MoleUK Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Any suggestions for fixes? Started happening here since I did a cleanup and repair of DCS. Didn't touch anything else, other than DCS graphics settings. Tried a windows and nvidia update since then, but no luck. It's a hard crash too, locks up the PC completely.

Unfortunately i'm not getting anything relevant showing in the log, it's a very hard lock. Can't even bring up task manager etc when it occurs. Even resulted in disk errors on reboot twice now, not happening in any other program. Might switch to track-IR and see if it stops. Edited November 15, 2022 by MoleUK

I believe that is Insider build. there could be something here too. https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/05/11/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22621/ there was a quite lengthy DCS thread about someone trying to overcome issues running Insider. just an idea. Thanks, it's a stable build AFAIK since I'm not on the Beta program. That article is from May, so it would be a consolidated build by now in any case, and the same as anybody that has Windows up to date. 2 hours ago, Flappie said: Please create a new thread (it's free of charge) and attach the most recent ZIP file form your "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs" folder. Hi. About what I sent from the Event Viewer, any clues? Thanks.

No, there's nothing special in the Event Viewer log, unfortunately. I see your motherboard has an internal GPU (ntel UHD Graphics 770). I'm thinking that maybe DCS uses the wrong GPU, which could lead to a crash. Can you try one of these steps? The soft way (as in "software"): assign your 3080 to DCS through Windows settings ( https://www.digitalcitizen.life/set-default-gpu-windows-11/ ). The hard way (as... you guessed): enter your BIOS and disable your internal GPU. ---

Solution Fulgrim Posted November 27, 2022 Author Solution Posted November 27, 2022 Hi, I wanted to give an update: I reinstalled DCS and it was solved. I'm using the same mods, same SavedGames folder, same OC, etc. than before; it was just a matter of uninstalling DCS and reinstalling it. Maybe something got botched when I updated to 2.8? I still haven't gotten back my VR performance from 2.7, but that is for another thread. Thanks everybody for your help.
Flappie Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 Many thanks for your feedback, @Fulgrim. 1 ---
