1.5.6 Crashes


Recommended Posts

Old version of DCS... I can't upgrade to 2.5 because no funds for a super computer

Nevertheless I'm hoping someone could help me or if people experienced this back in the 1.5 days..

 

====

 

This just started today.. for some reason DCS 1.5.6 keeps crashing shortly after loading a given mission. Strange pixels/squares start to appear first... then followed by the crash...

 

First time it happened, I remember reading some kind of Kernel Error something message in Windows menu...

For some reason that message no longer appears.. but then still a constant Crash.

 

Thanks.

 

My specs:

i5-3470 @ 3.30

RAM 16GB

500GB HDD

GTX760 2GB OC

Windows 8.1

As you know older versions are unsupported, however it looks like a display driver crash.

 

try cleaning your display driver with DDU and installing a fresh driver

I see, I'm not familiar with Display Drivers stuff as I'm afraid messing up very important files..

 

Is there a version of that DDU thing for the GTX760?

I use it all the time for fresh drivers

once it has cleaned you just head over to NVIDIA and download their latest driver for your card

-Bignewy: Thanks for the assist anyways.. I just had my PC checked by a technician today... turns out my GTX760 is already busted..

 

Anyways im going to get my rig back. I'll just backup all of my files including the DCS Stuff i have..

 

Since my MOBO is an old H61ME the current graphic card lines on the market wont be compatible.. or so the technician says..

 

I might as well get a rig ready for DCS 2.5

 

What are the ideal specs or stuff again..?

 

..and do video cards only last for 4 years or so?

I got my 760 back in 2014.. I always thought gaming hardware are rugged and have longer service lives than ordinary cards..

I kinda asked some Shops here selling computer parts..

 

So with that kind of setup.. 2500 US dollars is the estimated cost?

 

130,000+ pesos in our country..

 

i find it... ridiculous. I might as well forget DCS all together and find a new hobby..
