AtlasR1se Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 So after the lengthy update to 2.9, thought I would try out a few training missions to check it all out. Imagine my (not very much) surprise when all missions at all settings lock up on loading screen, loading stops and locks up at Terrain Preload 100 : Stage 38. Any guidance into what is happening would be a massive help. Thanks.

Flappie Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Yes, that's even better that what I asked, since some of these zips include the dcs.log file alog with other useful files such as dxdiag.log (DirectX log).

Flappie Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Good. Anyway, I didn't know this crash message until now and you are already two users getting it. It may be some bug, not a problem on your PCs. Do you keep getting the crash after today's update? Edited October 26, 2023 by Flappie ---

TOViper Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Updated DCS with today's update OB 2.9.0.47168, and also updated NVIDIA to 545.92 > the problem seems gone for the moment.

hughesj2 Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Hi all, been watching this thread as I had this on day one and it was very frustrating I had a particular issue with the AH-64D and Syria/Sinai where I had created a quick cold start mission in the ME on either of these maps I noticed that certain quick starts like Caucasus with the F-15SE were not affected I noticed that being impatient and clicking on the loading screen (which was very slow) seemed to generate a popup (DCS has crashed dialog) although this could just be an issue where that dialog does not pop to the foreground over the app if it's unresponsive. I noticed that my fans spun up like crazy (CPU hit 100% and my RAM, 32GB was exhausted) I noticed that the DCS.log, even with a "good start" is full of errors and warnings like as below (this makes it very difficult to see the wood for the trees) - I've attached my successful launch DCS.log - Process was, clear all logs, launch the sim, launch Instant Action AH-64D Cold Start - Sinai, Load into the cockpit and then quit to desktop. ERROR wInfo (Main): negative drag of payload "MK_82*28" ERROR EDCORE (Main): No suitable driver found to mount mods/terrains/sinai/models/modellighteffects/modellighteffects.texture.zip ERROR EDTERRAINGRAPHICS41 (15600): missing object declaration: light_source_spot_red_stop WARNING FLIGHT (Main): No taxiroad found on Ramon Airbase from 4 to 2 ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND (9956): texture '.' not found. Asked from '' ERROR_ONCE DX11BACKEND (18040): Can't load 'Fonts/font_general_RU.dds' in texture array ''. Has thankfully now gone away after; Run a slow repair with the Extra files checked Uninstalled via DCS module manager and deleted folders for 349th Range Targets (or whatever it's called) and Military Aircraft Mod Switched off all the new features like DLSS etc and made sure the LOD slider was back to default (I'd experimented with 2.0) Uninstalling graphics drivers (via device manager and apps/features), rebooting and then installing with a clean install the latest drivers (which I already had) - I had to do this several times as it didn't seem to totally remove the device driver (RTX4080) In Nvidia control panel ensure the Shader Cache Size was reset to Driver Default (from unlimited) in the Global 3d settings Clearing out the DCS shader folders Clearing out C:\Users\your-name\AppData\Local\Temp\ Reset my page file to windows recommended (it lives on C:\ and my DCS is on H:) Run a slow repair with the Extra files checked again Hope this helps those of you struggling Cheers James dcs.log Edited October 27, 2023 by hughesj2 Added point 2, Syria typo 2

Flappie Posted November 27, 2023 Posted November 27, 2023 A Friend of mine says it only happens to him when loading a second mission, and only if DLAA is used. Can you please all confirm the problem goes away when you are NOT using DLAA? ---
AtlasR1se Posted December 8, 2023 Author Posted December 8, 2023 Sorry, only just caught this thread. I have changed my motherboard and then done another full repair. I can confirm now that I am able to play again. Don't know if it had anything to do with the older M/B or not, but I am also seeing a marginal frame rate increase after the upgrade. Thank you all for taking the time to look into this, and once again sorry for the delay in my response. 1
