Guys i think finally i found the issue...

 

Whenever i start DCS with TrackIR running, it freezes but without TrackIR software running it all just works normally

I don't have an TrackIRr, but the problem is the same. There's a whole topic about this, but it's in Russian.

This happened to me when I updated TrackIR software.I reverted back to an older version and keep it that way today. Using 5.4.2.27545.

Use the "Park Control" program and your problem will be solved.

No effect on the freeze for me, with or without park control. The logs also don't show any cores being parked.

 

It freezes with and without trackir for me as well.

Game is still freezing as of update 2.9.15.9408 logs attached. Can someone from ED please weigh in on this issue Multiple threads have been started, across both Russian and English language forums, several people on discord have encountered this same issue. I have been through the ENTIRE Crash trouble shooting guide, with no success. This issue is completely sapping my enjoyment of the game.

@BIGNEWY @NineLine 1) Are developers being aware of problem? None of any visible reaction so long.
2) what "pause10: xxxx cycles" value in logs means? Those who have that problem seems to have high 'std dev' on this line

This seems to be the culprit.

I had a similar problem solved here

 

I think there is something about USB high speed pooling and DCS core utilization at the same time. Try removing all gaming peripherals and replace with a simple cheap mouse and keyboard.

Can you please replicate the issue again and then drop a DCS log file here. Will help identify if there are common issues being experienced across these reports.

Can you drop a DCS log file here with this occurring without TrackIR.

Can you also run the Windows DxDiag tool, save the output report and drop here as well.

So i recently updated to windows 11 and the issue went away for several weeks but it just came back, I had my game freeze my whole system in the mission editor again today. This is with track IR running however, I will try replicate the issue without trackIR but in the past I have been able to get it to freeze without running trackIR I just didn't save the logs at that time as I was trying all sorts of potential fixes, and pulling my hair out. I will try and post it again if it happens without trackIR just to rule it out.

This JUST started for me yesterday. I made a lot of options changes so I need to go back and figure out what might be causing this.
