too many crashes?

[BIGNEWY]

OK here's another crash with the F-18

 

Thanks that track played well for me, but did not produce a crash on my machine.

 

Please ensure windows and your display driver is up to date, I will ask another tester to try.

Thanx BIGNEWY both my windows and GPU drivers are up-to-date. the fact that these crushes are not random but consistent (happen in every mission and module) and DO NOT happen in the stable version means IMHO that it's got to do with the the 2.5.6 version itself and not other factors.

Hi

 

I would agree with you, but I am unable to reproduce on my machine, it could be that the track replay just does not show it correctly

 

as soon as I have news about the next patch I will let everyone know

 

thanks

Thanx BIGNEWY

Another super weird issue I have is when I enter a mission (SP) and hit "FLY" I enter an external view of another aircraft of the red side (MiG 29 and such) as if I an in "F2" view. When I hit the F2 key and scroll through all aircrafts till I get to see mine I see it from F2 view but I can't enter the cockpit. I am forced to look at it as if an AI is flying it. doesnt matter if I hit F1 - I am still in F2 view. Only when I hit "quit" and exit the mission, then enter it AGAIN I can start it in the cockpit.

 

wierd or what?

 

*EDIT* - seems that this phenomena only happens when I enter the mission editor to change weapons load end such. It doesn't happen when I enter the mission "as-is".

I sniffed a little in my crash log and found two items that maybe related to the crashes:

 

1. a line saying: "AmdPowerXpressRequestHighPerformance + 0xBC9D42" just before the crash

I have no AMD in my computer I find it weird that DCS code "requests" it

2 another thing in my crash .dmp log : found a file called "f18c_cpt-glass_canopy.dds"

 

could it be related?

 

I'm reaching for straws here...:cry:

I think its great that DCS is replying with help, but do you guys not realize this is not a PC issue, this is a complete mess across the board.

 

Servers aren't even upgrading to the latest patch and sitting at two versions ago now.

There may be lots of issues, some of which are related to individual set-ups and some of which are not. I am about to try this track now and see if it works for me

[hornblower793]

@Bignewy @SB11

 

 

I replayed the F/A-18 track with no issues for me until the end

 

 

F-14 flew into the sea of the carrier deck on replay so I flew again taking control. @SB11 - I don't know what your flight plan was so I flew around for a good 20 minutes letting numerous missiles be launched at me and the wingman - there was no crash for me.

 

 

Will now try the F/A-18 track again and take control just before the end to see what happens as missiles hit

 

 

Edit: Have now done this and flew through happily downing all bandits

Great to here, thanks

OK - I did a total re installment of Openbeta 2.5.6 and so far no crashes... BUTT!

strangely enough - getting into a flight is still a bit awkward it goes like this:

1. pick a mission (single or campaign)

2. go into mission planer - choose a loadout

3. hit fly

4. you get an outside view of a random A/C with no ability to get in your cockpit.

5. hit quit

6. do the process again - and then you WILL start normally inside your cockpit

 

so- what goes?

Good to hear you can fly now.

 

Can you attach your fresh dcs log

 

Are you using SSD or HDD could it be load time, during shader creation?

 

thanks

[silentbob11]

The game doesn't crash so what log are you referring to?

I have an SSD drive

 

thanx

in your saved games open beta logs folder you will see a file called "dcs"

 

this is the log from your previous session.

 

you will need to zip it to attach here

 

thanks

This is a bug and reported, thank you.

My crashes are a strange one

 

My crashes are a strange occurrence, I can get into the cockpit start engines then I start getting screen flicker of large black boxes the cover one side of the screen alternating left and right side of the screen before the game crashes. I've tried setting my graphics to low and msaa and the others to off, no affect either way. The aircraft\theater does not affect this, attached is my crash log thanks.

Nine are strange

 

One more crash log

 

 

!!!!!Fixed!!!!!!

 

 

I also dialed back my video card from it's default factory overclock setting and no crashes, weird but it works. Thanks whoever that was which came up with that solution!

Good to hear, yes some overclocks will become unstable in DCS .

 

Thanks
