DCS Crash and freezing

[Dragan]

Hello, I just now had 2 DCS crashes in one night mission, I don't know what is happening all of a sudden, even though I excluded DCS from the antivirus scan items.I also cleaned out the FXO and Metashaders folders,don't own any unofficial mods...

For starters, your system is getting pretty weak for current versions of DCS.  At a minimum try bumping your pagefile to get a total of 64 GB between pagefile and physical RAM.  There are a lot of recent crash issues where the user has 16 GB or less of RAM.  While that may technically meet minimum requirements, it's not really realistic anymore.  Also a RX570 video card with 4 GB is going to make this worse (and it doesn't meet min 6 GB requirement).  DCS is very memory hungry.

Over the past few updates, I'm now constantly using over 90% of my 32GB memory.

The FPS used to be around 40-50 on the F-4E, but now it's around 20-25.

Isn't it possible to limit memory usage more?

But the GPU isn't even using 50. (RTX2070SUPER)

I currently have this capacity, would increasing the RAM memory improve things a bit from the current 16G for another 16 to get 32G

現在この容量を持っていますが、RAMメモリを現在の16Gからさらに16G増やして32Gにすると、状況は少し改善されるのでよろしくお願いします?

My PC has a CPU: i7 3770, GPU: RTX 2070S, and 32GB of memory, and the CPU is very old. But I've never had a crash.

I can't say for sure because it depends on the compatibility of the parts, but I think DCS will be difficult if you don't have at least 32GB of memory.

As I wrote above, even with 32GB, I'm always using over 90% even in solo play.

I don't have the capacity to spare. X (

The CPU is old, so it's also kept at over 90%. If I want to go any further, I'll have to buy a new PC.

I'm waiting for ED to make both the CPU and memory lighter.

Thank you.

I've only had problems with DCS 2.9 since it came out, intermittent ones
not constantly, while with the previous two versions 2.7 and especially 2.8 there were no crashes, I don't know why this version is specific, luckily this doesn't happen intensively like last night.I have done all the mentioned recommendations for easier operation of DCS, I have to increase the RAM memory until I improve the computer...
