SatThuVoBui Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) I upgraded recently to a new rig and I'm experiencing CTDs frequently flying in a private server with a friend.

SatThuVoBui Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Gotcha. I'll report in a week then. I'll be away from my computer until. 1 CPU: i7 6700k OC @ 4.7 ghz MoBo: ASUS Maximus VIII Ranger Z170 RAM: 32GB DDR4 Ripjaw GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB/4TB Western Digital Black HDD Monitor: Dell 27" S2716DG 1440p 144hz HOTAS: Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle / VKB Sim Fat Black Mamba Mk.III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatThuVoBui Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Hello. I just got back from my vacation. So first thing I tried was deleting my entire saved games folder then running DCS, and it crashed so hard that windows crashed. Then I tried upping my pagefile size to 32gb as you recommended, and I was able to play for an hour hosting a private MP server with a friend. I monitored my CPU temps and it didn't go above 75c, and interestingly I saw DCS was using 22.5gb of RAM...I think that might've been the culprit. Because if DCS was using 22.5gb of RAM, and hypothetically if windows or some other background process was using up the other 9.5gb on my system, that could cause the systemwide crash.

DCS has over the years gotten more and more memory hungry. i personally believe that this is a big part or many crashes. i got a new pc 4/2021 with as much RAM as i could get, 128. i do not get crashes.
