Crash Logs. need some help.

[Cop9885]

I'm at my wits end with DCS at the moment. Frequent crashes mid game, which force my PC to reboot and don't create a crash log. Or crashes when I leave a mission back to main screen. which do create a crash log. 

When I say frequent, I mean all the time. It's now the norm to crash 2-3 times per mission when flying with my mates. Whilst they never seem to have an issue.

 

When it restarts my PC I get a what can only described as a squeal through my VR headset, before the computer locking up then instantly rebooting. Last night I deleted and fully re-installed DCS, still getting the crashes. Get them in both VR and standard play.

I've attached the most recent crash log. In the hope that someone can decipher it, as it's total gibberish to me. The next step is a complete deletion and re-installation of windows, which I'm keen to avoid.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well over at the DCS Discord channel they have a log analyzer. I ran it and it noted this:

 

Errors
Your DCS has crashed
The crash occurred inside ntdll.dll.
Try a !repair of DCS
Remove your custom mods.
Delete Saved Games\DCS\fxo and metashaders2 and try again.
Next, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\TEMP\DCS and try again.
Next, try renaming Saved Games\DCS to DCS.old and try again.

 

Also are you familiar with DISM repairs for windows?? If not try this to maybe repair a broken windows:

in command prompt run as admin then Type the following command, and then press Enter.  It may take several minutes for the command operation to be completed.

1. DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

then run this 

 

2. dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

 

then run this:

 

3. sfc /scannow

 

if it said it found errors and fixed them reboot and rerun the same scans in command prompt as admin.. do this until it says it found no integrity viloations..

You also use mods so it is probally those.. but the log analyzer said you crashed because that dll file so maybe try all of it above..
