Hi to all!!!

 

I didn't play DCS in a long time, but I always made sure to keep it up to date.

Since I wanted to fly the new map and wanted to give myself a new fresh air, I did resume flying.

However, at the first attempt, I got a nasty CTD. I didn't had the mind to let the system creating a log....

I tried again by two times, and it happened exactly the same way (shortly after taking off).

 

I tried to "clean" the installation with the inner tool, and removed all the mods (God knows I had a few), but the problem was still happening.

 

As I have a little issue with others games (Cyberpunk and Flight Sim), I did a test to force the amount of FPS at 30 in the nvidia control panel (since I did it, those two games are running like a charm).

As I didn't fly again the Marianas, but the Caucasus, so far, I could get  two nice sessions without CTD...

Even though my rig is far to be the best, It's a quite decent one...DCS was working nice and smooth until the last update.

 

I attached the logs of the failed sessions, hoping you guys can point me toward something...

 

PS : one log file seems to be too big......

 

Thanks by advance!!

Hi, you're having DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED crashes.

 

DCS usually have these when:

  • CPU or GPU or RAM is overclocked or undervolted
  • CPU is clogged with dust
  • PSU is too weak or dying

Recently, a user said Corsair iCue software was the cause of his DXGI... issues.

Hi Flappie and thanks for your feedback.

I am not using that software, so things are quite clear here.

 

And actually, I think I've got the culprit...

Indeed my PSU have been screwing around lately....making a lot of my games either CTD or even BSOD...

Besides, the beast got installed in....2014!! So yeah, I think it is time to say good bye.

 

Thank you very much for helping me out!! 

PS : that can't be an overclock issue as Asobo's Flight sim absolutely HATES overclocking...

Dusting could be a point, only if I didn't clean my rig less that a month ago!!!

Here I am back again,.

I changed my PSU for a quite good one (Antec 650)

 

Yet, the crashes are still happening!! I can't believe it's from the PSU as it is a brand new one, and it is supposed having enough power...

I did read somewhere that it may be a faulty RAM stick....does it is familiar to someone?

Anyway, two attempt just now, two failures (feels like a finger somewhere...)

Please catch the log files...

Alright, I improved the research and I found something that SEEMS to be working.

I just played couple of minutes on the Marianas, and no crash happened.

While using MSI afterburner, I limited the amount of power to 90%.

Doesn't change anything in the GPU management (as GPU usage isn't going that high), but so far, it seems to be working.

Hi people, I got a solution that fixed everything.
After some updates, DCS (as well as all mt others games) were crashing after a while with always the same reason : that damn gpu disconnection.

Why would I remove the graphic card when playing, seriously??!!

 

So after a few search, I found that solution. Hope it helps those in need like me 

 

1) Go To Windows Search

2) Search Regedit

3) Right click and select run as administrator

4) Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

5) Open SYSTEM

6) Open CurrentControlSet

7) Open Control

8 ) Click GraphicsDrivers

9) Right Click And Select New In Windows Registry

10) Select DWORD (32-bit) Value

11) Type TdrLevel (Write it exactly T and L should be capital)

12) Double click on TdrLevel

13) Make sure value data is 0

14) Now restart your pc Done! problem solved dxgi error device removed FIXED

 

Despite what it looks, I swear it worked for me so far.

No more CTDs

@Flappie, here is what you were looking for as for information 😉

Yes, sorry!!!!
It's pretty much having nothing to do with DCS....
But I noticed some people have my kind of budget (gather parts here and there without putting huge amount of money in a rig) have similar problems....
So I thought a few in the community may appreciate!!

facing same issue as well ED help/support guys were recommending to do too many different things ( like reinstalling drivers etc)

i did restock whole pc, removed oc on RAM/ CPU
 

once stop getting this error in SP/MP then one can start adding any OC if they want. 

 

remove XMP on RAM as that is main cause.
