Issues making DCS unflyable

[yycvor]

Hello

 

I seemingly have done every thing in my power to troubleshoot my issues since Build 377 (Pre PG) and both releases have caused inconstant issues I cant get a handle on.

 

I have had DCS running stable on multiple PC builds since the LOMAC days and in particular on my current set up for well over 2 years. My main SSD C:/ eventually got full and in anticipation I purchased another SSD.

 

The previous version before PG release worked for around a month flawlessly on my new D:/ drive including SP and MP without ever having a single error or crash.

 

When 377 came out I was able to enjoy PG for a few hours of SP and MP combined. I shortly became unable to use PG in any situation. It started to crash early during initialization every time and began to take 10 minutes or so to either boot DCS and or load a flight before eventually crashing. I attempted a uninstall/reinstall but a few random texture files for assets were undelete-able. I had to use windows disk scan and repair in order to be able to clean those files off the SDD.

 

I installed and yet again was able to enjoy all maps PG, Caucasus, AV8B, F5 etc for a few hours. After a day or so (gotta work sometime) I would reboot the PC and experience issues loading PG in any situation again...this time without lengthy loading, nor files that could not be deleted.

 

At this point I really started to tinker with DCS, in game video and Nvidia settings, started running cleanup, repair to no real avail. Got updated drivers for GPU, Motherboard, Win10 etc. Began deleting fxo and metashaders folders, then trying deleting saved game folder, mission editor all with reboots in between and trying different situations and maps each attempt.

 

One install loaded maps and situations ok but had bad random 60 second loading/freezing when flying. PG only, Caucaus was fine.

 

Its fairly routine now, completely unflyable after first few loads of a mission of any type.

 

For this current install I even broke the wallet open and upgraded to 16GB RAM from 8GB. I sit unflyable.

 

I wish I kept all the logs for the 100s of crash between my reinstalls, this is just the latest few on the current install. I can say though that nothing seemingly appeared common between installs and what was causing errors in the logs.

Corrupted SDD with bad blocks from factory. Explains everything really :)
