Constant crashing after several minutes (Open Beta)

Koekemoeroetoe · March 14, 2019

Hi all,

Since the last 2 Open Beta updates or so, I'm getting constant crashes after several minutes of flying. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes to crash, sometimes 20, but also sometimes as little as 2 minutes. But no matter what, crashing is imminent it seems. Doesn't matter which aircraft.

PC spec:

- Core i7 2600k at stock clocks, temperatures always <60°C

- 16gb DDR3 RAM (4x4gb)

- Gigabyte RTX 2070 Windforce 8gb

- 500gb SSD

- TM HOTAS Warthog

- TrackIR 4

- CH rudder pedals

- Windows 10 Pro

Latest drivers and Windows updates installed, no overclocks.

Tried repairing DCS installation, no succes.

Anyone else having this as well? Possible fixes?

Last 3 crashlogs attached.

If more info is needed, let me know.

Hoping someone can help me fix this, really would like to fly the Tomcat for more than 5 minutes each time...

Thanks!

Koekie

Im also seeing this, but sometimes its stable for an hour or two. Its weird. Have you tried clearing your shader cache?

Koekemoeroetoe · March 14, 2019

I did now, played for about 30 minutes, no crash. Let's hope this fixed it.

For those interested, what I did was delete the folders "fxo" and "metashaders2" from this folder: C:\users\<pc name>\saved games\DCS.openbeta

- i7-4770K 3.50GHz

There appears to be a problem with you DirectX and Video Driver interfaces, dxdiag is having trouble diagnosing.

Suggestion to fix (This is how I finally got my install to work with the latest drivers, I have been unable to get any drivers working well for over a year (re: was 388.71, now 419.17).

Download and have handy your nvidia 419.17 or 419.35 drivers for re-installation, don't use Geforce Experience.
Un-install the Nvidia drivers, You may want to use the DDU utility to remove thoroughly.
Disable your internet connection and reboot.
If running Multi-monitor setup, especially if from the Nvidia 2800ti and the MB Intel 4600 ports, disable the onboard Intel 4600 via bios if possible.
Re-Boot up system.
Disable any antivirus, Windows Defender, or other Utils (until you reboot) that may interfere with the install of video drivers.
Right click on the Nvidia driver package and (RUN as ADMINISTRATOR) and choose your preferred options.
Reboot computer after drivers installed and when you get back to your desktop, re-connect your internet connection.
Reboot once again and go into BIOS and enable the Onboard Intel 4600 GPU if disabled before and save and reboot.
Once back at the windows desktop, setup up multi-monitor the way you had it before.
Re-run DXDiag and see if the stats look better with very little unknown states or other errors with the video cards section.
Try DCS again to see if has helped with your problem.

Your Dxdiag with highlighted errors states:

DxDiag Version: 10.00.17134.0001 64bit Unicode

DxDiag Previously: Crashed in system information (stage 3) & Direct3D (stage 2) & Diagnostics (stage 1). Re-running DxDiag with "dontskip" command line parameter or choosing not to bypass information gathering when prompted might result in DxDiag successfully obtaining this information

Thanks for the attempt, Ian. I think the DxDiag problem has been solved.

But, unfortunately the problem persists. However, I've discovered that it is not exclusive to DCS. The problem occurs with other games as well. Should be something more complex, which coincided with the installation of F-14 and updates of both DCS and Windows.

Koekemoeroetoe · March 27, 2019

Small update: My crashing problem seems solved. I've had not a single crash since I deleted the Metashaders folder(s).

CHSStarKiller · March 28, 2019

What a surprise, another update, and more crashing when using ME and Missions. It's not like this isn't a persistant problem, why can we not get a fix. Only been happening since F14 install and subsequent updates

It's called open BETA for a reason.

Koekemoeroetoe · April 3, 2019

Unfortunately, since I've re-enabled the overclock on my CPU, the crashing is back. DCS is the only game that crashes with overclock (i7 2600K @4.4Ghz).

Please note that when I started this thread, I already had the overclock disabled, but the crashing didn't stop until I deleted the Metashaders folder. Gonna try with a slightly lower OC now (4.0Ghz)
