Iceviper Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) My game is crashing constantly only since the last update. I've got no unofficial mods at all and have run full repairs. Windows is fully up to date and my gfx card driver is on the latest stable version. My log file is full of warnings about cloud shaders. Does anyone have any advice regarding shaders. I've already tried deleting the FX folder and the metashaders folder from the saved games path. Anyone have any ideas? It was fine until the last update. Now I cant stay in a single play or multiplayer for more than ten minutes. dcs.log dcs.log-20210530-210338.zip Edited May 30, 2021 by Iceviper added last crash log.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Hi. Your issue is not about shaders (everybody's got these shader errors in 2.7 logs, it's just WIP), it's about mouse and cockpit (see below). I've never seen this issue before. What action are you doing with your mouse when crashes happen? 2021-05-30 21:03:36.501 INFO COCKPITBASE: airbaseType - "airdrome", direction - x - 14867.437500, z - 13287.715820, pressure - 94369.109131, runway - 3, runway_side - 2, wind - x - 3.023035, z - 1.662995 2021-05-30 21:03:37.693 INFO EDCORE: try to write dump information 2021-05-30 21:03:37.706 INFO EDCORE: # -------------- 20210530-210338 -------------- 2021-05-30 21:03:37.707 INFO EDCORE: DCS/2.7.1.6709 (x86_64; Windows NT 10.0.19042) 2021-05-30 21:03:37.707 INFO EDCORE: D:\Program Files\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\CockpitBase.dll 2021-05-30 21:03:37.708 INFO EDCORE: # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 9AE75B08 00:00000000 2021-05-30 21:03:37.709 INFO EDCORE: SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath: '.', symOptions: 532, UserName: 'geoff' 2021-05-30 21:03:37.709 INFO EDCORE: OS-Version: 10.0.19042 () 0x100-0x1 2021-05-30 21:03:37.750 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000185B08 (CockpitBase): cockpit::opacity_material::operator= + 0xF08 2021-05-30 21:03:37.751 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000018B7E2 (CockpitBase): cockpit::ccMouseHandler::cursorIsVisible + 0x622 2021-05-30 21:03:37.752 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000062C27B (DCS): SW + 0x33B77B 2021-05-30 21:03:37.753 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000166CCF (Visualizer): smCamera_Implement::getClipRegion + 0x503F 2021-05-30 21:03:37.753 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000016FAA3 (Visualizer): smSceneManager::CreateSceneManager + 0x7A03 2021-05-30 21:03:37.754 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000007EA590 (DCS): SW + 0x4F9A90 2021-05-30 21:03:37.754 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000008000BB (DCS): SW + 0x50F5BB 2021-05-30 21:03:37.755 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000007D0F44 (DCS): SW + 0x4E0444 2021-05-30 21:03:37.755 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000007D131D (DCS): SW + 0x4E081D 2021-05-30 21:03:37.756 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000001C4BF17 (DCS): AmdPowerXpressRequestHighPerformance + 0xE5CF13 2021-05-30 21:03:37.758 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000A07E9E (DCS): SW + 0x71739E 2021-05-30 21:03:37.760 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000017034 (KERNEL32): BaseThreadInitThunk + 0x14 2021-05-30 21:03:37.761 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000052651 (ntdll): RtlUserThreadStart + 0x21 2021-05-30 21:03:37.936 INFO EDCORE: Minidump created.

Iceviper Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 I'm not actually touching the mouse at all when it crashes. I'm surprised to hear about the clouds. My mate has just checked his and said there was nothing about clouds in his log. I've just changed the mission to turn clouds off altogether and managed to fly without a crash. However the mission I've just flown was a night mission and the only time I used the mouse was with the cockpit light when cold starting the F18, then didn't use it after that. The game was crashing when I was Taxiing. I also had multiple crashes before this mission. I'm building a Gazelle mission for a campaign idea I have and it crashed every 10 minutes. It's only been happening since the most recent update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceviper Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just a follow up. I seem to have this sorted now and have managed to fly tonight with no crashes. I did some googling because of what you said (Flappie) about the mouse error. I found something that advised looking in event viewer for error id 1000 Task 100 relating to atkexComSvc.exe (https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/atkexcomsvc.html) Its something to do with Asus utilities and interestingly the article said that Quote "The AtkexComsvc is designed to run automatically when the system boots. It is able to record keyboard and mouse input. For these reasons, it scours the Internet and may end up using much computer resources." The only ASUS utility I know of on my computer was GPU Tweak 2 which I was using. I got rid of it. I also went into services and set Asus Com Service and Asus Cert service to manual start only. So far so good I have had no crashes tonight. I will probably add back mods I like and see how I go. I'm hoping this is the fix I needed. Thanks @Flappie for the help and for getting me to look at things relating to mouse input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
