DCS constantly crashes after 5-20 mins on more populated servers. Not memory related issue.

[VoidStaff]

Hello, 

sadly my previous thread on that matter got partially ignored after I got back to the issue with new info. 

My DCS constantly crashes on more populated DCS servers. The game seems fairly stable on SP and empty MP servers.

Doesn't matter if it's MT or ST version of DCS. 

I also performed slow repair of DCS twice.

Memory I imagine is not an issue here either. I have set pagefile to 32GB, it's better (I think) but it still crashes almost always.

log files below (zip is for some reason 0kb and cannot be sent here).

 

Thanks for help

best regards

Hi, 

thanks for pointing that out. I removed the .lua file from the directory. Sadly that does not resolve the issue though. I hopped onto the server three times just to get a crash just a few minutes after joining my friend in F-15E

Here are the most recent logs including the zip file now.

 

Best regards

Looks like an out of memory crash. 

Worth doing a slow repair of DCS
Deleted metashader2 and FXO folders in saved games dcs
Increase pagefile

If you are using any other unofficial mods, or scripts might be worth removing them for troubleshooting

Thanks,

As I mentioned I did already try doing slow repair and increased the pagefile up to 32GB. I will try doing the repair again. 32GB of pagefile seems to be plenty, no? I might just get it to 64GB.

As for metashader2 and FXO folders that's good to know. Will try that as well.

Regarding mods: I use SRS, tacview and to some extent the movingmap mods. It might indeed be worth removing that to see the results. 

Best regards

let me know if you have any luck, I am sure others will take a look here also. 

thank you
