Hi, DCS says it lacks memory:

I know that your PC has 64GB of RAM which should be enough for DCS. I see two possible causes:

1. Maybe DCS can't help using the system pagefile, even with 64GB of RAM. Your pagefile is 1 GB large, which is very uncommon. Try to let Windows handle the pagefile size. It should then go back to its default size (4GB).

2. Maybe some external programs eat away the rest of the RAM that is not used by DCS. Check your task manager while flying, and ensure DXS is the only big RAM consumer.

@Flappie I am also have this same CDT and before now I have very rarely CDT (maybe 1 per month at most). Looking at the forums it would seem that it has become a MUCH more common crash experienced by quite a few people. I have attempted the recommendations you have made in several other forums posts including the no mods, clean install of DCS, TDR changes, pagefile changes, memory and SSD scans for errors, no overclocks on cards and recreating my Saved Games.

The crash is VERY repeatable with flights on in the Syria F-15E instant action mission that is bomber intercept (I am not at my DCS machine to find the exact name but will update later) which is not an intense mission as far as unit count or high detail models.

-forgot to mention that I have also completely deleted and cleaned then reinstalled the 2 previous versions of the NVIDIA drivers for my GPU and tested with them also

1. This was the situation before 2.8.8 too, so this shouldn't be a factor

2. All I have in background are Discord, Whatsapp, MSI Afterburner, sometimes Spotify

Kallio, out of curiosity, were you on MP and using external view occasionally when you had your crash?

<S>

 

[Kallio]

I've had crashes without using external view.

[Alpiinoo]

If it crashes due to insufficient memory even at 64 GB, I Think is the main problem of the DCS.
