RyanJMcGowan Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 See attached image with a stack trace that appeared on a popup modal. This popup occurred only once. Machine specs: Version 2.5.6. Windows 10 64-bit i7 -8700 32 GB Ram Dual Displays 1920x1080 NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti Steps to error: Opened DCS > Training > Anti-Radar Missiles, RWR and Countermeasures. During opening, Windows informed that the application is not responding. I selected Wait for DCS. All training missions and instant actions seem to be an issue. This behavior is consistent and stops at precisely the same point (caucasusafbbuildings_new.ref) during loading. A full repair was completed to no effect. Other information: I noticed in the dxdiag file this line: Problem signature: P1: s3browser-con.exe I don't know if DCS uses s3browser to send data to a bucket, or if it's my installation because I use it as well. If DCS uses it, I wonder if there exists a key configuration conflict. A crash report was also sent today at 1:54 pm PST for this issue. Hash: 08ab5ce768116bcfea945898a49cbad5 Also, DCS often hangs on the startup screen on both of my machines. Possibly related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lange_666 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Lots of shader errors these last few days (so you're not alone). Did you update to the latest "preview" of Windows 10? Did you try to remove the fxo and metashaders2 directory's in your Saved Games\DCS folder and let them rebuild?

Ohioflyer15 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Lange, I have the same issue and I did update to the latest preview... I started another thread possibly pointing the finger at that with logs etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanJMcGowan Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I will update to Windows with all optional updates at the end of the day, try again, and upload a new zip. If that doesn't work, I'll try the Windows Preview edition. Edited February 25, 2021 by RyanJMcGowan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked this because i did read this over at ghack's.net a couple of days ago. I have the preview in my downloadcue and it stays there until further notice.

exil Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Same problem here. DCS crashes after a couple of minutes (1-4) ingame. I did a complete fresh install with no luck. Also, my Metashaders in my saved games folder are not building up. It is completly empty! Hope there is some fix for it soon! dcs.log-20210226-200218.zip Edited February 26, 2021 by exil Attached LogFile GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - 64Gb RAM - Win11 - HP Reverb G1 - Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS (40cm extension) - VKB Sim T-Rudder MKIV Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Hi @exil. Your crash symptom ("DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED") is very different from the one this thread is about . Please read this post and try the different solutions. If you keep having the same kind of crash after this, please create a new thread. By the way, metashaders2 folder is often empty when you're not playing. This is perfectly normal (my folder is currently empty as well).

I thought it would be the same problem because of the Metashaders being empty.

RyanJMcGowan Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I ran upgrade and it works now. I thought I had done this already, but that was apparently on my laptop, not the culprit PC. Thank you for looking into it. The issue is resolved.
