mission created to crash any system Consistent CTD in FPS testing mission

[Livers]

Not my mission, can't recall where it came from. Requires A-10C, don't need to fly anywhere, I just go to the F2 view and let it run. Consistent crash following an onscreen message "Hawgs inbound..." I've tried Low/Medium/High graphics presets, no difference, same crash.

Hi, 

your pagefile is a little small, change your pagefile to at least 32768 MB (initial size) it may help. 

 

Tuning Tips
 
Set Water to Medium or Low.
Disable civil traffic.
Turn off SSLR.
Turn off SSAO.
Set Shadows to Medium.
Consider using DLAA.

Testing it now. 

The mission has been created to crash DCS,  

I can show the team, but I know what they will say, with so many events happening it is going to overwhelm any system. 

The crash is in the graphics driver 

C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nvmdig.inf_amd64_a3a35b9b20ddd8f1\nvwgf2umx.dll

My advice is not to use this mission.

LOL, thanks for looking, BN.

OK, reducing the Smerch count from 40(!) to 10 makes it doable here.

And with the latest update to 2.9.8.12140, the mission in my OP runs now without crashing! With the caveat that FPS does drop to single digits at several points. So well done ED on performance improvements this patch.
