Help with crash.

[ianparcher]

Just fired up DCS after a while of it not being installed (few months)no issues before. Reinstalled it and after the game is running for a bit its crashing. I've attached the crash log... thanks everyone.

@ianparcher - remove any overclock. get latest gfx drivers installed. set a static swap file. your crash is "DX11BACKEND: failed to create structed buffer. Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" and "DX11BACKEND: CreateShaderResourceView FAILED. Reason: E_INVALIDARG"

Could be same problem from this thread:

Thanks everyone for the suggestions… Hopefully the only crashing in DCS will be my own doing!

Sadly i have the same problem again in VR with DCS. The game freezes or crashes.

CPU: 11600K

RAM: 32GB

GPU: RTX 2080Ti

GPU Driver: 472.12

VR: Valve Index

Steam VR: 1.19.7

 

Next step I will do is to DDU the GPU Driver and reinstall the same Version.

Still the same even after reinstalling the Driver.

Steam VR: 1.20.3 [BETA]

 

DCS still crashes but it runs a little longer before doing so.

Have you tried opting out of the Steam VR beta?

Yes I did. I normally only play on Steam VR Stable. I upgraded to the latest Beta Version to see if there are any improvements in DCS.
There are some but DCS is still very unstable. I had no... less problems before the last couple hot-fixes and the last big update.

Here's the important part of your last crash log:

The "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" is frequently seen in this part of the forum. Causes may be:

• RAM / GPU overclocking or undervolting (often)
• Weak / tired PSU (sometimes)
• CPU clogged with dust (happened once)
• Corsair iCue may also play a part. If you have it installed, try closing it before playing.

Recently, a user who was having these crashes solved it by renaming his "Saved Games/DCS.../Mods" folder. It seems the crashes were caused by one of his mods. You should give it a go if you have any mod installed.

Thanks for the tips. But sadly its nothing of the above.

I just flew a Mission with lots of Air and Ground Units without any Crashes or FPS drops. We flew the Mission without any Mi-24 Hind in it.

With a sample sice of one.  I would say the crash is somehow related to the Mi-24.

Tomorrow I will test a few more Missions and fly more different Aircraft to make sure it is a Problem with the Hind.

And just for comparison the Log File of the Mission without Crashes.

After more testing all Fixed Wing run stable and the Helos (Ka-50, Mi-24) Crash my Game.

 

Helos are more intensive on the System do to the closer proximity to the Ground. My guess is DCS overloads the VR compositor or GPU Driver

I will wait for the next update and see if there are any changes. Everything else runs stable on my Hardware. Most likely it is some Software nightmare not even necessary DCS. Prime candidate GPU Driver or the usual Windows f*up.
