RazorbackNL Posted August 31 Posted August 31 (edited) 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?

RazorbackNL Posted August 31 Author Posted August 31 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. Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4,5Ghz | 128Gb DDR4 3200Mhz | beQuiet!

Slippa Posted August 31 Posted August 31 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
silverdevil Posted September 1 Posted September 1 @RazorbackNL & @Slippa i forgot to share a link. https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/how-to-manage-virtual-memory-on-windows-11 razor has 128 GB of RAM so the pagefile is not necessary. i have mine set to 32 GB. slippa if you have less than 64 GB RAM, add a 32 GB pagefile. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

RazorbackNL Posted 4 hours ago Author Posted 4 hours ago After setting to let Windows manage the Pagefile, today the problem of DCS being unresponsive showed up again. I have attached the latest log in case you need it. I have now set up a No Paging File since you mentioned I don't need a pagefile because of my 128Gb RAM. Let's see what happens. dcs.log Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4,5Ghz | 128Gb DDR4 3200Mhz | beQuiet!
