No mods installed, already repaired and cleaned everything after it crashed the first time.

I had some crashes even without a crash log. What I did and helped so far was to do a slow repair within the launcher, and delete the fxo and metashaders2 files.

Here: C:\Users\user\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\fxo

And here: C:\Users\user\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\metashaders2

^ I’ll give that a go too, cheers.

@Buzzer1977 DCS sees an issue with your VR gear:

2024-07-15 17:46:50.967 WARNING VISUALIZER (Main): VR MT preview: MT support SteamVR only through OpenXR, fallback to OpenXR
2024-07-15 17:46:55.175 ERROR   VISUALIZER (Main): OpenXR failure XrResult failure [XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE]

If you have an Oculus gear, either unsubscribe from the Oculus beta or try and disable the OpenXR toolkit. This is of course a workaround. The issue with Oculus v68 is reported.
