Joining a MP server

[LCO489]

Hi all, i try to get in a server on MP and every time i get a client crash. Does anyone know what might be happening? Does log help to check whats going on?

 

 

If i made an own server i can make it go.

 

 

Thx

Some servers have maximum ping allowances.

 

Many servers insist on “pure clients” (ie No Mods / Only Approved Mods)

 

How’s your ping and are you running any mods?

Neither of those should result in a crash, though, they should bounce back to the menu with their corresponding message.

Please add your dcs.log from your saved games dcs folder location we may see some clues.

Thanks for the log

 

7 ERROR DX11BACKEND: Can't load image '/textures/mig21bis_02_nmp.bmp'. Reason: Not enough memory resources are available to complete this operation.

 

Make sure you have enough room on your c drive and ensure your pagefile is set large enough.

 

It should help.

Im using SSD with no pagefile. Just tried several times checking memory and disc space and thats not the problem. My RAM (16gb) hits around 70%. Is DCS demanding a pagefile to work? Just to make sure i got no problems in SP.

 

 

Sending another log, showing some different itens but resulted in crash, the same way.

 

 

Im getting disapointed with the game at this point. Really wanted to move to MP.

Windows in general needs a page file to work right in terms of memory management, just that it doesn't necessarily start to catch fire when you delete it doesn't mean it's good.

 

Unless you have very very particular needs for a page file, often those are found in server environments and special use cases in all other situations, just leave it at default and auto managed, it won't be utilised until you are completely out of memory space anyways or something is being sent off for long term storage, inow, something program you haven't used in a long while.

And in those cases the modification is more likely to be to increase it so it never goes below a certain threshold.

 

No gaming or simulation has ever truly benefited from removing the page file further than what can be considered a statistical anomaly, and more often than not it's causing other problems.

 

I would expect more performance benefit from shutting down MSI afterburner than messing with the page file.

 

The one positive mod I have done to my own computer in the past in regards to the page file, has only been to move it to a faster drive, or a RAID system setup mainly for speedy access, in a pc consisting of m.2's or SSD's this too is no longer necessary.
