Spiro Spelunker Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Greetings Aviators! Been playing DCS for a few months, worked like a charm, on Win 7 64bit. Upgraded to Win 10 64bit Home upon release and ever since DCS world always crashes after hitting the "Quit" button after a mission/freeflight/campaign mission/training/etc. However, most of the time after windows pops up with a "This program has crashed blabla" I click the "Cancel" button on the popup and 80ish % of the time the game recovers with no loss of progress. But it's extremely annoying and especially when trying to continue my UH-H1 Campaign and it doesn't register my progress if the program crashes completely. I have all drivers up to date and only mods running are: DCS Enhanced Textures Clickable Radio Menus (they have worked without hickups before) Important hardware notes: GTX 960 4GB Saitek X55 Hotas Freetrack (homemade rig/Webcam, works 100% awesome) Nvidia Drivers version: 355.98 Has this happened to anyone else? Am I missing a key thing to avoid this issue? Grateful for any tip or hints to help me sort this out since I Looooove my Huey :thumbup: Thanks SpiSpel *Edit* This happens in both DCS World and DCS World Beta!

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted September 26, 2015 ED Team Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hi Spiro Spelunker and welcome to the forums. The first thing to do is remove your mods, and do a repair so you can rule them out as the problem. If you are still getting the crash you will find a DCS folder in your saved games folder, right click and zip the logs folder and attach it to a reply here, it may hold some clues. also take a look here for some general troubleshooting guides. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=88164 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Spiro Spelunker Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Excellent post boedha68. I think I have fixed it actually. Before I even tried out any troubleshooter or repair or disable mods or etc, I simply just right clicked the shortcut on the desktop and set it to "Run as Administrator" and it hasn't crashed since. Ran a campaign mission and three freeflights, quit now ends session and returns to debrief without any problems :D Thanks for your combined replies, now I can progress this awesome campaign :D Regards/ SpiSpel!

Wolf Rider Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 okay... what you need to do, is move the install to a separate Hard Drive, or set the root folder /security/ Users to Full Permissions. It means you probably have DCS installed to C drive/ Program Files?

Spiro Spelunker Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi there Wolf Rider, thanks for the reply. Actually, I have both DCS/DCS Beta on my SSD C:\Games\ But as I mentioned in my last post, it is sorted now; all I had to do was set the Desktop Shortcut to run as Administrator and it hasn't crashed or bugged out since :) If that's all it takes then I'm completely content. I understand your advice, but I feel I don't need to mess anymore with it as it works now. Thank you for the reply though and fly safe :) SpiSpel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
