Foxtrot_34 Posted September 23, 2022 Posted September 23, 2022 Started having a problem with crashing recently when trying to load into a mp server in VR. Whenever DCS crashes it also crashes many or all of the desktop apps. This is a recent issue as I had been playing in mp servers for weeks without any issues. This has been happening both on Open Beta 2.7.18.30348 and Open Beta 2.7.17.29493. I have increased my page file size, tried cleaning up and repairing, and even reinstalling DCS but to no success. I have a Reverb G2, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ram, RTX 2060 Any help would be appreciated! dcs.logdcs.20220922-190020.crash

Foxtrot_34 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Posted September 23, 2022 No, I just reinstalled DCS yesterday trying to fix the issue. I had the UH-60 mod but haven't reinstalled it.

Foxtrot_34 Posted September 23, 2022 Author Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) I had a page file that was at 16384 when it was crashing. I upped it to 32768 min/max and it did not crash but it was unplayably lagy (1-10 FPS). Do I just need to buy some more ram? EDIT: I did some more testing and got my frames back to what they were before DCS was crashing. I should get more RAM anyway? Edited September 24, 2022 by Foxtrot_34

Foxtrot_34 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Posted September 24, 2022 When running through the BASIC DRIVE INFO in cmd it kept giving me access denied messages and when I ran it as an admin it gave me "Invalid GET expression". I tried it in PowerShell as well and got the same result. As for the mem test, I dont have a usb stick so I'll get one tomorrow and post with the results of that.

Foxtrot_34 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Posted September 24, 2022 Anything else I could try? I also had another crash but not when loading in. This was on a single player mission in the SU-27 on Syria. dcs.20220924-225059.crashdcs.log
silverdevil Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) @Foxtrot_34 now i am seeing a load of IC fail 2022-09-24 22:50:38.157 ERROR EDCORE: Not enough memory to decmpress: SA342_Camou_ADT_7_damage_main_map.dds 2022-09-24 22:50:38.160 WARNING SECURITYCONTROL: IC fail: textures/sa342_camou_adt_7_damage_main_map @ coremods/aircraft/sa342/textures/sa342.zip this may not be all of your problems though it needs to be fixed. try a LONG repair. null EDIT. I have another idea too. repair Microsoft Visual C++ in Windows control panel. look for date installed that matches date installed for DCS. this page has other tips. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/startup/ Edited September 25, 2022 by silverdevil AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

Foxtrot_34 Posted September 27, 2022 Author Posted September 27, 2022 I repaired DCS and my Visual C++ is good. I haven't crashed since. 1 1
