Game crashes when trying to start the game after F-4E released

[VictorW]

A friend of mine gets this problem.

His config as below:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU： Nividia GeForce RTX 3080

RAM: 64G

SSD: Colorful CN600 1T

Before DCS:F-4E released, he had no problem playing DCS. But after that, he got game crashes with no reason every time.

Every time he tried to run the DCS programme, his PC just stopped working and jammed. No matter where he clicks, just nothing happened.

Sometimes luckily, he got into main menu of the game. Maybe 2 or 3 seconds later, the PC got no respose either and he cannot open the Taskmanager to kill the programme. The only way to recover from this situation and "regain control of his PC" is to kill the power of the PC.

Even fortunately, the game didn't crash after 3 seconds, when he click "quit game" button, same thing happed again and he had to kill the power of PC and reboot.

Once the Taskmanager shows that the GPU usage is -1%. Among all CPU cores, CPU12 is fully occupied.

 

Sorry for my poor english. Appreciated if anyone knows how to solve this thing.

i.e. He has unloaded every non-official third party mods. (aircrafts, tech, services, everything deleted)    And by the way, everytime this thing happens, it has no crash report so I guess there is no xxx.crash file available, sorry for that. But if need any log files, just let me know and I'll ask him for that.

Hi, if possible please attach the dcs log from a session where it crashed, it should give us more clues. 

thank you

Thanks for reply.

So, here comes the problem, that there is no crash log just a "dcs.log" file as below. I wish this file could get us some help.

Thanks again.

dcs.log

And by the way, this problem happens very often. But very weird thing is, when he use a ASUS keyboard, the game crashes with no sigh and reason. When he changes his keyboard to a Logitech keyboard, the game just run smoothly as hell.

So, just weird thing happens. Very confused.

Please check this script

However I do not think that is the problem,

The log stops abruptly 

2024-06-13 12:52:47.324 WARNING LOG (4616): 1 duplicate message(s) skipped.

Is there any overclocking of the cpu. gpu or ram? if so please try default values. 

Run a verify of DCS in steam also just to be sure. 

In saved games dcs please delete metashader2 and fxo folders, next time you load DCS it will take slightly longer to load as it creates shaders. 

thank you
