solved Constant crashes

[SWAR1]

I am having constant crashes and have tried everything I can think of and follow online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Was running a repair one of the things you’ve already tried?

Do you run an Overclocked graphics card? If so, it might be worth reducing the overclock a bit

Looking at the 0x887A0006 error in your DCS log it could be this, or you have a corrupt install (but I am assuming you have run DCS repair)

[SWAR1]

yes and I searched for extra files also

then cleaned

The first important error is "XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE":

Please try this solution:

 

[SWAR1]

so rename options.lua and then delete Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Khronos\OpenXR\1\ApiLayers\Implicit?

I'm not the best with this stuff so, just want to make sure before I do something stupid...lol

 

[Flappie]

Start with deleting the registry key. If it exists, it should be enough.

[SWAR1]

C:\Program Files\OpenXR-Toolkit\XR_APILAYER_MBUCCHIA_toolkit.json

 

won't this delete openxr toolkit from dcs though?

 

I will try it, just confused lol

 

 

[Flappie]

Like I said in the other thread, you can save the key before deleting it.

So far this is the longest I have played after deleting the registry key without a crash. Looks like it worked!

Thank you!!

The only thing I used the toolkit for was the shaders and color adjustment. Not necessary but, was nice

[Flappie]

Great!

[SWAR1]

I am still getting a crash, not as often so maybe it is another issue?

Now the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED error comes first. I consider this a progress. Let's see if these solutions can help:

 

[SWAR1]

OK, I will start at the top...lol

 

[SWAR1]

Noticing technicolor 3 is also causing micro stutters. Don't think it is causing my crashes but very noticeable when switching color grading off.

[SWAR1]

looks like I got lucky and slow repair fixed it

now onto my micro stutters...lol

thanks again

[SWAR1]

I was doing great until now, when I hit the ground it crashed this time. This is what I had for logs. How do you know what error to look at?

dcs.log dcs.log.old

no zip file

The A-4 mod (which you either have or have remnants of still installed) could be causing you issues.  Try uninstalling it.

[SWAR1]

Taz1004_UI_TextSize

 

this is the culprit. Only crashes when it is active.
