HELP: Game is crashing regularly

[lukeni]

Hey Guys

I am desperatly in need of your help.

 

Problem: Game freezes regularly. Ingame sounds are still played but game crashed. I can reproduce it when looking to the east into the risiing sun (after a some minutes in the game) when playing on the Persian Gulf map although it seems not map related (happens in caucasus as well).

 

Specs: Windows 10, i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz, 32.0 GB RAM, GTX 1080; Drivers up 2 date

 

I already tried:

Repaired DCS

Reinstalled Drivers

Deleted the savegame Folder

Deleted all the unofficial mods

Set the correct pagefile size

Run Memory tests

 

Im starting to run out of ideas guys. I really need your help.

 

thx

Is looks like a GPU driver issue, but sometimes it's something else. Here is some food for thought:

managed to get it working. It is either putting the GPU in another PCIE slot or disabling the XMP profile for the RAM (lost about 5-10 fps)

I guess losing 5-10 FPS is better than 0 FPS. XMP memory setting has been a culprit before.
