Cannot Start DCS

[yahya786]

I resurrected a machine to use as a dedicated server but I cannot get DCS to launch. Ir crashes at the splash screen and I get a message that my display adapter stopped. I have disabled 3d in the autoexec.cfg Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the details.

AMD Phenom Phenom @ 2.6GHz, 8GB Ram, Windows 10 64-bit

Radeon HD5450 - driver version 15.201.1151.1008

How much vRAM does your HD5450 have? DCS 1.5 needs at least 2GB (minimum system requirements), but there were different version of HD5450 on market, with 512MB, 1GB, or 2GB vRAM. Otherwise it should work as HD5450 does support DX11...

Thanks for the Response _Teddy_. I think you're right about VRam. My card only has 1 GB.

I think the capacity of your RAM is much lesser according to DCS.

You have to increase it. It'll start working surely.
