solved DCS ST and MT crashing.

[Flappie]

If you haven't already, try running the two .exe from your "/DCS World OpenBeta/distr/" folder.

If I remember correctly, one of them will fail, because it's already installed.

Wondered if this is what I've observed when troubleshooting my incident... Have seen it several times and wondered why the were 2 instances running.

I have ran both files, indeed the file named "vc_redist.x64" fails to run properly, and the file named "vcredist_x64" allows me to uninstall or repair, I checked repair and I will post my findings in game soon.

Update to this thread, the crashing persists after a ~15 minute session yesterday. I have not tested the new openbeta hotfix (will try later this evening) and update this thread again. 
The crash log output was identical to the most recent one I posted two days ago.

I just tried playing the MT client after patching to the latest hotfix deployed this morning. Game crashed instantly once I loaded into the cockpit of the F/A-18C. Crash log output is the same, attached below.

I've tried flying low over London after this latest update. Oh and Damascus as well. I run the MT thing in stable version and my settings are pretty high there (and I'll keep them at that, thank you). Anyways, my GPU (Nvidia 3090Ti) goes hot after 3 or 4 minutes of low flying (really low flying OK) - going up from 55C rapidly and topping at 75C. And then it shuts down. So it's black screen Happens over BOTH Damascus and London, with a Spit of course. I've also noticed how quickly the GPU recovers if you go skywards. It can go from 70C to 60C in ten seconds or so.

So then, I'm VERY happy with the performance we've gotten but my GPU obviously can't handle big cities anymore. And I won't do anything about it because it works just fine with everything else (IL-2 modern and old). I could of course try lowering the graphic settings but I'd rather not.

Cheers

Update: Rebuilt C drive files and still crashes, at this point I'm just considering waiting for the next openbeta patch to see if the issue is resolved. I could run the last multithreaded patch just fine.

You're hijacking another thread here. And you say, you have a hardware issue, mainly a bad cooling on your GPU but won't do anything about it and compare DCS with another game where you think it is comparable (which it in fact isn't). So what's that all about? Get your cooling sorted and you're good.

I've read your issue that you opened up with ED and came here as you posted a link.

That error that you get is definitely a hardware / driver thing. You won't fix it with anything else but working on them.

Did you try to remove the driver with DDU already or do you by chance use the studio driver?

Here is a link for some more ideas, especially the registry fix you can try, too:

I've ran DDU already but I have not tried modifying my registry, I will try these and post here again.

Hello SpecialK,

I ran the registry fix and uninstalled geforce experience and one of the two seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you for the registry suggestion as I would not have thought of it myself. I will keep monitoring gameplay for the next day or two before marking an answer and closing the thread. So far, I have been able to play two multiplayer lives with almost all graphics turned up. 

[Akula108]

Update: I seem to have isolated the crashing to the GeForce experience app but only with the in-game overlay enabled, quite unfortunate as I wanted to use that as my main source of recording and measuring performance metrics. I don't really know what causes the app to conflict with DCS.

I am happy to share that after disabling the in-game overlay of GeForce Experience, I have been able to play DCS on Multithreading for the past two days in single-player and multi-player without any crash issues.

Edited for spelling errors.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.
