169th_Maverick Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Hey guys, my game has been crashing like crazy. I reinstalled, and it worked great, for a month, and then in started so bad that I can't play online. I have a Dell Dimension E520, Vista OS 32bit, 186Ghz intel core 2 cpu, 2 gigs RAM, 1300/1550 series ATI Radeon 256 MB vid card. I am running 1.12B. I changed my resolution from 1058/786 to 1680/1050, and its would crash sometimes right as I started my engines. I switched back to 1280/800, but it still does it. I also got the latest driver for my vid card. I didn't have any mods.
Aeroscout Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 ...Vista OS 32bit... That's the culprit, Exact same thing happened to me. (I began to call it the vista missile that you can't evade) Unfortunately, that's vista, and your going to have to live through it. If you really can't stand it, get XP, but I know many people are reluctant to do this, and for good reason. (I did, but I had to transfer everything and it was a pain) DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices

169th_Maverick Posted March 8, 2008 Author Posted March 8, 2008 OK I don't think that Vista is the culprit. I talked to some friends (both computer experts) and they disagreed. For example, the 169th dedicated server runs Vista. I'm using norton, which uses alot of resources, as well as some other things like a crappy vid card.
159th_Viper Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 ....I'm using norton, which uses alot of resources.............. Should you get fed up with Norton (I know I did) Google and D/L AVG Anti-Virus - lot less resource intensive than Norton, it's free and does the job just as well. For Anti-Spyware Spybot is just as good and also free. Also - have a look at ATI TweakGuides on hints as to better optimize your system. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?
