Game Crashes and hangs at world preload 1/60

I'm highly disappointed,

Before the update, it was running smooth with or without overclocking (w or w/o VR). Now, it's unplayable. Here are my steps I've taken (Non-VR):

*Step One*

-Update BIOS/Hardware/Software drivers

-Update graphics card drivers

-Latest Windows Update

-Latest Steam and DCS World update

-Verify integrity files (Both Windows and DCS)

-Restart & try again (Didn't Work)

*Step Two*

-Turned off overclocking on both CPU & GPU & E-Cores on BIOS (after I've read the first part of the dcs.log)

-Turned off HDR

-Turned off firewall, virus protection, and security control.

-Power set to performance

-No other apps while playing STEAM

-Cleanup all files and logs

-Restart & try again (Didn't Work)

*Step Three*

-Lowered all settings much as possible

-Restart & retry again (Didn't Work)

After trying to troubleshoot for four hours, DCS World is still unplayable. Therefore I tossed the towel and decide it's time for me to depart. Attached is the log.

You have exactly 0 pagefile, which is bad.

Either let Windows decide the size of the pagefile ("Auto" setting) or manually set a pagefile of 16GB or 32GB. Use this guide.
