JASP-ERIK73 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) hi there i have the same issue stuck at " net sim post start " with the update of patch with the Hind wich I pre ordered & was willing to try, on other han i have noticed that my "caps" does not work too Meaning I cant type with capital letters Did you fix it with the router reeboot? So suddenly caps worked again, maybe it is because I was in middle of the loading to MP server ( weird, inst it ? ) Edited June 18, 2021 by JASP-ERIK73 added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-0303- Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 I got in twice today. Earlier and just now. Did not recycle router. Maybe it was something temporary, maybe connected to the patch, I'll find out.

Flappie Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 If the game shut down on its own, you should have interesting logs.

Flappie Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 An X52 blocking the game. That rings a bell. Please try this solution: By the way, do you have the iCUE app installed? If so, and if the X52 solution above doesn't work, try uninstalling iCUE. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

JASP-ERIK73 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I am not very smart for hardware stuff, I beg you pardon in advance. My X52 is not the "pro" so I was wondering in my case what to do , I checked my calibration & it was by default. On other hand I dont know what does iCUE is for or where to fid it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If you don't own a Corsair USB device, chances are you don't have iCUE installed. It seems the dcs.log file you posted earlier doesn't show your issue. Can you please reproduce your issue and then attach again your dcs.log file?

-0303- Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) It's a thing. "Net Sim Post Start", stuck three times in a row just now. (Aerobatics Online) Recycled router once. Then got in twice.

Sile Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) I sometimes get these NET SIM POST START crashes or freezes for minutes too and know of some other guys in the ED Discord who got the errors in the last months as well. (Search for "net sim post start" in the Discord.) Here is another post. When it happens the bar freezes for about 1 min at "Net Sim Post Start" before crashing. My whole 32 GB RAM is full when i check memory allocation, then. What i observed: It's sporadic and when it's the case that it crashes it's reproducibly only on a certain server that is not empty. Never happened on an empty server, yet. Trying other servers -> work. Single player -> works. Back to the server that causes crashing -> crash. Same server, but restarted mission -> works. or same server, SAME mission no players on the server anymore -> works. The error is hard to reproduce, so it takes time to test possible cures, but: - clearing Shaders doesn't help. - experienced the above described freezes and crashes with various nvidia driver version. Still testing: - uninstalled Corsair iCUE since i read some people had problems with DCS and iCUE - increase the pagefile size to a fixed 32 GB.

JASP-ERIK73 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi Sile , I have noticed what you mention in your report, I can play single, or in any other server I have tried, the main problem is when joining Aerobatics Online Caucasus. It's a server very busy 40+ pilots flying there so the isue must be that... I joined it yesterdat only after starting first in single player with the "Hind" I have the feeling that Hind has something to do eith the issue... How do I get a brand new "log " to post it when fatal freeze happens? I would like to thankyou guys for the info you share , it very usefull and feels I am not alone against odds.

Whenever you start DCS, a new log gets created. It's called "dcs.log" and it's located here: C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS...\Logs\dcs.log (it may show up as "dcs").

I had a problem with DNS i could visit any web site except DCS so I had to call my internet provider for them to config the rputer with the DNS : 8.8.8.8 & DNS 8.8.4.4. That resolved it ( its the second time they have to do this) When it happens i cant even conect to the forum . Right now I have no issues to join MP but it still takes ages to connect. I would give this as resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Oh, then your issue was coming from your DNS server. For your information, they gave you the Google DNS, which works great.
