As the title says, on a fresh install and with official modules only, the game crashes to desktop or freezes on loading, specifically when the loading bar says "Visualizer Start Simulation".

Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 @ 4.5Ghz
32gb Ram @ 3200Mhz
Nvidia 2060 6Gb
64gb swap file
Game installed on an M.2 drive (Corsair MP600 pro)
Running on MT client.

I dont see anything strange on the log, did you perform a dcs_updater repair (or file integrity check in the case of Steam) ?  … to make sure that your install is not corrupt.

@enjOy It's a Windows dll that crashes:

And these messages makes me think you might have a RAM issue:

If a DCS repair does not help, you should test your RAM using MemTest86:

Interesting, probably the ram issue could be from me overclocking it? No other games show any kind of fault. Repair install didnt help, but I'll follow along the RAM issue track. I'll update this post once i have test results.

edit: Memtest86 says my RAM is all good, no errors. Slow repair to installation still no good. Researching for further clues on the DLL crashing.

Empty these folders:

  • Saved Games/DCS.../fxo
  • Saved Games/DCS.../metashaders2

then see if DCS keeps crashing.

Yup. That does it. I'll figure out a way to automate clearing the fxo and metashaders folder before launching the game

I do it manually, but just when DCS has been updated, about once per month.

Nah, if I dont clean fxo and metashaders before launching the game crashes.


One more info regarding the solution. It fixes the single thread client. MT still has the same isssue. And multiplayer performance is down the tubes

You just discovered yesterday that the shaders folders existed ... and now you are that sure about the need to clear them at every game run? 🙄

Yup, I was doing some config work to figure out if there was any combination of settings that would make multiplayer playable for me, so I launched the game several times. And like clockwork, if the shaders folder has anything on it, the game freezes and/or crashes at the same spot.

Did your problems start with 2.9? I had to upgrade my video card to a second hand 2080Ti. While I did have other errors compared to you, I've had no issues post upgrade. Could you borrow a newer one for testing purposes?

Yes, the issues started with 2.9. I was looking to upgrade to a 6650XT, I'll see if I can borrow a different card. If the issue is lack of video memory, maybe I'll have to reach for something bigger

Hmmm... My card crashed whenever it started compiling the shaders. It was the original Titan with 6GB. Cross my fingers that you are able to borrow a card for the troubleshooting!
