screen freezing in game

[acedj]

hi all

having some problems with graphics and fps.

when i am in flight at best i hit 22 fps av 12/13 fps lowest 0 {free flight}.

i am also getting screen freeze yet i can still hear the game in the background,when move the throttle i can hear the engines going up and down and hear audio warnings and so on.

so the game still seems to be running in the background ok just my screen has frozen?.

i currently have only 2gb of ram (dont know if thats the cause of it)

anyone having similer problems?

thanks dj

I see you're running WinXP 32bit, you could try this fix, it solves alot of issues with that OS and DCS WH:

Can you try top produce a short track (<1min) where this problem occurs? I would like to try to replicate it myself. Also what are your settings in DCS?

Ahh OK I didn't realise it was a full freeze. Sounds like a graphics driver problem or overheating maybe?

 

Anyway the Logs and tracks have been moved in release, though I don't know where for XP. You could start and finish a mission quickly then use windows search to find. I'm not sure a track would record this anyway. If you could post DCS.log from a mission that does this, it may show something, but I doubt it.
