Thanks Flappie. I've had full screen optimizations disabled for a while, so I don't think this is the culprit unfortunately.

Then you really should give it a go. See here:

 

 

@TRShrumPlease open a new thread and attach your dcs.log file ( C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log ). I may simply appear as "dcs".

please remove all unofficial mods and run a verify in steam

 

thanks

For me it was resolved by going to NVIDIA control and resetting everything back to default settings and stopping overclocking. Funny thing is before 2.7 my fps after overclocking was between 30-40fps. After 2.7 and without overclocking 50-80fps.

great to hear, thanks for letting us know

My problem solved.  Removed ALL Third Party mods and game functions as it should.  Then reloaded one mod at a time to see which ones caused the problem.  A-4E and A-29 worked just fine.  Will start on the remaining later today.  Will post the ones that I have issues with.

Thanks for your feedback.

Did you remove all skins? I have deleted every unofficial item except skins. Crashes continue. Attached are my logs. Any new conventional wisdom on solving this aside form "delete mods and verify"?

@jfnelson0127You're experiencing the second mission loading crash bug. This was introduced by DCS 2.7. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.

I removed all the mods as well, and the game crashed 2nd time I did restart the custom mission (in there was only using Su-27 and F-15).

So this story about mods causing game crash IS NOT true at all!!!

Your logic is flawed - using mods can cause crashes but they are not the only cause of crashes. I don't use mods and had crashes on the second start of a mission.

I followed the advice to rename the saved games Options.lua so DCS recreated it and then redid my DCS options (not the controller mappings) and this fixed it for me.

Comparing the old and new versions of the options.lua file there were quite a few lines for new settings that were not in the old file. At some point when I get the time I will copy the old one back, try changing a setting and then saving to see if this places all the missing values in the file.

I have the same problem as you, my file shows me a texture problem with MSAA 4X but if I put it in 2X it's the same thing, I crash too

Did you restart DCS after changing the MSAA value?

I think the game restarts by it self if you do any changes to the graphics settings. Correct me if Im wrong.

[hornblower793]

Not if the MSAA value is changed but the change does not take place until you restart

[mobile83]

my game just crashed now, here is my log (with msaa x2)

 

I did a slow repair of dcs world

 

Always the same thing, it loads... BIM!!! Crash return desckop

 

I tried to delete the options.lua file, but it's the same thing, it just crashed

 

Honestly it's getting boring, it's stopping me from playing, every two games it does this to me

 

it crashes only in LOAD, it works very well in game

I understand your frustration. Happening to me as well. I am told they are aware of the 2nd load crash bug, and that it's something on their end that is being addressed. See this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/267836-2704625-open-beta-crash-at-second-mission-load

I also took your advice, and renames the Options.lua file, so a new one has been created. And so far I did 10 mission restarts and not a single crash.

[mobile83]

the options.lua file has not changed anything for me, put to the fact that I have to re-parameterize everything, 5th crash loading

 

On the other hand, it also happens to me, whether it is the first load that crashes, about 1 time in 50, while the second load is once in 5

 

I have to keep my fingers crossed with every load

 

you speak too fast, do the tests well before. Me currently, I can do 6 7 missions without crash, sometimes I do 2 that crash, you speak too fast

Playing on Growling.. and the server keeps crashing.... this update has some issues for sure

[NakedSquirrel]

Same issue with crashes for me, both in MP and SP, but the timing is fairly random.  Running the game in VR, no full screen no MSAA, no mods.

[jfnelson0127]

Howdy folks. Saw there was an update. Sadly this did nothing for me. Game still crashes to desktop on second load. Hope we are making headway on a fix. See attached log.

 

No mods. No graphics card overclock.

 

Thanks,
JN

I will post this here, not sure if this is the correct thread but....

Since the first 2.7 OB update i had no troubles with missions not loading (first, second, third...time) or DCS crashing for some unknown reason(exception ofcourse the known reasons for CTD...F10 marker F-14/Viggen). But i tried the F-14 and Viggen the last days more often and with the Viggen(once) and the F-14B(4 or 5 times now) DCS stopped working at mission load(first or second time loading the a mission).

I never had such a problem with the F-16/18, JF-17, Mirage2k, Mi-8 or KA-50, they are working like a charm for me. I posted some dcs.log files in the HB 2.7 feedback thread but now i will post them here too, maybe it helps.... or not.

Last crash(dcs3) was me, placing the Stennis and a F-14B(start from carrier runway) on caucasus, hit start from the ME and DCS stopped working. After restarting DCS i did the same thing and the mission loaded.

 

Btw, after the first 2.7OB update i deleted fxo/metashader2 folders and run a repair for file check(everything was ok).

Also crashes on my side after ~10mins.
