I just started getting this today too. It had been at least a week since I played DCS or opened Meta Quest software, and I think it did an update 8 days ago. Program always crashes on startup, shows the Nvidia splash screen, then DCS splash screen, then crashes. Faulting application name: DCS.exe, version: 2.9.3.51704, time stamp: 0x65d64608 Faulting module name: edCore.dll, version: 2.9.3.51704, time stamp: 0x65d3ca07 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000007354 Faulting process id: 0x0x2410 Faulting application start time: 0x0x1DA858FBE11D2F4 Faulting application path: D:\DCSWorldOB\bin-mt\DCS.exe Faulting module path: D:\DCSWorldOB\bin-mt\edCore.dll Report Id: eb1643df-3a2e-4198-8be1-efb22c2ba67a Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

I have this problem too, with no fix. Nothing I've done on my side resolves it. I thought it was firewall rules, but it turns out it's something out their system that doesn't seem to be handling the browser list.

I have my firewall set to block certain countries, including Russia and China, so that clients can't complete outbound traffic. This is intentional, in case a computer gets infected and wants to dial home to a command and control node. I had no issues about 24 hours ago, and this just started today. I haven't had any issues previously in DCS. For example, I was on different US and EU servers in the last few months and there were never problems, nor any problems with the browser. My firewall determines the countries of IPs and blocks them. For example 27.191.71.143 is in China, as is 36.150.108.238 and 1.117.207.19. As far as that part is concerned, this is fine, if the computer can't connect to those servers. What happens is that the browser starts to populate for the first time and then becomes unresponsive. Not every server in permitted regions load either. It seems that the browser list downloads part of it and then stalls forever. I click either Exit or the X at the top, but nothing happens. If I click the refresh button, nothing happens either. I restarted DCS a few times and the issue seemed to go away, but it was still broken. The only was to get out of DCS each time was to use Task Manager, as the program would not do anything I clicked on. The only way I can proceed with using the game is disabling my geoblocking firewall rules.w

This issue occurred again today and doesn't appear to be fixed. Just got shot down without any RWR warning. The whole time I was only spiked by the Mig-31. Curiously enough, the radar did show something incoming...perhaps TWS actually picked up the missile, but I died shortly thereafter.

Hello, I have posted about this bug before, but the Mig-31, when it launches the R-33 missile gives a Tomcat a launch warning between 15-30% of the time. The missile is a Fox-1 missile that is SARH. For all other planes besides the Tomcat, this missile gives a launch warning. For the Tomcat, it gives a lock warning on the RWR--70-85% of the time. This means that the vast majority of the time it's impossible to tell if a Mig-31 with its Phoenix-like missile is launching on you. Because it's also possible that the Mig-31 only has R-40 missiles, which do always give launch warnings. This makes it impossible to determine what kind of missile, if any, a Mig-31 has fired at a player unless that player knows what was fired at him ahead of time.

Hello, This error occurs 100% of the time when on a carrier - no need for a track. This occurs in both single and multiplayer. The only time it does not is when the plane is connected to the catapult after pressing the default "U" key. This affects more than one jet on the carrier, at present I have only tested with the Hornet and F-14 B. I don't know if it affects AI, as I have only seen players. I believe it affects all players on the deck in MP, but it has been a while since I have been on a carrier in MP. The bug is that planes slide forward or backward very slowly. The easest way to replicate is start a game in SP on the deck of the carrier and then speed up time. I believe it affects planes that are freshly spawned, although it MAY require the plane to have begun taxiing. I have not tested on the Su-33 / Admiral K. The net effect is that planes will eventually either slide into each other, the superstructure, or off the deck over time.

Hello, I play using the HP Reverb on a system with 64 GB of RAM, a 2080 Ti and a 8600k. The problem only occurs when increasing textures to high, both world and cockpit. This problem has only occurred since the last patch or two. If textures are set to Medium for cockpit and Low for world, this issue doesn't happen even after about 4 hours of play (the longest I have played for and tested). This problem occurs in both SP and MP and seems to happen more often when changing maps from Caucus to PG or when changing planes a lot. The end result is that FPS goes down to and stays at 20 FPS until DCS is restarted. Leaving a game or restarting a game (SP or MP) has no effect. It seems that the FPS isn't so much low as the frame latency is extremely high, over 100 ms per frame. Its occurrence is random in terms of temporality, but it has never happened sooner than 30 minutes and never longer than 2 hours before happening.

Hello, The F-14 does not always (about 70% of the time) get a missile launch radar tone from the AI Mig-31 when it launches an R-33. The tone we get from the RWR is only the Spike/Lock on tone. This only seems to apply to the R-33 missile. This leads to many deaths with Tomcat pilots and has lead to the now-common adage that "if a Mig-31 is locking you, just assume an R-33 is on its way". I have a track file from Persian Gulf at war, it's 123 Mb uncompressed, however and includes a significant amount of flight time in an F-16C. Let me know if you want it. I also have a Tacview from the same time.

I got shot down today in MP on the GAW server. After respawning, the right engine of the Tomcat won't crank. Switching planes made no difference. This was an old bug from a while ago, I recall. I was using autopilot and turned it off, but the plane would only make delayed responses to pulling back on the stick. I would have to pull back extra hard to get the nose to move. I tried turning the autopilot on and off several times and it make no difference.

My game crashes when in the Tomcat for more than 20 minutes. Right to desktop, never happened before.

I had this same problem. The resolution was to leave the server and join again. This seems to happen very rarely. The time it did happen, I left the server and started an SP mission and was still able to start the engine. In the maybe 40-50 times I've had to respawn this has only happened once.

I keep getting BRA calls from Magic, but my D/L is on and almost never shows the enemy. I keep asking for bogey dope and it sees him. I don't get what the deal is with this. And why in the name of God is the Mig-15 more maneuverable and powerful than a Hornet? In my Tacview I see see the Mig-15 in a climb for 4,000 feet from 9500 to 13500 and it GAINS speed. Wtf is this?

This makes the Hornet look like the F-16C (screenshots below). Download from DCS: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302716/ For those who want to make the F-15C look like the F-15E Strike Eagle, I did a simple reskin: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3302718/
