Help needed! DCS World 2.7 frequently crashes

[Ghostrider36]

Hi everyone.

After a lengthy hiatus flying the hog, I have updated to latest version of DSC World 2.7 and purchased the A-10C ii Tank killer module as well as the Persian gulf terrain. I thought I'd also add the Persian freedom campaign for good measure too.

I have however experienced nothing but frequent crashes at random times whilst attempting to fly either the training missions or the Persian freedom campaign. It happens generally after the jet is configured and either during taxi or even after take off in the Campaign.

I had recently upgraded my Ram to 32gig, as well as added a 500gig NVME M.2 drive and moved my entire DCS world installation into the drive.

After spending many countless hours trawling this forum for possible solutions to fix it, I have decided to upload my crash files in the hope some of you here may make some sense of it.

Please find attached Crash files.

Appreciate any help with this.

Kind regards,

Is your RAM, CPU or GPU overclocked? If so, are you able to reproduce these crashes when you remove OC?

Have you already tried to uninstall then reinstall your GPU driver?

Hi Flappie,

Thank you for your reply.

No my RAM, CPU, GPU isn't overclocked.

Ill try uninstalling/reinstalling the GPU driver and report back with my findings.

I have renamed my saved games folder as backup and will restart DCS so it creates a new saved games folder.

Thanks again!

Hi Flappie,

I uninstalled and ran a clean of the GPU driver using ddu and then reinstalled the latest NVidia gpu driver.

I ran the campaign again and it crashed during cockpit startup procedures.

Please find new crash logs.

Thought i was onto a winner with the driver unistall/reinstall.

Appreciate your help.

Ok, I see it's still the same thing. Please take advice from this page: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/startup/#3312253

 apparently this is a problem in many games. It has plagued DCS for several versions now.

Has to do with Windows becoming impatient with lengthy calculations. Fix has worked for some
