solved Experiencing constant crashes

[Tomcatter87]

Hello there, once again, I experience constant crashes. Sometimes the game load gets stuck, mostly at "wait for pooled tasks" .Then again a mission starts, textures load (take a long time...) and then, after some seconds, a CTD. Sometimes I get the crash message later in a mission - and sometimes DCS still seems to run after that. I deactivated my mods, I deleted FXO and metashader folders - running out of tricks here. dcs.log

Here's another log file:  dcs.log

When I started with DCS via STEAM in 2022 my logs looked like yours: missing this, error here, unknown someting... and crashes. Then I transfered my licenses from STEAM to the standalone-version und never had that mass of issues, problems and crashes again. 

Did you checked your local files using the STEAM-function?

[Tomcatter87]

Yes, I checked them, Steam didn't find anything to repair. Now I even get bluescreens occasionally.

Holy <profanity>, sounds like a driver problem or corrupt corefile from windows. A usefull  tool for this is the blue-screen-viewer: https://www.heise.de/download/product/bluescreenview-69335

Good luck, hope you'll be back soon in your tomcat!

Thanks a lot, I'll try that out.

And don't forget to check your complete RAM.
I had this some years ago: brand new 1070 GTX inserted and bluescreen after bluescreen. First candidate was the 1070 but my RAM got damaged and had to be replaced.

[Tomcatter87]

RAM seems okay, still DCS crashes after some seconds in each mission. Here's the newest log file. dcs.log

im crashing also since up date . But i have mods running

[Atari800XL]

Bad news but ok, I see there two options:

1. you contact the ED-support directly and prepare all needed logs (dxdiag) or

2. you dive deep into the windows eventviewer and search the crash-event, I think in the STEAM-Version it's also a DCS.exe-crash. This event should tell you exactly what + why (it) crashed and possibly gives you a hint how to solve this. I would send this details directly to the support
If you're not familiar with the event viewer please read this: https://betterstack.com/community/guides/logging/how-to-view-and-analyze-logs-with-windows-event-viewer/

Okay, I seem to have gotten rid of my crashes after opening up a ticket on the ED page. They suggested I should update my C ++ Visual Studio pack - so I did, and until now I did not have any CTDs and was able to fly a 2 hour mission yesterday.

Great news, hope your system will stay stable!

Me and my friend had in the past days since the latest patch mutiple crashes too. He uses Steam version, i use standalone. We do not use Mods.

Before this patch we had none crashes.

At least i can say that i already use newest vs pack:

We both use windows 10
