DCS BS 1.0.2 - Simulator.exe-Crash without Log


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hellas,

I'm encountering a misbehaving simulator.exe.

OS: Win 7 x64, Admin, UAC is off. System Specifications > Signature.

BS fresh install (was previously installed on the system, but cleaned up a few weeks ago). Launcher running fine, initiating a mission -> no mission loading screen, instead instantly a windows-crash-report; after choosing "close program", I'm getting the debriefing-screen.

Patched to 1.0.2: Same result and behavior.

In the temp-folder, there isn't any error- or crash.log created at any time.

DirectX is on actual level, did a reinstall with the june-2010-redistributable.

Reinstall BS after uninstalling and cleaning the system: same behavior.

GPU-Driver on 257.21, so it's on nearly actual level.

System is patched regularly and up-to-date.

Simoultanously installed is FC2.

Installation is on C:\Spiele\Ka-50\.

TrackIR and Thrustmaster Cougar installed (recently tried the TARGET-Software of Thrustmaster, but cleaned it up soon - awful...)

 

Anyone any idea of analysing the behavior? Don't want do an OS-reinstall, I'm totally shirty of that idea at the moment...

Thanks in advance.

There's no "Overkill". There's only "open fire!" and "time to reload".

You've done most of the things I would have suggested for you.

All I can do is to toss a few more ideas for you:

- Two or three graphics adapters? - not sure how well DCS manages the situation. Perhaps try with one only?

- Got any Errors from the crash in the Event Viewer?

See post #4 for tips: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=738777&postcount=4

- Tried without any devices connected? (And profiler software). Disconnect everything.

- Tried shutting down your antivirus?

- I remember when ArmA had issues regarding 12gb computers - not sure how this is with DCS 1.0.2. Last resort, perhaps take out a couple of the mem-sticks and try with 6gb?

- FC2 is working? If so, very strange - basicly the same game-engine in both, shouldn't behave differently.

- And not modified any of the files in DCS:BS at all? Not even the controller-config? It's a desperate measure - but at least test with a *super*-clean install, to elimiate any problems with file-changes.

SLI-System, 2x GTX480. DCS would manage, it had done it before, as it has with the 12Gig... (taking out a couple isn't an option, as it's all integrated in the cooling circuit and atm I can't drain the circuit)

Tested it with a super-clean install and without anything but my mouse coonected also allready. Same for av completly down.

FC2 is working fine.

 

Eventviewer is totally empty - no crash reported, nothing... thats the misterious thing - it seem's like the sim-exe has just the opinion "I don't wanna fly" and leaves the base directly at the gates allready.

 

 

SOLVED (appending this because I was in writing the post while testing around xD):

I'd gone through my analogue system log I'm writing by hand, where bigger changes are noted. My eye felt on WindowBlinds... That's an uhm... a Make-Up-programm for Windows I'd tested a few days before. By setting the "Deactivate Desktopstyles" and "deactivate visual designs" on the compatibility tab off the simulator.exe, I got it running, even without having to kick WindowBlinds away. So - Problem solved - if anyone encounters strange behavior, try setting this modes! Big thanks for help anyway, Panzertard.

:thumbup: You just solved another case with similar issues - WindowsBlinds is the mega-culprit.

Thank you for updating us! :)
