84-Simba Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Howdie ! Since the last update I get a lot of game crashes. It freezes and you can no longer access the other apps nor windows. I have do a restart for DCS to close. Everything is up to date, no mods and slow repair already done. Can anyone put some light on this ? dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84-Simba Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Retried. It crashed at probably exactly the very same time, about 30nm to an airbase I was going to put JDAMs on, high speed, 70ft above the water. My machine has 32gb of RAM, a 6800xt and a 5600x CPU. MSAA is at 4x but SSAA is off. Everything was working well and fluid until the last update. I see a lot of errors in the log but I've not seen anything regarding RAM. The problem is when it hangs I cannot visualize the other apps so no way to check my CPU temps or RAM usage. The only I can see is the junction temp of the GPU and it's way lower than 110C. I can tell the CPU and GPU critical temps are not reached because fans are programmed to go full blow 20 degres before those limits and even with the headset, you can hear it (I did the test) There a lot of different errors in the log. Is that suppose to be normal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84-Simba Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 It's a little app that act as datacard for the Viper but I wasn't using it since I fly the Hornet in Liberation. (Scenic Route, 30nm to Kysh - yes I'm THAT brave ) The app is not even running. It never caused me any trouble in the Viper and everything was working fine until now. I'm quite far into the campaign so there are way less units than in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84-Simba Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 It may be a coïncidence but it appears the game crashes roughly when I come into a Hawk radar range. I had several other crashes when I was in F6 view following a JSOW that was targeted at a Hawk. It may be something with Skynet for some reason, even if I did not red anything online about a potential problem. I'll try to deactivate Skynet and see if I still have this problem. Will report.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted April 19, 2022 ED Team Share Posted April 19, 2022 If you are able to recreate in a short time you may find a track replay in the crash zip folder when it happens. If you can attach it we will see if we can replicate But please ensure you have removed any unofficial mods or edits if you have them Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

84-Simba Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Unlikely because the actual Hawk radar is more than 200nm away from the boat. If I spawn directly in the zone it may change Skynet behaviour so not ideal for bug tracking and a very long track for you guys. I will retry without Skynet. I hope it is this because flying 70ft AGL all the way just to have a crash is kind of frustrating. And I never experienced any crash before trying Liberation. (on a side note, ED should inspire from Libertation because it really revived the SP experience and content) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84-Simba Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Retried, another crash ... Here's the log. dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84-Simba Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) And again without the DTC Script, fxo and metashader folders cleared and a slow repair. Could it be my pagefiles or the shadder and api errors at the beginning ? Note that on this one I never entered a plane nor displayed anything, I stayed in the F-10 view with Combine Arms. dcs.log Edited April 24, 2022 by 84-Simba typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 There is no sign of lack of memory in your logs. The game just freezes. It could be caused by a slow/faulty drive, an external app or a mod. Ensure your DCS main folder is added as an exception in your antivirus software. Rename you Saved Games/DCS.../Scripts/Export.lua script so the game cannot find it. Use Windows Resource Manager while playing and look at the Disk tab. Select dcs.exe and look for high Response times (>300 Ms). If you find any, see which drive it is related to. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84-Simba Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Tried all of that, monitored my hardware while playing. Lately I did not have any crashes. I'm thinking about a certain numbers of units around the carrier, or some coming while some are going. I haven't been able to put the finger on something but there are quite a lot of errors in the log. Even after a complete fresh reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
