Folgers Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Out of the blue I started getting shader compile errors (see attachment 1) when trying to load a map. I then proceeded to repair and upon startup DCS would just crash with a DX11 renderer error (see attachment 2). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried posting in the discord but received no answer.dcs.log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worrazen Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It's hard to say who's at fault, but it's one of the three: driver, dx11 on your PC, the game. MS might have changed something with DX on the latest Win10 version and the driver doesn't support it. MS might have changed something with DX on the latest Win10 version and the driver does support it, but the game doesn't support it. Stuff like that, if you recently updated GPU driver, reinstall an older one, about Windows 10 updates I have no clue since I don't do updates at all (and if I do I use WSUS-Offline) Modules: A-10C I/II, F/A-18C, Mig-21Bis, M-2000C, AJS-37, Spitfire LF Mk.

So this leaves me even more confused since it is completely unplayable now :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folgers Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Hi Are you using a vr shader mod? If so remove and run a cleanup and repair or verify for steam users. No shaders no VR mods and running OB standalone. so none of the above apply. Have tried numerous repairs. The trend leading up to it was multiple integrity check violations from DCS files culminating in this series of crashes first in loading a map and then when loading DCS at all.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted May 1, 2020 ED Team Share Posted May 1, 2020 It is a strange one. try manually deleting the file Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bazar\shaders\enlight\sun.fx then run a cleanup and repair again. Long shot, check antivirus is not creating a problem thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Folgers Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 It is very odd, sorry I dont have a solution it maybe best to contact support directly https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/ thank you Eh my solution was a total uninstall of DCS and related files and reinstall. I notice my video settings menu is now different as well so perhaps I got a corrupted patch when it originally downloaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
