dscamp Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Hello Everyone, I was hoping that someone could help me figure out why I get crashes to desktop without any error codes or logs. It has been going on for a few updates now. Sometimes it's random, sometimes after 1-2hrs of MP. It's pretty frustrating because I usually host for a few friends, and after an hour or two into the mission...CTD and frustrated friends lol. My specs are as follows: MSI Z370 M5 Gaming EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2, 80+ PLATINUM 1200W H100i v2 i7 8700k @ 4.8Ghz 64gb Corsair Dominators @ 2440Mhz EVGA 1080ti FTW3 / Driver 419.17 NVMe (OS) Barracuda 4tb (Apps) Firecuda HDD (Steam) Samsung Evo SSD 500gb (Racing Sims) Samsung Evo SSD 500gb (DCS & Saved Games Folder) Phanteks Enthoo Pro HOTAS Warthog CH Pedals TrackIR 5 Logitech FSP Gametrix Jetseat kw-908/Buttkicker 2 To me, this is an indication of a memory leak...although I cant see that happening with 64gb ram + a 16348mb pagefile. I also run process lasso to set affinity to physical cores and elevate IO & memory to high. Mods I use are modified keybinds (.lua), reshade, a4, Harrier sounds and a few others. Even disabled, I still get CTD. I have cleaned up & repaired DCS numerous times. If there is anything I can provide you guys with that would help diagnosing, please let me know. Thank you guys so much!

toutenglisse Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) My bet is a GPU OC that get instable because intensive scenario (happened to me recently). If you run OC try to run with factory values to see if it works. Edit : I'll add : if your GPU was always at 100% load when CTD, I think oc stab. is the issue.

dscamp Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Memory was at 16gbram usage and gpu 80% so I dont think its a memory leak. I did try SP and mission editor and got CTDs. It's gotten really bad, almost unplayable. I had crashes minutes after opening DCS. One of the crashes did manage to report a code. Please let me know if someone can help me out with this.

toutenglisse Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 You should post here your DCS.txt file (in savegame\DCS\logs folder) just after a CTD. Even if no crash log is created, the DCS.txt file holds data of matters. People with knowledge of this data then could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscamp Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Sorted out the problem. I was getting a an ntdll.dll error on dcs crashes per windows event viewer. Tried doing a startup repair and wouldn't even complete. After doing some research, I found that there were a lot of windows updates that hadn't been pushed for some reason. Applied the updates, ran sfc /scannow and everything is working flawlessly. Hopefully this will help others who were having the same problem as I did. Thanks everyone!
