Keyboard/Joystick becomes unresponsive

[Mango15532]

Hi All,

I recently came across strange behaviour where 3-4 mins into my session, all of sudden my joystick/keyboard becomes unresponsive. Pressing ALT+TAB does not not anything either. The only way is to press CTRL+ALT+DEL and task manager to close DCS. Not sure what is going on there, I am on DCS open beta latest version and NO I am not using any headtracking stuff. I currently own Persian Gulf, Supercarrier and F18 Hornet modules. I have also got F14 tomcat, Huey and P51 mustang as trial modules.

My System specs: i5 6500 Cpu, GTX 1070 8GB Graphics card and 32GB Ram. DCS is currently installed on SSD.

Any suggestions?

Whenever it happens to you again, attach your log here so we can give you clues (Saved Games/DCS.../Logs/dcs.log).

Thanks - Apparently it was something to do with pagefile size. If it happens again then I shall post a log here.

Okay I don't why but the same issue started again, couple of mins into same scenario and controls/keyboard stop working. Only mouse works for some reason as result I have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to go to taskbar but then it crashes. I am attaching the log below.

It looks like a freeze: no error message at the end, nothing suspicious.

Try the following solutions (they worked for some in the past):

1. Update Windows
2. Update graphics driver
3. Reinstall NVMe drivers
4. Check for bad drive or bad drive cable
5. Remove DCS-ExportScripts
6. Try running DCS with all unneeded drives unplugged, and especially HDDs
7. Inside "C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp", delete any "DCS..." folder.
8. Disable Razer Synapse.

Hello,

I have tried all of solution above - weirdly It only happens occasionally and with only F14 module. The other modules work fine with no problems.
