DCS black screen crashing, logs included

[SKIPPY 7-7]

After updating all drivers the latest beta still crashes with a black screen at random points. This is incredibly frustrating.

Hi syncs, your zip file doesn't contain the dcs.log file. We can't tell you what happened without this log.

Oh sorry, I'll upload it tomorrow. In the mean time I have ran the DCS update clean-up and repair tools (opting to remove dozens of unnecessary files)as well as regenerating shader cache. I got to fly trouble free in the A-10C II on the hoggit training server for a good amount of time.

Thank you. Here's what we can see:

 

(08:02:45) Disconnection from the MP server. Were you kicked out or was it intentional?

 

(08:02:56) Connection to an MP server.

 

(09:47:00) Disconnection from the MP server then immediate return to the main menu. Kicked out or intentional?

 

(09:47:03) DCS is ordered to quit. The log misses about 15 lines. Looks like the shutdown procedure got abruptly interrupted.

 

Do you know precisely when you got the black screen?

I haven't been kicked out of any server and I didn't quit the server. It just happened again, creating a new thread now with the logs
