DCS CRASHING and NOT RESPONDING in multiplayer

[JB Pit BBQ Gaming]

So, as the title says, DCS keeps crashing or simply not responding when i try to join any multiplayer server.

I have 196gb free on my nvme and 1.81 tb free on the drive dcs is installed on. Deleted all unofficial mods, deleted and reinstalled the game, checked firewall issue, ran the clean up, ran the repair on slow and ran the check files selection… I also read that the super carrier module may cause an issue so I uninstalled that- checks my internet connection and it’s golden… we have the gigabyte internet from Verizon and it’s hardwired not using WiFi…also purged all DCS folders out of the "save game" folder and retried it and still nothing... it still gives me the "dcs is not responding" even if i wait and cycle it 5-6 times it still gives that error... i was finally able to join one server and it crashed to the desktop shortly after i chose my aircraft....My PC is also fairly beefy with a RTX3070, Ryzen 5 5600x, 32gb DDR4 ram.....

Cycled through a few of the “dcs not responding” errors and still won’t let me join an MP server…   Single player, tutorials, campaign all work perfectly- it’s legit only MP….. got any more ideas fellas?? Thanks in advance!

Try setting your pagefile to a fix MIN and MAX of 32 GB.  For MP 32GB RAM is marginal and you're only showing 5 GBish of pagefile currently.

And have you deleted your FXO and METASHADER2 folders?  There are a lot of shader compiler errors in your log.

This log also does not show a game crash. If this was from when the game "crashed" then may be Windows itself "killing" the process. Run the Windows DxDiag tool and attach the output of that here as well when this occurs next.
