Spinning hourglass of death

[Smokin1469]

So, my game's not crashing and I'm not getting any messages, I just get lots of pauses in the game with the spinning hourglass in the corner, like it's buffering or something.  Only play single player so I don't think it's a WIFI issue.  RAM problem maybe?  I've got 32 GB of RAM.  Thoughts?

I'm willing to bet your motherboard only supports even RAM values.

I'm sorry, I'm just kidding. Can you post your DCS.log? You find it under "Saved Games\DCS\logs" if you only see a DCS file, it's because file types are hidden. Just turn on file types if so, and drag and drop it here. Might need to adjust your swap file to 32768MB, and/or turn off auto scan for devices, among other tips.

Cheers!

Opened up the most recent log and it starts with a warning that I have parked logical cores.  I assume that points to the problem?   I see some have turned to Bitsum to fix.  Is that the best one to use?

There is a video of how to turn off core parking on youtube, have to go through registry...Once its done, its done and helped my stuttering for sure...Until a Windows Update, I have had it reset to default on once or twice...so just go back and do it again if so...

Drop your log here, or just go directly to the DCS log analyzer as you likely have more problems than just that.

Downloaded Bitsum, turned off core parking, and everything seems to be working fine so far!!
