jetmanjeff Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I can try and load DCS, have nothing else running, and it won't get past the initial screen with the version number on it. I've turned off my antivirus & VPN. Everything version wise is up to date. The only thing that has changed in the last few months is that I added 2 new sticks of ram. Every other game I have runs fine, so I don't see how that could be the issue. Also, where do I find the log file that everyone keeps talking about?

viperaf23 Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I have the same thing happening. Screen goes black after the initial screen and then pops back to my desktop. Acts like a closed window, except the sound is playing and when I click to open the window it flashes black and then pops back to my desktop. dcs.log dcs.20221115-231733.crash Edited November 15, 2022 by viperaf23

jetmanjeff Posted December 8, 2022 Author Posted December 8, 2022 Alright. Now this is bugging me!

jetmanjeff Posted December 10, 2022 Author Posted December 10, 2022 I have! it'll run eventually, but it'll take 10 minutes from icon selection to first page. The only thing I can think of thats changed is that I have 2 different sets of memory on the PC. 4 sticks of 8GB (32 total) But everything else runs fine, no crashes or anything. DCS just takes a long time to load. And some times it loads right up! I don't know! AMD Ryzen 7 5800X / 32 GB RAM / Nvidia 1070Ti / windows 10

jetmanjeff Posted December 16, 2022 Author Posted December 16, 2022 Ok. I'm officially out of ideas. I deleted everything and did a fresh install. Just installed maps and the f-18, huey and Gazelle. And its STILL HANGING UP and taking forever to load. My log time starts at 1:15:58 and ends at 1:25:47. There are a few multi minute gaps in the log. Looks like most of them have to do with sound files. System is: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor , 32gb ram (4 sticks) and a AMD Radeon 6700XT. Game is on a M2 SSD drive. I've turned off surfshark and everything else I can think of. Every other game I have runs great and loads very quickly. dcs 12-15-22.txt AMD Ryzen 7 5800X / 32 GB RAM / Nvidia 1070Ti / windows 10

draconus Posted December 16, 2022 Posted December 16, 2022 @jetmanjeff I'd also try and set the fixed sized windows page file to 32GB, plus exclude saved games\dcs and main dcs installation folders from AV scanning.
