DCS Keeps Crashing

[DarkAngel11]

So a couple of days ago I decided to get back into playing some DCS again. Last time I played 2.0 had just came out and I updated to the new 1.5. Anyways I went to get back into playing again the other day and had to update 1.5 to the newer version which I expected. However, after the update everything works except for when I go to fire Mavericks on the A-10C or fire the GAU-8 it crashes everytime.

 

I have updated my graphics card, tried repairing DCS, and yes my computer has the requirements to run DCS. Also I've tried restoring my computer to previous time and it didn't work, also have uninstalled DCS and reinstalled it and still the same problem.

 

This has been an extreme pain and just want to get back into playing it again.

 

Also I am somewhat computer literate so any feed back please be patient with me on and help explain to me. I know pretty much how to locate most stuff but not ideally on what things do and how I can fix other things.

 

:furious::hmm:

Quit DCS, rename your "Saved Games\DCS" folder and start DCS again.

[DarkAngel11]

Here are my logs BIGNEWY. Hope this gives you something to work with and will have some feedback on how I can fix this issue! Looking to hear back from ya!

Can you post your dxdiag report for us

 

DXDIAG

1. click on "START"

2. click "run"

3. type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"

4. check through the tabs and perform all tests

5. click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

6. attach this text file to your message

 

It looks like it could be related to your gpu, but your machine is a little under minimum for DCS

 

DCS requires 8gb of RAM and your logs show you are only using 6gb

 

try the latest graphic drivers for your card.

[DarkAngel11]

Ok will do. Still very early here haha. Back to what you were saying, I've never had a problem running DCS at all. Even now everything runs smooth and I can launch some weapons but every time the cannon and AGM Missiles the game crashes. Other than that it runs smooth.

[DarkAngel11]

Here are my DXDIAG logs

 

BIGNEWY here is my DXDIAG logs.

Thanks

 

 

I am sorry to say your machine is well below minimum for DCS and is the most likely problem

 

Intel® HD Graphics 5500

 

6144MB RAM

 

DCS Minimum and recommended 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.

I don't understand. Before the 1.5 newest update everything ran perfectly fine. Everything so does now. I'm not saying you're completely wrong but everything still works fine except for firing mavericks and firing my cannon. Fans runs smooth no problems in that regard. I've seen multiple people with the same problem so I believe there got to be a different solution because the game running is fine. No lag or anything.

Running out of Shared System/Video Memory can cause crashes with the DirectX 11 and GPU Driver..

 

This is a Common Crash when Users are using Embedded Intel HD GPU's and System Configurations Below the Minimum Specifications.

 

Simply Put, the effects are more than the Embedded GPU and Shared memory can Handle.

 

You are below Specs..

 

You're Running w/ 6GB Total Ram, which is already below Minimum Specs,

 

And HALF of that Ram is shared w/ the GPU.

My question is why did everything work perfectly fine before?

[BIGNEWY]

My question is why did everything work perfectly fine before?

 

luck? :)

 

Sorry I do not know, as we progress to the 2.5 build new shaders are being added things are being tweaked to use more of the GPU so you may be seeing the results of that progression.

[DarkAngel11]

Well I appreciate you taking your time to help me. Sad day cause I really loved that game and have been able.to play it now I won't be able to.

[BIGNEWY]

treat yourself to an upgrade or new machine, just dont tell the wife / girlfriend / partner :)

[DarkAngel11]

I don't have money right now lol

[BIGNEWY]

I know that feeling :)

[SkateZilla]

If the previous build worked, You can revert back to previous build to continue using DCS.
