Crash to desktop only in MP

[Borderline]

I've been doing tutorial all day without encountering any issue but it's an all other story playing online. I've been trying about 4 server but as some point the game crash. I have an high end pc with 16 Gb of Ram (which I initially thought it was the issue), 2080 and 2700X.

I removed any overclock I had with no result. I repaired and cleaned the game (which I downloaded yesterday after taking a one year break, before it worked fine btw). I am running the open beta.

I usually run obs, spotify and discord in the background and my ram utilisation is between 70 and 97% while running dcs.

I also have saved the crash log but have no idea how to read it or where to upload it.

Hi, please attach your DCS.log file here (Go Advanced > Manage Attachments).

I don't know what's happening to you. I've found a similar behavior in a 2019 post, but its author didn't explain if/how he solved the issue. Edited August 4, 2020 by Flappie

[Borderline]

Unfortunately this to me means nothing but thanks for your time, will it help if I say that whenever DCS crash it usually crash with another app like discord/obs or icue? (obs was running but not recording)

[Borderline]

I found this post from 2018 in which people are having similar issue with default overclock card like mine, maybe it help https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=226259&page=3

[Flappie]

I see other guys could solve what looks like the same issue. One removed a VR shader mod, and the other removed all OC. I see you've done this already.

 

 

Do you run any mod?

[Borderline]

Nope game is fresh and clean, also did a clean and repair with no results. About the overheating regarding the other thread, mine goes as high as 66 C so shouldn't be an issue at all.

Edited August 4, 2020 by Borderline

[Flappie]

Can you please empty both fxo and metashaders2 folders under the Saved Games folder?

It seems to have helped quite a few people having this issue.

[Borderline]

Will I have to re do anything if I delete those folders? Meaning settings, ecc...

[Flappie]

Nope, you just have to remove the files they contain, then start the game (files will be re created). You won't lose anything.

 

 

 

If this doesn't solve the issue, you may consider upgrading to the latest Nvidia driver, then redo the fxo/metashaders2 purge.

I'm already running the latest drive; I'm testing if the crash still occur while we speak

[Flappie]

Ok. Fingers crossed...

Regarding your driver, the log file says you are (were?) running on 451.67. Several users reported they were using the latest Studio driver (451.77) with great success.

Thanks for the info, I m running the "gaming" option driver but I'll try those regardless of the result since I also use adobe a lot, thanks for the info and the help.

[Flappie]

You're welcome. Please let us know if the issue persists.

[Borderline]

yep it does, one weird thing that I notice is that sometime when in game I can hear my audio dropping (spotify song) and getting stuck at a lower volume. Now that DCS crashed also crashed obs and icue. Also It didn't create a crash file, or better there is one but with just a few line in it

dcs.log

[Flappie]

I can't open the latest DCS.log file. Can you please copy-paste its content in your post?

[Borderline]

So I tried installing the other driver, same issue it crashed as soon as I started loading the plane so I was able to spawn and then it crashed while before it would crashed after minutes in to it.

Il'l copy paste the crash file

No, I use track IR

[Flappie]

Ok, another interesting lead is the Windows pagefile: you only have 12GB of pagefile when your system runs on 16GB of RAM.

08-04 18:17:39.516 INFO DCS: CPU cores: 8, threads: 16, System RAM: 16299 MB, Pagefile: 12288 MB

Can you please change it to Windows default (let Windows decide) and if it's already using default setting, set it to 16384 MB?

 

 

See here for help: https://mcci.com/support/guides/how-to-change-the-windows-pagefile-size/

[Borderline]

ok, I've set it to 16384. Previously I was trying single player and for the time I was flying I had no issue,

Also, not sure if this is related, the server list is taking like minutes to load up and my internet seems fine.

issue still there, straight crash to desktop not even asking for the log file to be sent or saved, icue crashed as well. I'm starting to get so pissed.

Was doing more testing on the stable version (which is the same version as OB so I don't think nothing could change), Well I was carefully watching Ram utilisation which was at 9Gb (DCS only) and 90% utilisation, when it went to 4/5Gb (still talking about DCS) and still 90% utilisation (closed obs and spotify and google); game crashed and it literally wipe out my Nvidia driver as I am re downloading them as I type.

What in the actual **** is wrong with these game is beyond me and my competence, can we have a member of ED to take a look pls?
