Game Crashes only on Persian Gulf Map

I can run on Caucasus just fine. the only other module I have is FC3. I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling my graphics drivers with DDU, and given the game full admin permissions. I also tried the repair feature, no dice. Running version 2.5.6.58125 (Open Beta).

 

When the game crashes, it either doesn't generate a log file or generates an empty log file (0KB in size). Often it will crash without generating the 'DCS has crashed' popup. Sometimes it crashes in the loading screen, other times it crashes about a minute in to gameplay (on P.G), usually when I check the map or F2 over to another plane. The longest I've had it run without crashing was a cold start at night on Al-Dhafra, where it ran for about 5 minutes as I mapped my controls.

 

Usually, the game crashing will cause my screen to flicker or go black and then turn back on. Sometimes, my screen will flicker and the DCS 'your game has crashed' popup will appear as the game is still running. When this happens I'm able to fly for about 30 seconds more before a full crash, but I noticed that the map doesn't load in fully when I hit F10, areas further from my plane remains grey squares.

 

Often, the game crashing/freezing will cause other tasks running on my computer (Discord, Firefox) to also crash (not just freeze, I get a full on "we're sorry but Firefox has crashed" popup).

 

In my resource monitor, I don't see any unusual spikes in temperature or resource usage before the game crashes.

 

All other games run fine on max settings (Doom Eternal, War Thunder, Squad, etc).

 

I've attached a screenshot of my graphics settings.

Hi. Please attach your dxdiag log (here's how to obtain it).

 

You say DCS doesn't produce any log, but I've never heard such complaint. Can you please ensure your "C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs" folder is completely empty? Even an old log might help. If you find anything there, please attach it here.

I've attached my DxDiag file and DCS logs. Maybe I misunderstood how the log files were generated. There are log files in the folder, but sometimes when the game crashes it does not generate a new one.

dcs.log-20201207-055647.zip dcs.20201207-055647.dmp dcs.20201207-055647.crash dcs.log-20201207-060227.zip dcs.log-20201207-164240.zip dcs.log.old dcs.20201207-164240.dmp dcs.log DxDiag.txt debrief.log dcs.log-20201207-054150.zip dcs.20201206-052548.dmp dcs.20201206-052548.log dcs.20201206-052548.crash

Perfect! Your crashlog is here. At first, let me explain what these files are:

  • dcs.log : log of your latest (or current) DCS session
  • dcs.log.old : log of the session before the latest (or current) DCS session -> That's where I've found the crash log.
  • *.crash : small excerpt of dcs.log when a crash happens (quite useless when you get a dcs.log)
  • *.dmp : crash dump for ED devs (unreadable for mere mortals like us)
  • DxDiag.txt : log produced by the Windows DirectX diagnostic tool, can be quite useful -> You'll see... 😉
  • *.zip : archive containing all of the above, sometimes less

Now, you're dealing with a "not enough memory" crash:

There may be two reasons for this, and both are related to your Windows pagefile:

  1. Your DCS log shows the game was only given a small 5GB pagefile.
  2. A pagefile is stored on a physical drive, and its size can grow to 30 GB or more. Your dxdiag indicates all your drives are almost full! See for yourself:

  

      Drive: C:
 Free Space: 34.4 GB
Total Space: 952.5 GB
File System: NTFS
      Model: CT1000MX500SSD4

      Drive: D:
 Free Space: 461.2 GB
Total Space: 953.7 GB
File System: NTFS
      Model: HGST HTS721010A9E630

      Drive: E:
 Free Space: 32.4 GB
Total Space: 243.6 GB
File System: NTFS
      Model: INTEL SSDPEKKW256G8

      Drive: F:
 Free Space: 5.2 GB
Total Space: 476.9 GB
File System: NTFS
      Model: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB

 

 

I advise you to make a bit of cleaning and/or backup heavy files you don't use much on an external drive, in order to free up some space.

Then launch DCS and see how much pagefile it is given (in the very first lines of your dcs.log file).

 

If your DCS keeps crashing after this, come back here and we'll fix this.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your hard work!

 

I had manually limited my windows pagefile to 5GB. My understanding was that it is used as an overflow space when no RAM is available. I thought that because I had 32GB of RAM, I wouldn't need a large pagefile (unless my RAM was maxed out), but I could be wrong.

 

I will set the pagefile to 30GB and try Persian Gulf, again thank you very much!
