I have the 1080ti Jetstream version

It was clocked to 1873 MHz boost out of the box.

even so it should be ok.

If you are getting better results under clocking slightly great :thumbup:

I'll keep testing DCS during the day, I hope this was the root cause of my problems.

thanks

it is very odd, I have seen gpu drivers crash before but never seen a repeating one like this.

can you attach here or send via a link and a PM your dxdiag?

I will be happy to take a look at that also

I have tried repair, clean, and delete user files. Even deleted and redownloaded the game for a clean install and still getting the errors. Seems the .dll file which throws the crash is changing. Disabled my anti virus while playing but still get crashes

All the logs reference a C0000005 Access_Violation although to different .dll files

As a test I lowered my graphic settings for trees and grass, from what I had after the open beta was released. Plus turned off mirrors.

When it was first released I had no issues with the settings, but the next couple is where it started. If I did a clean driver install I could get 30-40 minutes before crashing in either single or MP. Then it would get progressively worse to 45-60 seconds then crash.

Anyways, have flown all day without a single crash so until I decide to get off my wallet and buy a new video card with more horsepower, I seem to be fine. At least for now

I get constant crashes in the latests beta builds. Tried to lower the gpu freq. for my 1080ti but nothing that has removed the crashes completely. Agree it feels like it’s dcs that somehow pushes the card to crash. I tried several different driver versions - no effect. I tried to run a driver cleanup twice to do a completely new re-install.

Not sure what to do next. I was thinking of changing the psu. I have tried this before when I had issues with mass effect (the game would do a hard reset if the reset...) but with questionable effect.

Could the power draw somehow be so big it crashes the card using certain instructions at run-time? Is it possible to enable any debugging apart from the existing log?

Is it possible to enable any debugging apart from the existing log?

in your autoexec.cfg in your saved games location add line

C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg

log.set_output("dcs", "", log.ALL, log.FULL)

Hello BIGNEWY

This is my first time posting so please forgive any rough-and-ready formatting (like the table below - looks neat in my text-editor, which responds to tabs and spaces :)).

I've read through this thread from the start and there are close parallels to my situation, but I'll come back to that later. The immediate problem is about the "autoexec.cfg" file. I can't find one in my DCS directories. All I've got in the "Saved Games directory is:

================================================================================

=============================================

I've even searched the whole of the DCS World tree: no joy! There's an "autoexec.lua" but that's in Scripts & ModelViewer.

Is my installation missing something?

BIGNEWY · July 8, 2018

Hi

you have to create the autoexec.cfg manually

SpitFlyer · July 8, 2018

Hello

Tried it and I can see a lot more info (DEBUG lines etc).

Am I right in thinking that you switch off the extra stuff by simply removing (renaming) the autoexec file?

Is there somewhere a treasure-trove that describes all these extra features that only seem to be leaking out piecemeal? I'd love to see a User Guide for behind-the-scenes facilities and "things you can switch on for extras" :-)

thestardawg · July 19, 2018

just wanted to say this is real issue. it would be a miracle if I ever finished one campaign mission, because mine is crashing nearly every game. between track ir resetting every 5 minutes, or crashing. to now dcs world crashing constantly it's very hard to get excited about turning this on.

C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION issues

Greetings, I hope this thread is active and monitored by people that matter. That being said, I too suffer from C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes of varying DLLs. I use the Vive VR, if that matters. I have done some research on this, and all sources point to programs accessing parts of Virtual Memory that are off limits. I have doubled my Swap File size to do further testing, but I am reaching out to see if there are solutions that may be coming out of dev. The problem seems to be increasing. I had one issue in FEB, then 1 in APR, 3 in May, 3 in June, and now 6 in July. I will attach all of my July logs if that helps.

Well, I guess I cannot attach my logs because they exceed the 9 mb limit of the forum. one log is 13 mb, the other is 20.

Ok, after looking in the Zip files, in order to make them smaller, I needed to delete the trk file that was in the log. If this is needed, I dont know how to get it included without exceeding the limit

Adding Crash logs

BobbyC-101st · September 3, 2018

The GTX 1080 Ti is too powerful for DCs......calm it down a little with MSI Afterburner.

Graphics back off to -12

Memory back off to -25

DcS is working fine again

See attachment photo of my MSI

Hi, i've encountered several game crash in multiplayer and some on quick solo mission.

I don't know what is the problem. I've changed the folders location, switch ssd to hdd, add virtual memory, check graphical and directx drivers, check for VCRedist updates. The game still crashing...

I'm on the stable version of the game.

Some log:

-Online crash:
