Hello! 

 

I have avoided reporting my issue because I wanted to address every possible cause first. I was getting crash-to-desktop here and there, or a the occasional DCS crash, and I was beginning to suspect my GPU was to blame. It was an old MSI GPU so I replaced it with an RTX 2080ti. The problem persisted, so I wiped the memory and restored from a back up. Same issue.

 

Long story short, I have literally replaced and upgraded RAM, motherboard, processor, storage, GPU, power supply, & case(lol).  I have replaced literally EVERYTHING with the exception of the CPU AIO and WIFI card. I have also fully wiped the entire memory. My current stats are below:

 

Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz

32GB of Ram

RTX 2080ti GPU

2TB available storage

 

DCS Beta 2.7.3.8494 (Steam version crashes identically as well)

No Mods

Repairs have no effect

All drivers up to date.

 

After all that, I still get 8-10 minutes into any mission, single or multiplayer before I get a DCS crash. It is very consistent.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by "wiping the entire memory"? Do you mean you formated your drives?

 

You're having the DXGi_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED crashes:

The causes of this error often are hardware-wise. However, I see you're having an unusual error right before the crash, about an unzipping failure.

 

Please try this:

  1. Go to "\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Syria\clipmaps\splatmap\4m",
  2. Delete "4mxAE-2.tif.clipmap",
  3. Go to "\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Syria\clipmaps\colortexture\4m",
  4. Delete "4mxAE-2.tif.clipmap",
  5. Run a DCS repair and choose the "slow" option.

I performed your operation and re-ran the exact same mission as before and the results were the same. Around 8 minutes in, crash.

 

"What do you mean by "wiping the entire memory"? Do you mean you formated your drives?"  - Yes, I have completely re-formatted my drives. They are brand new as well.

 

"The causes of this error often are hardware-wise."It's weird to have the same result in 2 different GPUs of 2 different brands. I'm not the best at this, but I did a lot of research. I found the fixes for the TdrDelay & TdrDdiDelay in the registry, but that only causes the entire system to crash and didn't fix the issue. I reverted to an older GPU driver and that had no change in results as well. 

 

I uploaded the newest crash log from the most recent test. No changes were made other than your suggestion of the deletions and running the repair.

 

Thank you!!!

You're welcome. You seem to have another file access issue:

I have three ideas right now:

  • An antivirus software. Some of them are known to cause trouble to DCS. Please add this path as an exception to your antivirus software: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld".
  • A faulty SATA cable. If you have SATA drives, ensure their cables are well seated and working well (you can use test software to find out). Examples : faulty cable, ill-seated cable.
  • A faulty DCS installation. But you said you formated your drives, so let's forget about it now.
  • A faulty SATA drive. But you said they are brand new. Are all of them new?

We removed the SATA drive early on. I'm only using NVMe drives at the moment. I disabled windows defender and installed BitDefender in it's place with no effect.

 

I guess we'll start swapping hardware again. My brother has most of the components to swap with. We'll make our way down piece by piece starting with the CPU and I'll report back.

 

Thanks again!!!

At the very beginning of these issues, we thought was that the RAM was faulty. We replaced it and similar issues continued with some additional problems. Turns out that after replacing EVERYTHING (all new computer) the issues remained. The second set of RAM sticks were also faulty. All issues were resolved by replacing these again.

Thank you for your help!
