CTD - Access violation

[PhoenixBvo]

The latest two crashes to desktop occurred while loading the third mission in the Spitfire Epsom campaign.

DCS World version 2.5.0.14044

 

According to the log it was due to an access violation in edterrainGraphics41.dll possibly caused by an out of memory error:

No zipped report was created automatically. For reference, I include the zip containing the logs from the last two such crashes.

 

I also experienced a crash to desktop earlier (4 feb) while flying the same mission (so loading was successful then). This was with the version before the current hotfix.

I'm including the automatically generated zipped report from this crash as well.

 

To the ED team: I wish you the best of luck fixing these bugs, we totally depend on you for a stable release!! Your hard work is appreciated, please take your time to make sure it will be really stable as currently I cannot enjoy 2.5 as I wish I could.

Thanks for the logs PhoenixBvo

 

this looks like the memory issue ED are looking into

[PhoenixBvo]

DCS World 2.5.0.15184

I get the same type of crashes to desktop in the same mission as the OP (third mission, Epsom campaign), except with this version the sim hasn't managed to write an error log at all.

So all I have is two regular log files which were written during such crashes.

Thanks for the log

 

just noticed this at the end

 

2018-03-19 20:18:59.644 ERROR DX11BACKEND: Failed to create shader resource view for /textures/bf-109k-4_dam.dds. Reason: Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

 

Ive not seen this before.

 

I am just guessing here.

 

Does your C drive have enough space on it for the pagefile?

[PhoenixBvo]

Hmm, interesting suggestion. I think my C drive has enough free space (115 GB). But the SSD on which DCS World is installed has only 128 GB drive space in total and DCS uses almost 100 GB. Do you think I need to get a bigger one?

No I don't think so, That should be plenty.

 

I will see what I can find out.

:thumbup: thanks!

[BIGNEWY]

I think this is more to do with memory allocation and not pagefile to be honest.

 

I will ask a team member but it might not be until the morning now.
