Crash while using ME in PG map

[sSkullZnBoneZz]

Hello all,

 

 

Since the last update and installing the PG map I have been using the ME to build simple missions for the AV8-B. However, every time I try to add or change ordinance in the ME, DCS crashes. I first notice the aircraft in the bottom right corner stops rotating and when I try to click on anything nothing happens. Shortly after, I get the popup box that DCS has stopped working.

 

Here's my specs:

2017 MSI GE72VR Apache Notebook

Intel i7-7700HQ

GTX 1060

16 GB Ram

Windows 10 with latest updates

 

I'm not a dev or even that good with computers but I did my best to read the crash log and I think this is the problem:

After seeing this I have been searching for a fix all weekend and based on previous posts about similar problems I have already done the following:

 

Geforce Nvidea drivers are up to date, just updated a few days ago

Deleted the Metashader and FXO folders.

Deleted the Saved Game Folder

Have disabled all mods

Did a cleanup and repair multiple times

Game is NOT in the Programs(x86) folder

I'm running DCS as administrator

Page file is managed by Windows 10

 

I have attached the log files.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

Update, after I thought about the crash log and the fact that my laptop has both an Nvidea 1060 and the intergrated graphics enabled, I went into the device manager and disable the integrated graphics card. I started DCS and for about 20 minutes I left the ME running, I kept changing ordinance and skins with no issues. I then decided to force Nvidea to use the GeForce 1060 exclusively when starting DCS and re-enabled my integrated card. As soon as I started DCS and ME and started changing skins it crashed again. So, I guess at least the temporary fix is to disable the integrated graphics but I don't know it that's okay to do permanently or not. Also, I think the laptop battery would die within minutes using the GeForce even for web surfing, etc. Does anyone have any input?

[sSkullZnBoneZz]

Since I disabled the integrated graphics I haven't seen any crashes. I did try to keep the integrated graphics enabled and created a program specific profile in Nvidea that would force DCS to use the 1060 exclusively but that didn't work. So for now I have left the integrated graphics disabled.

 

 

I hope this can serve to help others who have similar issues.

thanks for letting us know sSkullZnBoneZz

No problem, another update, since the last update I did go back to using Nvidea to force DCS to use the GeForce and haven’t noticed a crash.

There she is again......C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\d3d11.dll.

 

AS far as the recommended fix? It's going to be a bad day if your GPU ever fails and you need to boot to your onboard GPU. Ain't gonna happen with it disabled.
