mousepilot Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 Hi everyone, I've been experiencing crashes in DCS more often in this patch. It's not a CTD but rather a "hang". This is the last entry on the log before the event: 2024-12-11 10:02:26.716 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid host_params(MAIN_34096897/main): position 2024-12-11 10:02:26.716 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid host_params(MAIN_34096897/main): orientation 2024-12-11 10:02:26.716 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid host_params(MAIN_34096897/main): velocity 2024-12-11 10:02:26.716 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid source_params(MAIN_34096897/main:aircrafts/ejectionseatwind): gain 2024-12-11 10:02:31.184 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid host_params(MAIN_17859585/main): position 2024-12-11 10:02:31.184 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid host_params(MAIN_17859585/main): orientation 2024-12-11 10:02:31.184 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid host_params(MAIN_17859585/main): velocity Has anyone experienced the same? I appreciate any help you can provide.
sleighzy Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 Please attach your "C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log" file, it may just be a text document named "dcs" if your Windows is hiding file extensions. Also run the Windows DxDiag tool, save the report, and attach it here as well. Have you also tried removing all your custom mods, running a slow repair of the game (with the remove files option selected), and deleting your "C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\fxo" and "metashaders2" folders and restarting the game?

mousepilot Posted December 12, 2024 Author Posted December 12, 2024 I'm only running the A4E and no other mods. As for the fxo and metashaders I do delete them everytime there is a patch or driver install. I had removed them previous to the "event". I'll see if I can get the log and the DxDiag, although I'm curious how the fxo and metashaders would be related to the sound issue in the log. Thanks for your help.
mousepilot Posted December 12, 2024 Author Posted December 12, 2024 It just happened again. Here is the log: dcs - Copy.log
Special K Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 Run a windows tool named dxdiag, press save everything and send the resulting dxdiag.txt Try again with Debug logging enabled. For that, put the attached autoexec.cfg in your Saved Games\DCS\Config folder and recreate the issue. Send a new log please. autoexec.cfg
AirSenpai Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Happening to me and its annoying. after the 2.9.10.4160 update.... deleted fxo and metashaders2, still crashed, re-installed, crashed. 32gb ram rtx 2070, ryzen 5600. ssd m2

Re-installations won't ever be better than a repair, only takes longer time. Remove mods, rename Saved Games.

AirSenpai Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 (edited) After deleting this same exact folder contents that had 140m of dump/crash files and logs stopped crashing the game. i even managed to get an air to air kill with the Kiowa. Edited December 14, 2024 by AirSenpai

mousepilot Posted December 14, 2024 Author Posted December 14, 2024 Today it happened twice. I'm a bit sceptical about the logs being the source of the issue, but I've deleted them. I've already sent the DxDiag and log file and it seems to be inconclusive as to what is going on. I'm now trying with the extended log options. Will report back.

It's from CoreMods, and ED is responsible for weapons.

Currently, I'm away from my rig for a while, but I'll continue my investigation when I'm back. What was the stacktracer that you were using? I could try to determine if my issue is in the same methods/code.

Its "Process Explorer" once it happens just find the DCS.exe and you can show all threads - and do the trace for the first two which takes the most CPU
mousepilot Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 I just had the same freeze again. It was behaving well after the patch, but it seems the issue is still present. dcs.log
Flappie Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Hi. Try to lower your "Preload radius" setting in DCS (lower it to 100 and see if it helps). If it does not help, please attach: your Export.lua file (from "Saved Games/DCS/Scripts") - it's OK if you don't find any, it's optional your DxDiag log (here's how to obtain one) ---
mousepilot Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 I had another freeze today: I attached two screenies with the look from Process Explorer. @Flappie I'll try to see if it improves the issue. Thank you.
mousepilot Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 And again just now. @Flappie Had set the Preload Radius to 100. Sent you the DxDiag and DCS.log privately. I hope it helps.
mousepilot Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Unfortunately, The freeze is still happening. dcs.log
Flappie Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I can't find anything relevant. You should open a support ticket: Log into DCS website. Click Support, then click "Create a new ticket". Say "Hello" from me. 1 1 ---
