Krizzo Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Hello, I got following issues: Random crashes to desktop while in game. Facts: Steam version of build 39384 Crash only in 3D game, not in menu Not reproduceable, can happen after 3 min or after 40 min Can happen with any aircraft and map module Seems to happen with any graphics settings on any resolution What I already did: I updated the Nvidia drivers to the latest version but still the crashes occur. I completely uninstalled the drivers, I didn't use update nor did I install over the old driver. Verified integrity of game files. Uninstalled any mods. Uninstalled DCS completely and re-installed it. Deleted DCS folder in "My Games". Reset the overclocking on graphics card and CPU. I once reverted to an older Nvidia driver, I can't remember which one, problem still occured. Now I'm on the latest driver again. My specs: GTX 1080, driver 441.20 ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 motherboard i7 4790K 16 GB RAM The log files are attached, I don't know how to read them. Tanks for any help, regardsLogs.rar Edited November 16, 2019 by Krizzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Bruna Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I have always been told to not use the Steam version because it always has problems. Try going to the website and downloading the game from there. Most people download and play on the DCS Open beta version because it gets all the newest updates first. Not saying it will work, but is seems that you have tried a good bit of trouble shooting. Will not hurt to do it this way to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krizzo Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Still no luck, the crashes also happen in standalone version without any overclock. I contacted support, but maybe here is someone who had similar problems with Nvidia drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadg Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 if you want a random thing to try that fixed my crashes to desktop, then check your windows pagefile. make sure it is not left to windows to set automatically. try setting it manually to the same size as your RAM. I was running with no pagefile. started getting out of memory errors. changed to windows managed and got random crashes to desktop but it was happening at a similar time to when I was getting the out of memory errors. so I upped the pagefile size to the size of my RAM. crashes went away. I have a 1080 and 16gb of ram. My Rig: AM5 7950X, 32GB DDR5 6000, M2 SSD, EVGA 1080 Superclocked, Warthog Throttle and Stick, MFG Crosswinds, Oculus Rift.
