[Resolved] DCS crashes/freezes anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 minutes after loading the F4

Occurring 100% of the time with the F4 so far, not occurring with any other module.  DCS freezes and I have to shut it down using the task manager. I've waited up to 10 minutes to see if it picks back up, sound still plays the whole time but that's it.    

In addition to the freezes I have had one system crash while flying the F4.  Several log files attached.

For whatever reason, DCS does not have write access to your saved games folder. Your logs are full of write errors like this:

Later in the log it is trying to recompile shaders and continuously getting 'Access denied' errors.

 

Possible reasons might be your anti-virus is blocking the write, check that you do not have windows 'protected folders' enabled, or some other reason

Thanks Adrian!  It wasn't the protected folders option, but somehow my Saved Games folder had reverted to read only.  Flew around Nellis for at least 30 minutes without a freeze, I believe I am good to go.

Same issues around here!.

When on the F-4, around 5 to 10 minutes freezing and crashing to DCS Blocked warning pop-up window.

Been reading @hews500d about having the "Saved Games" folder reverted to "read only" and I just discovered same setting applied to mentioned folder. Strange!! (Windows 11 updates may do such bizarre things? 🙃)

Will give it a shot and test it. Hope is same waythrough to solve it.

Thanks both @hews500d & @HB_Painter. Greetings from Spain.

Tried all ways possible (almost as far as I know) trying to uncheck "Read only" properties from Saved Games folder and no joy, can´t  do it. 

DCS keeps crashing while 5 to 10 minutes and giving me logs about missing DCS sound files and so on.

Here is my dcs.log. Also uploaded it to this thread: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/349233-bug-29555300-gamecrash-after-loading-f-4e-cockpit/

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows a way out.
