CTD in multiplayer when cycling external views between different aircraft.

[norman99]

As stated above. Cycling through aircraft with the F2 key, causes DCS to freeze up. Install cleaned and repaired, with all mods removed except TacView, SRS & VAICOM. Log file included below.

Hi, 

it looks like a hard crash, no real clues there. 

It maybe worth trying to increase your page file. 

Do you overclock your CPU, GPU or RAM? 

[norman99]

No overclock. I haven't touched my page file yet, but I'll see if that helps.

Cheers.

Same here, if it's of any consolation I have a fresh Win 11 and DCS install, no mods, M2 SSD, 64GB DDR4, 12600K, 3080ti... Definitely not a hawrdare issue for me. 

[norman99]

Ok, I've changed my page file as suggested, but it has made the problem significantly worse. Now, DCS crashes within minutes of joining a MP server. Also no longer just limited to cycling views, even just zooming on the F10 map can trigger a crash. My last log file is below.

You're having some serious storage drive errors:

1. We can see a "SCSI" / "STORAGE" device disconnecting seconds before the crash is detected.
2. 8 seconds later, the sim cannot load an AH-64D texture, which triggers the crash (probably caused by the absence of the drive).
3. The minidump cannot be written to drive (I see a lot of crash logs every week, yet I think I've never seen that error before).

You should check the drive DCS is installed on. And make backups of any precious files stored on that drive. This might be caused by a faulty SATA cable, or a faulty drive.

Wow, thanks for the diagnosis. I'm actually on a laptop, with DCS on a relatively new Samsung 970 Evo+, so hopefully that's not faulty. Strangely, I've never experienced any symptoms of drive failure or connection problems, but regardless, I'll have a deeper look and see if I can find anything.

Again, thanks for the help.

Look into the Windows Event Viewer at the time of the crash (especially in the Apps and System logs). See if you can find some clue.
