CTDs in Latest Open Beta

[Teeps]

If I try to run the MI-8 instant action missions on the Syria map it CTDs on loading or after a very short time.  This doesn't happen with other aircraft, although I am getting large freezes for the first twenty or thirty seconds on loading, e.g. the F-16 instant action mission.

On the graphics options, reduce the preload value to 30000, as it seems to be an insufficient memory issue.

I had to go down to about 24000, but that did let it load.  Time to order some more RAM.  Honestly, DCS is like the gateway drug to spending on hardware.

yes indeed .. with all the moaning from most users about the cost of DCS modules, it is the machine what has actually required my biggest expenditures

You should try using Low Terrain textures, even in a simple SP mission, High Terrain textures in Syria use ~24 GB RAM

 

This is Syria's RAM use with Low Terrain, Extreme Visibility and vsync OFF 

 

 

You'll also want to increase the size of the Windows page file to 16 GB or 32 GB, as High Terrain textures plus a complex MP mission can use +50 GB.

 

Spoiler

Simple mission (1 aircraft), High Terrain and vsync ON
