DCS World not responding

[RazorbackNL]

Hi guys,

I've got this annoying thing going on were DCS World just stops responding in the middle of a multiplayer session. Worth mentioning is that the sound is still going while the program is non responsive.

Can someone please have a look to see what might be going on?

Thanks in advance

hello

i believe i know the issue. the last message in logs

2025-08-31 19:54:08.735 ERROR   ED_SOUND (13252): render time = 1.417632s exceeded allowed slice of 0.022000s

i looked at the memory being allocated in the DCS log.

your page file is huge. i bet your disk is huffing and puffing. change the settings to a fixed amount or let windows manage the size. i have 128 GB of RAM and only have a 32 GB static page file.

Hi SilverDevil,

Thank you for digging into my problem.

I have changed the pagefile now so Windows is managing it. Gonna test it out and see how it goes. Will report back.

Thank you for your help.

I’ve had exactly the same thing happening to me. I’ve had to shut down the computer to get out of it.

Don't have a clue about pagefile sizes or how and what to mess with. I’ll keep an eye on it, good luck Razor
