DCS & Pimax Crystal Light Constant Freezing and Crashing

[pimp]

The Memory Integrity setting was enabled on my machine so I turned that off. Also, after many tries of disabling Virtualization, I finally figured out it was enabled through my BIOS. So I disabled it there turned off the lock framerate setting in Pimax Play but I still received a crash. It took over 5 minutes to crash but it still did. I think I'll stick with locking the framerate setting. The logs are attached if you need them. Thanks again.

Hi @Flappie,

I've been busy but I have been testing. For the last few days I have been able to figure out the issue. If I enable the "Lock to Half Framerate" option in Pimax Play DCS runs perfectly. In fact, it's more smoother locked at 45. The debugger shows I'm CPU Bound in red and my frametimes graph is much more stable. Not spiking all over the place. Not sure why I need this setting but it could be a combo of Windows 11, DCS, & Pimax issue. Hopefully all those bug reports I submitted to ED can help the devs.

 

 

Previously, I did disable Process Lasso, but that did not work. Now I have disabled it since it does not look like I need it any longer. Also, you mentioned the logs showed my VPM was active but I did not see that in my Windows Features.

 

Regardless, I'm glad I finally figured this out. Thank you for your time and effort in helping me get to this solution.

This week I began also experiencing pretty much the same issue as described in this thread ('the dreaded "DX device removed" error') along with windows BSOD bugchecks as analyzed by windebug below

    • 0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation occurred.
    • FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  AV_nvlddmkm!unknown_function
    • MODULE_NAME: nvlddmkm IMAGE_NAME:  nvlddmkm.sys
 

Followed the advise here as well as updating to the latest Nvidia drivers (NVCleanstall). Sofar so good, however i also noticed much less crazy spikes (the resulted in BSOD-bugcheck) on mission load by also following your advice PP 120/half-frame-rate (although it seems as if moving terrain is now a bit blurry - might be me imagining that)
