DCS and Windows 7


Recommended Posts

I doubt its windows 7 doing it mate, it's a widely used op system. (are you 32 or 64?)

 

 

You would need to provide quite a bit more detail in an effort to get some help.

System specs, drivers, a bit more on the crash etc.

Happens to me too. Not often though and when it does it's usually on the ramp during start up. Don't know why though

ok! it starts when i play a game for an hour or 2 and then this happens. i was thinking a virus or something. it's not a crash it's like if i hit the windows desktop button(button with the windows icon on it).

I'm also 64 bit. Does it happen in other equally graphically or memory intensive games?

you have a program fighting for Cursor control running in the system tray.

 

Skype, MSNMsgr, and a bunch of other programs will fight for cursor control and randomly gain it, and when you click something it will minimize DCS.

check your temps, GPU can Overheat and the driver can recover after the GPU resets it self.

DCS is a very demanding program, like any decent flight simulator.

Ideally there should be no other program running when DCS runs.

Just close all programs before your start DCS, including those from system tray. Check with Task Manager and kill eventual stubborn programs.

Also download "SmartClose" it's a great program that shuts most unwanted background apps etc.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

 

Faster method: Ctrl-Shift-Escape. Ensures you don't have to go through the splash screen. :)

I don't like how sometimes FC3 will crash after completing the campaign mission.
