Decho Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Since the stable version of 2.5.2 was released I have been getting crashes, mostly on mission load (any mission, immediately after selecting an aircraft if mission configured that way). Occasionally I have also seen this crash in the editor with no apparent prompt. I have attached four sample logs from these crashes. I have used the repair tool numerous times, and after that didn't work I have done a complete reinstall of the game which also has not helped. I have also updated my graphics drivers though they were pretty recent anyway. I have also tried loading the game with/without various modules, trying them uninstalled as well, but with no real benefits. My system has an i7 4770k, 16GB RAM and a GTX1080, with the game installed on an SSD. Any help would be appreciated; DCS is completely unplayable at the moment for me.dcs.log-20180629-202824.zipdcs.log-20180629-164207.zipdcs.log-20180628-183821.zipdcs.log-20180629-201821.zip Edited June 30, 2018 by Decho
Art-J Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Whenever repair and cleanup or reinstall don't seem to help, the problem usually lies somewhere in Saved Games/DCS location (which neither repair nor reinstall affect, so the game will freeze/crash anyway). And if you say the crash happens on mission load, that sounds like a very usual occurence many of us dealt with - I'd first remove the "MissionEditor" folder from the aforementioned directory to let the game build a new one and see what happens. Keep the logbook.lua file, however, as this is where your logbook and campaigns porgress is stored. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Decho Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks for the advice. I've tried that however and no joy - I purged the whole DCS saved game folder (backing up the logbook/user missions for later), and I'm still getting the crash on mission load (log file attached). Any other ideas?dcs.log-20180630-074450.zip
Decho Posted June 30, 2018 Author Posted June 30, 2018 The plot thickens: the open beta runs fine on one of my hard drives. As that's the same version as the stable build installed on my SSD I imagine the SSD is the thing making the difference. Any ideas what I can do about that? Have run various health checks for the SSD and everything says it's fine.
