DCS Random Crashes

[PaulG]

I'm getting frequent and random crashes.

 

The goes blank, and a loud sound plays from the speaker. The only way to get out of this is to hold the power button down for several seconds to turn the PC off.

 

So here is what I know and have done...

it only happens in DCS, no other flight sim (MSFS, Elite Dangerous) and no other games

I'm running the latest version download yesterday

It's not the load on the GPU or CPU. I can stress test both for a significant amount of time.

All updates to Windows and graphics drivers have been done

I have reinstalled completely DCS (not in the default directory as I do not have enough space on the C:\ drive)

 

My specs are...

i7-6700k

Gigabyte Z170

Radeon Vega 64

32gb ram

Gigabyte 1tb SSD (I have tried other discs as well)

CH Pro throttle, fighter stick, Thrustmaster pedals and  T16000M stick

Home made "TrackIR" clip and a PS3 Eye camera

VoiceAttack

 

Actually I have put the fighter stick grip on the T16000M base, as the fighter stick gimbals horrendous around centre, and the base of the T16000M has lots of buttons.

 

Any ideas? Anyone else having issues like this?

 

It's really stopping me getting into the game as it can happen are 5mins, 1 hour or more. Just random

 

Thanks

You would be better off to post this thread in DCS World 2.5>Bugs and Problems>Game crash subforum . You should also attach your DCS log for troubleshooting purposes . 

Forum username Flappie seems to be the go-to guy for troubleshooting now . You might try a pm to him .
