DCS multiplayer crash after last update

[Aigle2]

RTX 3080, 32Go RAM, Ryzen 7 3700X, 1To SSD. Game keeps crashing randomly in Multiplayer. Steam validation file found nothing, drivers up to date.

Any idea ?

Have you played New World any time lately?    Slight joke.

@Aigle2 It clearly looks like a memory issue ("not enough memory" message + a lot of "function-name not available" + Windows DLL crashing).

You should:

1. check your ram (with MemTest or Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool)
2. ensure your pagefile size is automatically managed by Windows
3. ensure you have at least 50 GB of free space in your pagefile drive (one of them holds the pagefile, you can check which one it is thanksto this cmd command:  wmic  pagefile list full )

Then, if everything seems in order, and only if the crashes still appear, set your pagefile size manually with these values:

• initial size: 32768 (32 Go)
• Max size: 32768 (32 Go)

@Flappie mem check in order, 68Go free space on DCS SSD drive, 32768 Go pagefile, was at 16Go already. We wil sse if increasing page file fixes the issue

No

The pagefile is not necessarily stored on the DCS drive. The command I gave you helps finding out where it's hiding. We'll get there if your crashes keep coming.

[Gumbie]

New World has destroyed a few Graphics cards the way its programed it over ramps everything for your graphics card.                                                          

 

Know this is part of your problem hope you get it straightened out thou it seems like your not only one experiencing some type of Graphics issue at this point

I'm also getting an "Out of memory" error all of a sudden in DCS MP, after playing for 6 months without a problem. Same specs and system. I'm on 16GB of RAM and 4GB of VRAM. Can run max settings, and with decent fps. And no I can't attach the logs because its 12:28am and I am writing this from my phone trying to figure out what is going on. I had page file size defaulted before, so I changed it to 10GB after the first crashes, and still the same crashes. If I only have 11GB left on my SSD (only DCS and the Windows 10 OS are on there) can I still increase my page file size to 32GB?

[Flappie]

Chances are your "Out of memory" crashes are caused by the lack of free space on your SSD. If you have only one drive, look no further. If you have several drives, you can run this command in a "cmd" windows to determine which drive your pagefile is stored on:

wmic pagefile list /format:list

[silverdevil]

another tip is to download and install WINDIRSTAT and run on the drive that has the pagefile. this is completely free program located at http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/ there are a few to several TEMP folders that can be safely emptied to gain space. once you run WINDIRSTAT you will be able to expand the results to find those folders. however windows and newer apps are much better managers of their debris left behind and this trick is not as useful as it was in the past.

Ohh ok, so can I run my page file on my HDD? (Its a 2TB drive so I have tons of space). Unfortunately I can't put DCS on my HDD or it runs like absolute sh*t, but I'll try to clear as much space as possible from my SSD, and run the command you recommended. I have been talking to ED support and honestly this one post has been more helpful than the 12 hours they have been telling me spend money rather than finding a solution.

You want your pagefile on your fastest drive, believe me. The problem is, DCS needs your fastest drive too. If you don't have two SSDs, you need enough room on the one you have to store Windows, your pagefile, and DCS. Not to forget you need to leave some free space to let it breathe (40 GB is a good idea).

to be honest, we answered you within 20 minutes, regarding the page file on the disk, you said that you did not want to place it there. It is always best to have more RAM rather than using a page file to avoid ruining your SSD. In other technical support, they may respond for 3-7 days and no one is worried about it. Good luck and take care.
