Crash to Desktop During Training Missions 1 and 2

Last one for today. Tried a training mission and then just threw my F-4 onto the tarmac to practice some landings. Forgot to grab the logs the first time, but here's the one from me just dropping it onto the Caucasus map at Tbilisi.

@BIGNEWY Question for you too, since you may have seen this in the past, but do you know if the crashes that I see referenced in Windows Event Viewer pointing towards ModuleName edCore.dll with the ExceptionCode c00000fd would be an indication of anything in particular concerning DCS? From what I can tell with some light Google searching it appears to be tied to stack overflow issues, but I'm not sure if that would just be the way DCS would crash if it was anything. 

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a bigger issue. It does still seem like I'm only experiencing this with the F-4 in particular, but I just didn't want to miss the forest for the trees.

Alright, I rolled back my drivers to some older GPU drivers, so we'll see how it works tomorrow morning. I did a quick test just opening the training mission and letting it sit while I ate dinner, and I came back about 30 minutes later without a crash. I'll try and actually get through the training tomorrow morning and see. 

Edit: Well, it seemed promising at first. I got about 10 minutes into the training, but then it crashed again on me. I've attached the log for this recent one as well. Still seeing the same ERROR ED_SOUND (Main) issues that seem to pop up just before the previous crashes, not sure if there's any relation.

Final test. Guess I'm out of ideas after this one, so I'll just have to wait and see. I dropped most everything in graphics to low, though the computer should be able to handle it (I haven't had issues in any other games so far, and the GPU stress test I ran didn't show a problem anywhere). I've got ~40GB of page file memory allocated, rolled back the drivers and fired up the taxi training mission. I was able to complete the mission, which was a first, granted it was a bit tough with the graphics turned down since I couldn't read the panels well. 

Anyhow, got to the end of training, took off just to see, and while rotating out i crashed on me again. I'll throw the log in here.

I did some testing today on the Linux side. I have a swap file(page file) of 20GB and 32GB RAM I am barely dipping into the swap file. CPU and GPU loads are normal (for DCS that is). I'm going to look further into the log.

I am having the same issues so I hope you can find a solutio.  Ill add my log

At this point, I think I'm going to hang out and wait and try the F-4 after the next patch. I might give a few flights a try this week, but so far, it seems none of my changes have worked, so it's possible it's a game/F-4 issue, or just something I haven't sorted out quite yet.

I do need to spend some time in the Apache on the new computer still, so I might give that a try while waiting.

Alright, one more thing I thought to try to see if it would affect the issue. I made sure I was specifically running the MT launcher for DCS. Sadly, no change there. Still crashed in the training mission a few minute in (shortly after connecting external power). Tossed the log in, and from what I'm seeing, it looks like more of the same error messages.

Good news/bad news for me and Heatblur. I hopped into a mission I'd created before upgrading to my new computer just to fly the Apache, and once again, was greeted with a crash, only this time the thing just locked my computer up to the point that I had to hard reset. No idea what's causing this, but I guess I'm going to go spend some time trying to sort that out. I'll throw what came up in the log just in case it's useful to anyone. 

I guess my dreams of stutter-free flying with the beefier computer aren't being realized as much as I was hoping they would be. Might have to go try and dig the old one out of the dumpster for the time being.

Good new the latest update seems to have fixed the crashing issues for me. Although my Jester UI seems to be missing, then again I might be using it wrong.

 

I am on the Pop OS! 22.04 LTS

I guess it's not fully a solution, but I wanted to mark this as solved, just in case the Heatblur crew are sorting threads by unsolved or anything.

The F-4E doesn't appear to be the cause of my crashes, just the unfortunate accomplice since I was trying to fly it a ton when I finally got DCS on the new computer.

Anyway, DCS appears to be crashing due to some combination of my hardware and the game not working well together. It seems the crashes are largely due to a few settings and multi-threading. Running the older single-thread.exe from the /bin directory seems to have eliminated 95% of my crashing issues, along with turning of SSAO and SSLR. It seems my system is still handling things fine, as it's pretty easily getting ~110 fps, but I'll just have to keep trying to adjust the settings as updates are released.
