Freediver72 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I will be flying along all good, the game locks up. I alt+tab to another app and right back in and the plane is flying again. I do this several times then the computer locks up completely, no keys work, must hard reset. I’ve deleted shader and fxo folders, nothing fixes it.

Freediver72 Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) In the video the hesitation is where I hit Alt+Tab (which didn't show in the video) and tabbed across open windows and straight back to DCS. As soon as another tab was highlighted DCS resumed, so I cycled back to it and continued flying. I can do this several times. Last night however after several times of this my computer completely locked up and had to hold the power button to recover. glitch.mp4 dcs.log mobettameta's Dogfight Arena v1.76.1-20231021-155242.trk Edited October 21, 2023 by Freediver72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try disabling Windows core parking if it is not already. Video Also turn one drive off while you are playing DCS and see if you notice a difference. If it was me, as you have plenty of RAM I would leave the pagefile on auto. 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Video Please do not link to this video as it does not state that you have to apply it to your currently active power plan. Finding the first key does not guarantee it is your active power plan so you might not actually have disabled parking. See 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been more stabe since rolling back the driver. I have turned off OneDrive and I will keep the Core Parking tip in my back pocket incase I continue to have issues.

Freediver72 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) So, I have been doing ok. I tried to install the new Nvidia drivers released 3 days ago and the issue returned. I have now put the drivers back to an older version, I think 3 releases ago. --So far this has again resolved the issue Edited October 30, 2023 by Freediver72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
