Some tests about crash on exit mission.

   As I experience those crashes since last update, I decided to make some tests.

 

First, I started with a fresh install (brand new DCS folder in saved games)

 

Flew A-10C II Instant mission Free Flight Syria

Flight was 6 mins long... put autopilot making plane flying circles for 6 minutes

On mission exit, had a crash. I figured out something was wrong in settings, aspect ratio (by default) was not matching my resolution (1980*1080). It was 1.3333333 instead of 1.7777777. Setting right aspect ratio, quit DCS and after restart I was able to fly for 6 min on same mission without any crash on exit.

 

so I made more tests...

 

Using predifined settings (bottom right corner of setting page)

 

High ----------------------------------------------> No crash on exit

High with SSAO OFF (put it manually) ------------> Crash on exit

High with SSAO ON (put back on manually) ------> Crash on exit

High (predifined setting) -------------------------> No crash on exit

 

Medium (predifined settings) --------------------> No crash on exit

Medium (SSAA *1.5 set manually) ---------------> Crash on exit

Medium (SSAA OFF set manually) ---------------> Crash on exit

Medium (predifined setting) ---------------------> No crash on exit

 

It seems DCS have some trouble with dealing with customs settings.

 

If some users experiencing same crash could try this protocol and see if they got same result....

It seems as if you found a valid solution. As per your suggestion, I changed my video settings to match the driver settings and chose one of the predifined settings one and could play normally, it did not even require a fresh install.

 

Thanks a million!

Glad to ear it helped you! @Cepheus76

 

Made some more research. This time I selected MEDIUM preset. Once done, I canged some settings on this preset; mainly CLOUDS QUALITY and ANTIALIASING.

In all cases I flew the same mission during 2:00 2:10. After changing a setting, always doing the same : Closing and Restarting DCS. Here are the results :

 

Mission : A-10C II Free Flight Caucasus

Preset : MEDIUM

Changed settings :

 

    CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA 16X -----> Crash

    CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA 8X ------> Crash

    CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA 4X ------> No Crash

    CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA 2X ------> No Crash

    CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA OFF ----> CRASH

 

    CLOUDS ULTRA - FXAA OFF ---> Crash

    CLOUDS ULTRA - FXAA 2X -----> No Crash

    CLOUDS ULTRA - FXAA 4X -----> No Crash

    CLOUDS ULTRA - FXAA 8X -----> No Crash

    CLOUDS ULTRA - FXAA 16X ----> Crash

 

    CLOUDS STANDART - FXAA OFF ----> CRASH

    CLOUDS STANDART - FXAA 2X -----> No CRASH

    CLOUDS STANDART - FXAA 4X -----> No CRASH

    CLOUDS STANDART - FXAA 8X -----> CRASH

    CLOUDS STANDART - FXAA 16X ----> CRASH

 

    CLOUDS LOW - FXAA OFF ----------> Crash

    CLOUDS LOW - FXAA 2X ------------> Crash

    CLOUDS LOW - FXAA 4X ------------> No Crash

    CLOUDS LOW - FXAA 8X ------------> Crash

    CLOUDS LOW - FXAA 16X -----------> Crash

 

If someone else could make some similar tests, it could be kind. At least to be sure I'm not the only one in this case.

So I tried doing preset graphics on high and still got a crash right after exiting the mission.

 

    Maybe give it another try with deleting fxo folder in saved games\DCS

    I did not make tests changing MSAA. but there are some other tricks as mentioned on another thread... Incresing preload radius prevent from crashing. I tested quickly yesterday and it seems to work :

 

CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA 16X - Preload radius 150000 -------------------> No crash

CLOUDS HIGH - FXAA 16X - Preload radius 150000 - Water HIGH -----> Crash

 

The way I proceed again is choosing a predifined prest in setting page in this case Medium. I click OK then shut down and restart DCS. Then change one or 2 settings > OK> restart DCS

I restart DCS everytime I change a setting.

 

Again, if anybody with a low end rig could make this kind of tests, maybe it could help.

I'm running an i7-4770K - GTX 1050Ti - 32Gb RAM -1Tb SSD.

Are the tests made with or without Full Screen option? 

 just installed windows 21H1 update (have also to install Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems), I'll check if there have any changes about crashing

If you have time, could you repeat your experiments with exactly the same settings?

I think you will get completly  defferent res from "crash/ No crash" point of view.

 

    You're right @PeevishMonkey did try 3 or 4 and no crash occured. This is pretty strange, cause I was able to recreate crashes in the same conditions. Something else must be interfering.

    Also using Windows 10 21H1

 

 

Edit :

 

    To be sure, I tried to recreate conditions. First setting preset in game setting to MEDIUM (I use that for my tests). What is acting different is that usually, when hitting a preset button, DCS restart by itself. It doesn't anymore now. And I did change nothing on computer not even a restart.

Thanks for the work.  Haven't flown DCS in a while and started troubleshooting this myself too.  For me It seems random, as in make changes crash, make changes no crash, don't make changes, crash and don't make changes, no crash!  With or without reshade also same.  I have 2 files that show up in event viewer consistently (replaced yet same).  Details:

Faulting application name: DCS.exe, version: 2.7.1.6709, time stamp: 0x60adebf9

Posting to provide info and hopefully colab a solution.  On the good side, at least it's on exit!

    When having those reports, I had no crashes. I noticed also a Registry key regarding this I think :

 

Quote

   But that was before last open beta... And I removed the key before using last release.

Thanks for replying.  Looking at this atm... you done any research on this?

The exception code 0xc0000005 indicates a memory access violation

This may be something...

*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for dx11backend.dll

*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for NGModel.dll

*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for GraphicsVista.dll

*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for webrtc_plugin.dll

*** WARNING: Unable to verify checksum for ed_sound.dll

 

And thinking about replacing ED's dx11backend with an older version I have from 2018.... sounds like bad idea but this still may be the file with issue for us.

 

Off to check these other files first tho

So I started running DCS in Windows 8 compatibility mode. Water set to Medium.

 

I haven't experience a crash so far after flying around in two different modules.

F/A-18C; A-10C; F-14B; Mirage 2000C; A-4E; F-16C; Flaming Cliffs 3

    I did not check Win  8 commpatibility since last release to be honest. So far focusing on something to find crash cause...

What is really annoying @CarbonFox is that yesterday, I was able to reproduce crashes listed in this thread on friday evening. And tonight, no way.
