Game crash upon startup.

[RooterZooter]

Since December of 2021, I have been attempting to play DCS with no success. Prior to that, I hadn't played in some months, but since wanting to get back into it the game has consistently crashed each time I try to load it, always before getting through most of the loading. I've reinstalled the game multiple times, wiped my configs, verified game files, and none of these have worked. 

 

I have attached multiple log files from today to just after Christmas, so hopefully that should help.

Your PC has only 16 GB of RAM, please try to make the following adjustment on your DCS options -> System:

Reduce the "Preload Radius" parameter, from the current value of 150000 down to 30000 or so. This should reduce the RAM footprint of the Sim, and hopefully it will not crash.

You most recent crash log shows an issue with Windows audio ("RegisterAudioInpoutCallback"). The crash happens while Voice Chat is being loaded.

The crahsing DLL bbelongs to Windows (KERNELBASE.dll). You should check your audio drivers or hardware.
