DCS crashing

[AndrewCygan]

Hello, 

 

I'm new to the game and community. I just started playing DCS and learning so far how to fly, however, game is crashing when using both training planes available on the game. It doesn't display any error just shuts game and returned to Windows. I have updated my drivers to the latest as recommended, and game still does it. Any help will be highly appreciated.

On the path /Saved Games/DCS/Logs/ there is a file called dcs.log .. please attach it to your post, to gather more clues about your issue.

dcs.logHello,

 

Apologies for late reply. Please see attached.

Looking at the log file the crash was in nvwgf2umx.dll which normally implies an issue with the nVidia graphics card drivers. Do you overclock your card?

 

How far through the load of the planes does it get before crashing? From the log it looks to be just as you go into the cockpit at the start of a mission

 

Have you tried running a DCS repair to see if that does anything

• Here's the standalone version repair procedure.
• For Steam, use the Steam files integrity check.

Hello,

 

I don't overclock my graphic card. Game allows me to fly approx 20 mins before it shuts down to windows. The driver that I use is the latest nVidia releases downloaded directly from their web, not some dodgy websites. Should I try to reinstall driver again? Or maybe go for older version of the driver?

Just solved my issue of not just DCS but MSFS and even windows menus just loading and then disapearing.

I have ASUS GPU Tweak 2 "1080ti w/10 wih 32 gigs ssd that automtically loads on boot. I turned it off, disabled all "auto" features and rebooted. Everything including DCS loads fine.

Odd the last flight went great "last night" and after buying and installing the Hind, this issue began.... Makes no sense and might just be me but there ya go..

Interesting. Can you please make a screenshot of what you had to disable to fix your issue?

Hello,

 

Again after like 30 mins of fun game exit to windows. I was about to buy some modules and learn them but in this case I don't know what else to do at this point. I think I may be looking to try different sim. I repaired DCS, downloaded latest version of the game and latest version of drivers, and still the same issue. Anyone have different ideas what to do?

Your case makes me think about this one.

 

Please go to your Windows pagefile settings (howto).

• If "Automatically..." box is unticked, tick it and apply, then test DCS again.
• If "Automatically..." box is already ticked, untick it and apply these settings:  initial size = 16384,  max size = 32768, then test DCS again.
