EvilTea Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 (edited) so, after a lot of forum reading I'm still getting random crashes (all maps / modules), changed the page file / uninstalled mods / disabaled e-cores / disabled XMP / disabled hyper-threading / MemTest = 100%. / tried Process Lasso / No OC / latest GPU Driver... I've just about reached the end of what I can fathom and brain cells are running dry - however, my skills don't run to decyhpering the .log - would a kind soul take look and make a suggestion ? The only consistent result was turning off CPU #8 which stopped the stutters dcs.log DxDiag.txt dcs.log-20240314-214722.zip Edited March 16, 2024 by EvilTea latest .zip attached
Flappie Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 Hi, your dcs.log does not show any crash. Please attach the latest zip file from the Logs folder. ---
Czar66 Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 1-Disable every background programs besides programs your controllers needs. We've seen in the forum DCS crashes related to RGB profile programs in the background. Other kind of programs can as well play a factor. "disabled e-cores / disabled XMP / disabled hyper-threading / tried Process Lasso" 2-Undo all of the above. Everything at default in my end through several PC builds through the years. DCS have been solid. I'd assume is a background app issue. 3-Look at Windows Event Viewer to check for GPU device crash.

Hi, latest attached... further fiddling shows "Terrain Textures" HIgh / Low having a marked effect on gameplay stability
Flappie Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 Unfortunately, his zip does not contain the full dcs.log. If you have more crashes, please attach your latest zip ---
EvilTea Posted March 16, 2024 Author Posted March 16, 2024 So, I took your advice Czar66 and had a nose at the Event Viewer... Interestingly "Kernal-Power / Event 41" !!! After a quick google-around... how many times would someone bother to check your power supply, or least how the power is getting to your PC. I rearranged the power cabling at the back and gave the PSU its own dedicated socket (not via a surge protector / multi-socket)... and voila just had about 4hrs worth of crash-free aviation ! The stutters are still there unless I disable e-core #8 and if I dial back the display settings sliders (clutter, Scenery Details, Pre-load etc) to around 75-80% gives a nice sweet spot, and that's running the F-15E on one of the Caucasus' low level Mission / Training - an easy 150-180fps (obviously not VR) 1
