DCS crash on every explosion

[NoName_2002]

Hi,

My DCS is crashing every time explosion appears. Game runs 90fps (max fps locked). First I thought better smoke mod (v22) is causing the problem, but this is not the case. I disabled all mods, ran files integrity test, cleanup fxo and metashaders2 folders, reinstalled graphics drivers and nothing helps. I have no idea what is wrong. I really doesn't want to reinstall DCS (770GB!). I uploaded log and dxdiag files. Maybe someone had this problem previously and has the solution. Thanks for help in advance.

I dropped your log file into the DCS log analyzer. It’s identified the crash as being a GPU related issue. Reinstall your GPU drivers. In addition to this make sure any overclocks have been removed from your GPU.

This log file still shows a large number of mods installed. Reinstall clean GPU drivers using DDU to remove all traces of old drivers first. If the latest driver still has issues you could try rolling back to 566.36 Remove you mods and run a slow repair, replicate the issue again if it still occurs and drop a new log.

Do you use Better Smoke V22 mod perhaps?

I ran DCS file integrity test AFTER I removed mods, reinstall AMD Chipset driver and everythink works fine. Seems like better smoke v22 really caused the problem and deleting this mod leaves some files anyway in DCS main folder. Thanks for Your help.
