Sknusk Posted May 27, 2024 Posted May 27, 2024 Hello, I've had frequent crashes to desktop since the most recent update, in nearly every use case, SP, MP, Training missions. I run on MT only. Every instance is when the loading is nearly finished, then crash to desktop. I first noticed it with the F-4, and assumed it was because its new and in early access. However, I've had the same issue with other modules too. Usually reloading the game works, but sometimes it doesn't load completely until the third try. The few mods I use, mostly aircraft, are all disabled. I've run a full, slow repair. Cleared the fxo and metashaders folders. No new hardware. I don't have a powerful desktop, but I've run DCS at very low graphics settings for about 2 years and its run very well until recently. Will attach the most recent crash log, where I was waiting for a Marianas MP server to load. Unsure if its related to this, but the splash screen loading time seems 3-4x longer than in the past. Thank you for your help. dcs.log
Flappie Posted May 27, 2024 Posted May 27, 2024 You may have an issue with the drive DCS is installed on. If you have enough room on another drive, just copy the entire DCS World folder to it, and launch it (/bin-mt/DCS.exe). ---

I'll probably have to buy a new drive and re-install everything. But will report back with results. Thank you for your time.
Sknusk Posted May 28, 2024 Author Posted May 28, 2024 So in the interest of saving some money I downloaded the Samsung magician SSD software to run diagnostics on my m.2 drive, and no errors or problems were found. However, the firmware was quite outdated and so far, DCS has run smoothly since the update. I'm not yet convinced that this was the issue but hopefully that's all it was.
Sknusk Posted May 29, 2024 Author Posted May 29, 2024 Well, nevermind, had another crash. This time was after loading after making a plane selection on MP server. I'll start looking for another drive unless there's something else going on. dcs.log
Solution Sknusk Posted July 30, 2024 Author Solution Posted July 30, 2024 Quick update, I haven't had any with random crashes sine the June updates, and I did not change any hardware.
