CMD prompt window for one instant then CTD

[TripRodriguez]

Hey guys, before I really beat my brains out trying to figure this out I just wanted to see if others are having this problem or if you have any advice.

 

I took a quick look at the logs (am I supposed to be looking at the zip folder ones?) and didn't see anything about errors or anything like that.

 

Anyway, the main thing that has me concerned is that while flying (in VR) suddenly what appears to be a command prompt window flashes for just a split second.. then about 3-5 seconds later DCS just disappears. Is this common/normal with DCS crashes?

 

I did a fresh windows install yesterday expecting that to fix this but it did not. FYI I'm playing in VR and using an export.lua for my motion simulator. Probably tomorrow I'll try with the export.LUA removed just to make sure this still happens.

 

I had no problems at all a week ago, then logged in yesterday and I can only get maybe twenty minutes of gameplay before this happens.

 

Thanks for any help,

Trip

 

PS- If anyone wants me to post logs, please confirm that the ones in the zip folder are the ones I should be grabbing and I'll be happy to upload them.

Hi TripRodriguez

 

Yes we would like to see the zip folder, it should contain all the info we need.

 

also let us know your system spec.

Hi

 

thanks for the info, I have tried to reproduce but was unable.

 

The crash seems to point to your gpu, what driver version are you using?

It maybe worth updating to the latest driver if it is not.

 

If you still have no joy I would recommend renaming your dcs saved games folder ( keep it as a backup your inputs and other user files can be moved afterwards )

do a cleanup and repair of DCSWorld, then restart DCS it will create a new saved games dcs folder.

 

This will ensure there is no script, setting or mod creating an issue.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks BigNewy, I'll try that procedure tonight. Sounds like solid advice, especially since I copied my DCS saved games folder over rather than doing everything over from scratch after I reinstalled windows.

 

Graphics driver is the latest version according to the GeForce Experience updater, I fully updated Windows and Nvidia after the windows reinstall.

 

I did also do a reinstall of SteamVR after I posted this, so I'll test that first and then move on to renaming the saved games folder if the crash still occurs.

Well, no DCS CTD tonight. Now I'm getting some hard locks but that's happening even when DCS isn't running so nothing for you to worry about. Thanks!
