[BIGNEWY]

Hi sze5003

 

please ensure all driver and windows is up to date.

 

Follow my crash advice below, if you are using any unofficial modifications remove them, and then retest.

 

let us know how you get on

 

thanks

I'm using the latest drivers from Nvidia minus geforce experience. Deleted my saved games folder but backed up misison, mission editor and inputs folder. Put them back in after launching dcs and this time doing the same misison it did not crash. Although I suspect the type of crashing I'm having mid misison is random.

I have found that all my crashes happened with old 2.5.0 missions.

New build missions in 2.5.1 has not crashed DCS for me yet, even after prolonged flights.

Unfortunately DCS crashed

 

I'm getting regular crashes in 2.5.1 (Oculus). Old missions, new missions, it doesn't seem to matter. Everything runs fine for 5-15 minutes but eventually the game will freeze.

 

These freezes eventually led to a bsod, which seems to have corrupted some files. Simshaker and Voice Attack both had corrupted files after the bsod. I seem to have them working again but DCS still freezes. I'm wondering if its time to reformat :cry:

 

Log file attached.

 

Thanks! :pilotfly:

Crash resolved!

 

same here crashes just before mission start. reverted back, no crash. Updated to 2.5.1 again and crashes again. seems to happen on Normandy mostly, how ever has happened on Nevada map once or twice. Hasn't crashed on Caucasses map yet. checked driver, is up to date. no mods, tried clean and repair. no help. single monitor.

 

Usually means a GPU is Being removed from the system by driver or windows kernel.

 

Thank You Skatezilla,

You Hit the nail on the head. I had game crash and lag, stutters and micro stutters, to the point of being almost unplayable even in single player( Caucases was ok in SP, but Nevada and Normandy would not load), and crashed trying to log on to any MP servers. I tried drivers, deleting saved games, Fxo and metashaders folders, deleting maps and reloading, cleaned up and repairs. nothing helped. the video driver always came up as up to date, no Windows or system errors. At this point I was :mad:.

 

 

To make a long story shorter, I Finally just deleted the video driver, and reinstalled it, deleted the folders again, fired up the game again, and things seemed better but still crashed trying MP.

 

However this time it threw out a video driver/Kernel went offline and recoverd error, AAhhh Now we are getting somewhere... so I checked the video driver again and low and behold it updated it... checked it again and it updated again did this till it came back as up to date (3 times)....

 

Fired up the game again and the difference is like night and day... No more stutters, MP works on all maps and servers, loading times are better, and is so much smoother its amazing.

 

 

I would recommend any one who is having crash/performance issues and have the "device removed" error" delete their video driver as mine was apparently corrupted and was up to date. I hope this helps someone else.

 

Thanks again Skatezilla!
