Constantly crashing to desktop upon starting the game

[aerolet]

Hello all

 

First would like to start by apologizing if my query has been raised here before. The game is constantly crashing few seconds after starting the game and I tried many possible solutions but none did work for me, I updated the video card drivers, updated windows as well, tried re installing the game but none worked, maybe someone in here could guide me to another method. I thank you for your time and help.

Hi you'll need to send us more infos to figure out your issue. Can you send a dxdiag and your dcs.log? Also do you have any overclock? Mods installed? If you can't reach the main menu then something might not load. Try a DCS update and cleanup following these instructions : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/repair/

Hi aerolet

 

welcome to the forum, fell free to PM me, if you can attach your dcs log after a crash, you can find it in your saved games dcs log folder, file just called dcs. 

 

thanks

Hi Aerolet , can I say I had the same issue and only on DCS , other graphic intense games were fine .In my  case I switched my PSU (in fact I took a gamble a went for the same model) as I had got to the end of  the updating , installing , clearing cache , verifying  etc . I was actually going  to basically totally upgrade my PC and I started with the PSU as it was the cheapest component! I was lucky .  If you are suffering  a power off  crash and your PC is  not very new it may be worth trying  that ! If it crashes to desktop it probably is something  else but as the others has said in that case you may be able to get a crash report .

Good Luck
