Random Crash while playing (Every crash file included)

[Aigle2]

Hi,
Don't know why it's happening.
Here are the files.

Any idea would be great, seems to happen randomly.

PC Specs : 
Ryzen 7 3700X
SSD (Windows 10 + DCS)
64 Go RAM CL16 3000 Mhz
RTX 3080
AMD motherboard

I'm using ReShade, Opentrack with AItrack (my trackIR just died, so facetrack is temporary solution). Also mods which were not used in this mission.

New crash, different this time. No crash reporter, just "DCS ceased to function", I had to close the app. Last log files lines were :

Hi, your first crash log looks like a RAM issue to me. You should run MemTest86 for at least half an hour, and check for errors.

Test done (First pass only,  it took 2 hours already!) and 0 error.

Ok, your RAM is fine then.

In your dxdiag log, I see quite a lot of BSODs caused by "opentrack-tracker-wii.dll". Are they from a distant past, or is it something that keeps happening?

It just occurred to me that your Windows 10 is not up-to-date. Please update (to version 21H2) and see if your crashes keep happening.

Will update W10.

No idea about opentrack. I didn't even know it was/is causing issues. How to know if a BSOD is caused by it ? usually BSOD error messages are a bit generic...

[Aigle2]

Windows updated
Drivers up to date
Opentrack up to date

Still random crashes during fast missions like 1 vs 1 dogfight, maybe 1 game out of 5.

Sometimes crash with DCS crash reporter
Sometimes return to desktop
Sometimes giant freeze and I have to kill it with task manager

Ok. Try these, one by one:

1. Disable Shader caching in the NVIDIA control panel.
2. Uninstall your GPU driver using DDU, reboot, then reinstall your GPU driver.
3. Disable XMP profile in BIOS.

Did the three, seems stable for now. I will update if I find something. Thanks !

[Flappie]

Great. If it stays stable, try re-enabling XMP (it boosts RAM speed).
