whataboutbob71 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I am constantly getting Blue Screen Of Death crashes with the latest version. I have ran full memory diagnostics, check every disk, multiple version of video drivers, sfc ( system file checks ), OS Reformat and Reset, and a Full clean install of DCS. The stop error is either a Critical Process Stop message or a 0xc000021a stop code, nothing get written to the event log besides the improper shutdown message on restart. I have ran 3DMark 4k Extreme bench tests and a 4k Extreme Stress Test without issue. Other stressful games also rung without errors. 2.9 in general has been a major hit on my system and this latest patch has simply killed my ability to play the game for more than an hour because of the crashes. I watched a YT video one some changes you have made to "optimize" video performance so I thought I'd post this on the forum. Is there a way to revert back to 2.8? Hardware is a custom built PC. ASUS TYF Gaming Z790 Plus Wifi Motherboard BIOS 1641 Intel i9-13900K CPU 128GB G.SKill Memory Nvidia 3090 FE Video w/551.76 GR Drivers 2TB WD Black M.2 nVME Disk for OS and DCS There are other nVME and SSD drives on the system.

whataboutbob71 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Its not hardware and by my original post I have gone through all possible hardware testing. DCS is the only game this happens with and only with the latest version. I've been playing DCS with the this RIG for over a year now. Is there a way to go back to 2.8?

whataboutbob71 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 Just an update on this. It turned out to be XMP got enabled on my system and threw the memory frequencies out of normal. Took multiple memtest86 sessions to find this out. I set the memory back to use Auto and haven't had the issue since. Its strange though DCS was the only simulation game that trigger the events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
