A-10A Keeps crashing the game

[Da Madcat]

I bought FC3 last year and initially all seemed well. However, over the past month or so, when ever I try to use the A-10A the game crashes (most of the time) right at the start of a mission.

I thought that perhaps there might have been a mod conflict so I removed all mods but the A-10A still crashes the game.
I have filed numerous crash reports but (obviously) there has been no fix!
So, at the moment, a product that I paid for is unusable. I hope this can be rectified soon!

Hi

 

please remove all unofficial mods if any and run a cleanup and repair or verify if steam.

 

also ensure all drivers and windows is up to date. 

 

If you still get a crash please attach your dcs log from your saved games dcs log folder it should have some clues. 

 

thanks

Still crashing upon mission start.
Here's the log:

You were asked to remove the mods. These you can find here:

C:\Users\geeol\Saved Games\DCS\Mods/aircraft/

C:\Users\geeol\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts/DCS_Volanta.lua

 

When done, please try again.

I removed the Mod & the lua (as per above), ran DCS and it still crashed (see new log)
I also clicked on the link you provided to the faq and ran into a problem (related or not I have no idea)
In the faq it states that I locate the bin folder within DCS world which I did (I feel that at this point I should point out that I am using the Steam version of DCS....just in case that is a factor....apologies if I should have mentioned this before)
I ran the Powershell as instructed, typed in the cmd .\DCS_updater.exe cleanup and I got this error:

You are using steam version, there is no DCS_updater.exe

Thanks for the clarification on that!

Sorry, should've known it from log.

If it still crashes try to increase the Windows pagefile (now is 10GB, try 20GB).

Also try to rename C:\Users\geeol\Saved Games\DCS to DCS.bak. This will create clean profile - try if it works. If not, you can move again all DCS.bak content to DCS.

I don't know what you did with the latest update but it seems to have fixed the problem!
