[RESOLVED]game start ocassionally crashes PC

[gulredrel]

I'm getting occasionally PC crashes while starting the game.

Game even isn't able to generate crash dump file.

Once I moved controls during game loading and got DCS appcrash. Then it was loading okay. Next time I started, PC went off while loading the game.

 

See Attachment for details.

 

Did a complete reinstall yesterday, only addon module currently installed is Mi-8.

 

Regards

Jens

Thanks gulredrel,

 

Bare in mind your GPU is below minimum spec having a GTX 460 1gb

 

Try lowering the ingame settings to see if you see a difference in the frequency of your crashes.

 

Ive added the minimum and recommended spec below

 

Minimum system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i3; RAM: 8 GB; Free hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: 2 GB RAM card, DirectX11 - compatible; requires internet activation.

 

Recommended system requirements: OS 64-bit Windows 7/8/10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+; RAM: 16GB; Hard disk space: 30 GB; Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX780 / ATI R9 290 DirectX11 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

uuh... has this been changed lately?

 

Will try lowering settings. mmhh... My wife asked for christmas present, maybe new video card would be nice...

Will try a repair and rename DCS user folder.

mmhh... My wife asked for Christmas present, maybe new video card would be nice...

 

Good luck with that, I never ask my wife, she would say no, I like to live dangerously and just buy it without saying anything :)

[gulredrel]

Did a flight yesterday, 1920 x 1080 and low settings. No problems.

Cockpit textures were bad as expected, are they influenced by general texture quality or which setting? Will try to raise some settings.

 

For the rest, waiting for christmas ;)

[BIGNEWY]

good to hear you have got some flying in, and fingers crossed for a upgrade :)

[gulredrel]

Got the upgrade, to see if it works before Christmas.:thumbup:

 

4 GB memory GTX960 and 8 GB system RAM.

Get the crashes again during mission load, wenn selecting medium textures.

Are medium settings that different than low, that my system can't handle them?

 

Logs and dxdiag attached.

 

Thanks for the help.
