Dubious Penguin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi shar321. I too am getting crashes, it might be helpful for Eagle Dynamics's bug fixers if you include a crash log. You can find it in: C:\Users\Username_here\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\logs. I am getting these CTD's as well, it seems others are also, I've seen some reports mention an ACCESS_VIOLATION error, mine does too. One of the fixers or mods may come along and help you. I'm running version 2.5.4 of the open beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Penguin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It's also worth noting that I'm not getting a crash log generated for every CTD I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagHond Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It's also worth noting that I'm not getting a crash log generated for every CTD I get. Same story here... and the sad consequence of this matter is that I can't be of any help about. Hope only that the devs. can fix this soon.

razo+r Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I just got about 5 crashes in a row without a log. All I did was placing down some SAM templates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyVzla Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Same here, not log, just back to desktop several times [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Penguin Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) In the hope that these are seen, I'll post them here. These are the crash logs that were generated today. There were more than three crashes but these are the crashes that generated logs. I have created an autoexec.cfg file in Config. The crashes occurred in the 2nd mission of the Hornet mini - campaign and in the cold start training mission for the bf-109 on the Caucasus map. I will try to test more but it's time consuming. Hopefully this will be of some help to bug fixers. The latest Nvidia drivers (gtx1080 - 417.35 drivers) are installed, no mods have been installed and I attempted a repair using DCS_updater.exe. I will try wiping and reinstalling my GPU drivers and see if that works.dcs.log-20190106-114843.zipdcs.log-20190106-125224.zipdcs.log-20190106-154419.zip Edited January 7, 2019 by Dubious Penguin Updated to stay in line with bug reporting guidelines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunomar Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Same problem here. No log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubious Penguin Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Further testing If it's of any use to anyone. I deleted the contents of my C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2 folder. I removed all of my Nvidia software and reinstalled only the most up to date video driver. I changed graphics settings SSAA from 1.5x to off and set water from high to medium. I did an initial test and was able to complete the second mission of the Hornet Task Force challenger campaign. I attempted the third mission tonight and got another crash a few minutes into the mission. A crash log was generated. I will try to test different aircraft on different maps soon. The most recent crash log is attached.dcs.log-20190107-213439.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted January 8, 2019 ED Team Share Posted January 8, 2019 Tried the track from your crash log, no crash here. Do you have any mods, reshader, overclocking or anything else going on? If it's of any use to anyone. I deleted the contents of my C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2 folder.

Dubious Penguin Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Hi Nineline Thanks for getting back to me on this. I had reshade installed for a while but I'm almost certain I removed all the files. Other than reshade I hadn't tried any other mods. No overclocking either. It's the one thing that's come to mind. I'll go back and try to do a more thorough search of the folders for any residual reshade files. If you have any advice on finding those it'd be greatly appreciated. Is there any convenient way to compare my own install to a "clean" install? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubious Penguin Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Hi NineLine I've deleted the contents of both those folders. I tried playing the third mission in the Hornet campaign. I've uploaded the latest crash log.dcs.log-20190109-190416.zip Edited January 9, 2019 by Dubious Penguin Updated with latest results of testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
