solved DCS Crash when starting any mission with Marianas

[Maltschik]

Hello,

since the last two updates the game freezes and crashes, when I try to start ANY mission on the Mariana Islands with ANY plane I own (A-10A, F-15C, FW-190 D). Before these updates it worked fine.

I have all maps and any other map loads. But with Marianas the loading-screen freezes at the end with „Mission Load: Done“.

I attached a crash-report.

Do you have an advice to solve the problem?

Thank you!

Strange it looks like it has problems loading some files then the display driver crashes, I have tried to reproduce but no issues on my machine. 

Check windows is up to date, run a slow repair on DCS, and check your display driver is up to date, maybe even reinstall it see if it helps. 

Also check antivirus is not creating a problem for DCS.

@Maltschik even though you have 64 GB of RAM, perhaps you have a memory issue. also it would not hurt setting static page file. marianas is best graphics and probably uses the most resources.

 

have a look at the FAQ here.

Thank you both for the quick response. I run Win10 on an iMacPro (but this was never a problem).

So question 1: do I have to update the graphic-driver via „normal“ Windows-Software or via the Mac Bootcamp-Software?

Question 2 @silverdevil: what does this mean: „…setting static page file“? Is this something within the preferences? Please give me a short hint.

[Maltschik]

So, finally solved the problem… The Graphic-Card just needed the last Update.

And now the Mariana Islands are waiting to get explored :-)))

Thanks for your feedback.

This is done on the Windows system. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-manage-virtual-memory-pagefile-windows-10,36929.html
