrief file. Ive been lurking these here forums for 2 weeks now and have tried every fix possible without luck. Ive turned antivirus off, 3 fresh reinstalls, deleted saved games, installed from steam and dcs website,made sure resolution was correct, and other fixes that didnt work. Please help this is the one game ive been wanting to play and have saved for over a year to get a computer to play it.

 

DCS is version 1.2.15

 

my specs are: Alienware X51

16GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600Mhz (2x8GB)

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Ti with 2G GDDR5

256GB SSD SATA 6Gb/s + 1TB 5400RPM SATA 3Gb/s

Windows 8.1 (64Bit)

i7-4790K Processor

 

 

My pc runs arma 2 and bf4 on ultra settings so I think it should play DCS.

Thank you in advance for your help

I know you said you've tried just about every fix listed on the forums, but just by chance did you try right clicking the shortcut and running as administrator?

 

It also looks like it's having issues when setting an input and/or forcefeedback device, so I would unplug any and all joysticks, driving wheels, rudder pedals etc and see if it still crashes; a friend's PC had a similar crashing issue with his driving wheel plugged in. And if your Joystick is a Saitek also remove the Saitek drivers as well and see if it still crashes.

 

Another possibility might be a RAM issue, Win 8 has a built in memtest you can run, hit your windows key and type 'memory' and the 'Windows Memory Diagnostic' should be first listed. It'll ask you to restart and let it run before windows, once it opens it defaults to a 2 pass quick test, but if you hit F10 you can change the test to "extended" and set passes to 0 to loop and run it overnight.

 

Also, in the future before you reformat with Win 8/8.1 you can open up cmd prompt and type:

 

"DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" (without quotes)

 

Which works 100x better than "SFC /scannow". I've had a few times where this solved issues where normally I would have to reformat.

 

If it says store corruption was found instead of the "/ScanHealth" flag use "/RestoreHealth" to repair.

 

The only reason I recommend using "/ScanHealth" first is that "/RestoreHealth" always reports that the corruption was repaired even if there was no corruption, unless of course there was an error.

 

It actually will compare your system files to the online database from Microsoft and download any damaged/corrupt files.

OP, what joystick do you use? And do you have other input devices connected, like steering wheels or anything else with Force Feedback? If so, unplug them. And under Options -> Misc set the force feedback entry to match your joystick type.

Oh my god I love you all thank you sooo much. It was the joystick, I have a saitek rumble force cyborg 3d joystick. Will I be able to set the joystick up to use it in game?

I'm glad to hear your issue was narrowed down. Without the Saitek drivers you should still be able to use the joystick, but you may have luck re-installing the drivers and see if it still works, but there was a thread that mentions the need to delete a few registry keys which should allow the joystick to work as normal.

Check out that thread and see if that fully solves it for you. Make sure to backup any registry keys before deleting as a good precaution.
