ASUS BIOS update kills DCS view center

[rickberry49]

Okay gang here is one for the books.

My new rig was running DCS 1.5 just fine but I was having problems with crashes in 2.0. So I updated the BIOS and all went well until I came back in to DCs. Everything works fine with the joystick the rudder pedals and throttle but when I go to use a keyboard command the display freezes, now in both versions. Tried different keyboards same result both versions. I think it might have something to do with a USB driver interface. When I hit a keyboard command it takes forever to respond like it's in a loop somewhere.

Has anyone seen a similar problem after bios update?

What board, what Bios ?

 

Have you loaded F5-Defaults after updating Bios ?

 

Have you changed any Keyboard timings ( if available in Bios ).

 

Have you done a repair ?

 

 

Many Questions before an answer can be given

Thank you for the quick reply. I was just wondering if anyone had seen a similar situation with any bios or motherboard why is my problem unique to the Asus motherboard. I've been away for awhile as soon as I get back I'll most my detail specs and we can take it from there.

Thank you again so much for your quick reply God bless talk to you soon

No problem mate, once you have that info get back to us here in the forum, we usually have many opinions and usually ..sooner or later...we find the culprit :book:

Many Thanks to Bitmaster

 

After 2 bios updates the problem still remained.. so BIOS was not the issue...

Got a reg cleaner and ran several scans, finally got the other apps to respond to keyboard without locking up. But, DCS was still having the issue. All other input devices worked just fine, Joy, throttles, rudder peddles, mouse, throttle, Voice attack and track IR. Just could not use the keyboard without DCS locking up, in SETTINGS or in FLIGHT...

 

While killing the DCS app after a hang I noticed that the app "CAM", monitoring my Kracken CPU cooler, was sucking up some serious CPU %. So I killed it as well. When I returned to DCS the keyboard was now working....!!!!

 

Not sure why a CPU monitor app would cause DCS to hang when I used the keyboard, but... at this point I don't care... I have 1.5 and 2.1.0 working and now starting to play in Normandy and the ASSETS with my P51 (a bugger to fly by the way...) more training...????

 

I'll post my specs here for future ref. if anyone has a similar problem with kracken or ASUS Mobo.

 

Thanks again BitMaster for the reply and effort to help...
