DCS_World_release_en_1.2.2.7570_69: crashes to Win XP SP3 desktop

[intographics]

Hi to all,

 

I gladly purchased the pre-beta release of the L.O.M.A.C. Flaming Cliffs 3 online. :thumbup:

Lock On (release 1) is already installed and I have installed the DCS succesfully by the given instructions.

 

[DCS_World_release_en_1.2.2.7570_69.exe]

[DCS_World_release_en_1.2.2.7570_69-1]

[DCS_World_release_en_1.2.2.7570_69-2]

[DCS_World_release_en_1.2.2.7570_69-3]

 

And: FC3_release_en_1.2.2.7570_69.exe; even succesfull. :thumbup:

 

But when i want to get airborne the application crashes to the desktop after the startupscreen. :(

 

I have added an image with several screendumps. Maybe anyone can help me on this one..

My system is: Intel P4 3,2 Ghz | Win XP SP3 2003 | NVidia Geforce 6200 | 2 GB MEM.

 

Thanks in advantage.

Are you able to fly the Su-25T that comes with DCSW?

[Mustang]

As you're on a 32bit operating system you'll have to enable the 3gb switch in XP

going to a 64bit version of windows will resolve this problem (and having more than 2gb of system RAM will help matters too)

[sobek]

Hmm, i'm sorry, but it seems that you are below minimum system requirements:

 

Minimum system requirements: Operating system: Windows XP, Vista or 7; Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz; Memory: 3 GB; Free hard disk space: 7 GB; Video: 512 MB RAM card, DirectX 9 - compatible; Sound: DirectX 9.0c - compatible; requires internet activation.

 

You might be able to somehow remedy that you are 1Gb short of RAM, but the 256Mb of vRAM put you in a very bad spot.

 

After all, that GPU of yours is almost 9 years old.

[intographics]

Hi Leafer and Mustang,

 

Thanks for the fast reply! :)

 

I'm going to try the Su-25T and the edit in boot.ini.

 

Thanks!

[intographics]

Hi,

 

I've edited the boot.ini file;

 

[boot loader]

timeout=30

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional 3GB" /noexecute=optin /3GB /fastdetect

 

On startup i can choose the 3GB option but it made no difference. :(

 

Maybe the os "Windows 7" might be a better option?

I doubt that it will work, your graphics card simply has *very* little vRAM. Windows 7 has replaced XP as the standard OS for gaming in a windows context, so there's nothing wrong with getting it, however given your hardware, i doubt that it will make any difference.

[Steph]

Add 2GB de ram to O.S win sp3 , and change graphic card : try with Gforce 250 GTS 1g ram.

You DO NOT meet the System requirements:

 

Operating system: 64 bit Windows XP, Vista or 7; Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz; Memory: 4 GB; Free hard disk space: 7 GB; Video: 512 MB RAM card, DirectX 9-compatible; Sound: DirectX 9.0c - compatible; requires internet activation

 

CPU: Single Threaded, FAIL, Need Dual Thread or Better

RAM: 2GB, FAIL, Need 4 GB or Better

VRAM: 256 MB, FAIL, Need 512MB or Better

[sobek]

CPU: Single Threaded, FAIL, Need Dual Thread or Better

 

For the sake of accuracy, that is not true.

 

DCS can theoretically run on a single core CPU just fine, the problem is that the last generation that actually featured single cores is so old that the processing power of that single core will not give satisfactory performance. If you were to deactivate 3 cores of an up to date quad core, it could still run current DCS.

 

The CPU of the OP is however below minimum specs, but not due to being single core architecture.

[schroedi]

I had a similar issue. Try to make all graphic settings to the lowest possible and try to start. If it works increase one graphic feature and try again. A single one of them can make contineous problems.

[intographics]

Hi,

 

With all settings to 'low' (in options) DCS launches but the games freezes.

 

I've copied the .logs content;

I'd better;

- install Windows 7

- new Video Card -> Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 (4 GB) (first ask my wife though..)

- add more RAM to my system -> 4 GB

 

I'll keep you all informed and thanks for all replies!

intographics, I just replaced my HD4670 so if you can't afford a new card, I'll send you mine if shipping isn't too expensive.

[BRooDJeRo]

Make sure the wife will scream for 64BIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!

 

Im afraid youre looking at at CPU, Mainboard, RAM and grafics overhaul as well as the OS unfortunatly.

 

Good luck with the wife.

Hi Leafer and Mustang,

 

Thanks for the fast reply! :)

 

I'm going to try the Su-25T and the edit in boot.ini.

 

Thanks!

 

At the end of the day , keep tryin , the end result is beyond what you think !!!

[intographics]

Hi all,

 

I talked to the wife and i've (we :doh:) decided to upgrade my PC - Pentium 4 CPU 3.2 Ghz.

 

My wishlist so far;

 

- Windows 8 (did the Microsoft compatibility check and succeeded)

- Geforce-gtx-650-2GB (132 euro)

http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/319983/evga-geforce-gtx-650-2gb/specificaties/

- add RAM 2Gb to 4 Gb

 

I hope to get airborne in D.C.S. World and Flaming Cliffs 3 soon on this setup!

 

So my question to you; what do you think of this upgrade? Worth it? :noexpression:

Thanks for the replies.

Jan Willem

[genbrien]

pretty sure the Nvidia GTX650 will be bottlenecked by the Pentium4, the old motherboard and the ddr2 ram.... and sata1/IDE hdd....

plus do you have a powersuplly that will be able to handle the GTX650? will it fit in your case?

 

oh, and don't forget to take a 64bit OS
