Hi pepin1234

 

I would try a slow repair on DCS, 

Make sure windows and display driver is up to date 

increase your pagefile, currently it is set to 8027 MB, as you have 16GB RAM you should set pagefile to  16282 MB

 

Let us know if it helps

Don't trust everything that you read, then. DCS has a funny way of dealing with memory. Unless you have 64 GB of RAM, DCS can crash if the given pagefile is too small. Anyway, the issue here is this one:

 

2021-06-04 05:10:33.843 ERROR   DX11BACKEND: Shader "bazar/shaders/model/self_illum_material.fx" failed to compile. Reason:

I believe all users having this crash solved it doing a slow repair, just like BIGNEWY suggested.

No I am saying if you have 16gb or less you should set your page file higher for a better experience in DCS. If you have 32GB RAM leave it system managed it will be fine.

I'm having a lot of freezes in the Multiplayer screen after update do Stable 2.7 since yesterday.

 

Screen freezes and I have to kill DCS in the task manager.

 

I've done a Steam files verification, and deleted fxo/shaders. Helped for one/two times, then the bug returns.

@=Skywarp=Please reproduce the issue then attach your dcs.log file ( C:\Users\username\Saaved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log ).

Does it happen while the MP servers list is refreshing or once you reach a server lobby?

Hi Flappie!

 

Happens while the MP servers list is refreshing.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/introduction-page-file 

 

when windows runs out of physical memory, infrequently used bits are saved in virtual memory and recalled when needed. if the system has lots of physical memory, then windows does not use virtual memory. when one sets to a static size a pagefile.sys file is created. i do not have a pagefile.sys on my system because of the over abundence of physical memory. leaving windows to manage does not create a pagefile.sys.

 

many moons ago for servers, virtual memory was set to 3 times the amount of RAM. this allowed for "dumping" physical memory during a recovery from a stop error.

If you wait long enough, does the servers list eventually come out of its coma?

 

This is what is described in this thread:

I taught the glitch was unrecoverable, as I waited for few minutes... so I killed DCS with the Task Manager.

 

This is the message displayed by the Realibility History: "Top level window is idle"

OK. Please reproduce ths issue, then attach your dcs.log file ( C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log - may appear as "dcs" ). If you don't do this, neither testers like me nor ED devs will know how this is happening to you.
