Czechnology Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Having an issue with Syria ever since the expansion update. I can open it, I can look at it, I just can't load into a module in it. In multiplayer I can join as a spectator, in singleplayer I've been able to make missions that don't require I personally fly, but when trying to load into a module the game waits 2-5 seconds before freezing, then shortly after crashing straight to desktop. No crash message, no black screen, just closes and goes to desktop. Only on Syria as best I can tell. dcs.log dcs.20220328-071009.crash dcs.20220328-071009.dmp Edited March 28, 2022 by Czechnology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechnology Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 --- After combing the log and thinking "Hm tacview is the last thing mentioned" I disabled tacview. It's stopped crashing, but now I have to wonder why tacview is crashing my game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would increase your "Windows Pagefile" to 32GB, so you have 32GB real ram + 32GB virtual ram.(I consider this minimum personally). Nvidia GPU drivers referenced in the crash log, you might have to uninstall them, download and run DDU cleaner and reload fresh drivers. Re-run DCS to see if it fixed crashing with Syria map base missions.

Disabling tacview allowed me to spawn in and fly in the old areas of the map, updating drivers allowed me to fly in the new part of the map. Crashes have ceased, will be trying to hit that suggestion of a 32 gig page file but the C drive is incredibly cramped as it stands already. Appreciate the advice and help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomaKrelian Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hi guys. I had this problem too and it turns out that my pagefile was the problem. I don't think you need 32 gb, but I do think that it needs to be managed by the system and not manually set. I recently made it smaller so that I could save on some hard drive space, but then that's what caused my problem. At the moment, my system is only using a pagefile of 4gb, but the important thing is that it is managed by the system and there is some free space in the drive. Seems this is the price we have to pay if we want to play DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
