Game constantly crashes while playing MP on Syria


Recommended Posts

Posted

Problem started around early January

Whenever I play Enigma's Cold War on Syria the game runs fine for roughly 5-20m and then either crashes to desktop immediately or in a few rare cases, blacks out my screen entirely

I tried repairing DCS in slow mode, then a clean reinstall, none of which worked, also got rid of all mods I used and reduced graphics settings, but it still crashes as often as before.

Hi. You need more RAM to play over Syria in MP. If you have the budget, go for 64GB of RAM.

If you don't, or if you simply want to check without spending a dime, manually change the size of Windows pagefile.

Choose these settings:

Init size: 16384 (16GB)

Max size: 32768 (32GB)

Ensure you have enough space on your pagefile drive, and ensure it's fast enough (SSD or NVMe).

 

One last thing: if you want DCS to eat less RAM, lower its preload radius setting.

Thanks for the help! Idk if I can go for 64gb as my budget is extremely tight these past few months but I'll go for 32gb in a little over a week or so and see how it turns out.
