This crash makes me mad!

[Ned_260]

Hi guys,

 

I recently purchased DCS: P-51 and have not yet been able to play it because of this annoying crash, I double click the dcs world icon, the menu loads up fine, I select the P-51 section and go to the instant action section, choose what i want, and it loads and when it reaches 100% it just crashes without any trace it was just playing, it think this is where it is supposed to have the registration code window but nothing happens. I have tried the 32 bit fixes, reinstalls, different graphic settings, updating graphics card drivers, and all to no success. My specs are up to scratch for DCS: a-10 and black shark at rather high fps as well.

 

Any help would be appreciated, I'm really ticked off at this at the moment, having had no trouble with the great DCS games in the past.

 

Thanks, Ned

post your specs and a dxdiag , it will help the guys solve your problem, but remember it is a pre release beta :)

Obviously the obvious thing is the 32bit windows, but if you have tried the 32 bit fixes it may be something else.

 

Attach a dxdiag there may be something there that we are overlooking

[Ned_260]

I just edited my post and the dxdiag is there now.

[BIGNEWY]

Have you ensured your DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) and c++ is up to date ?

Neither of those updates worked. But thanks for the quick help :)

[BIGNEWY]

noticed in your dxdiag

DxDiag Previously: Crashed in DirectShow (stage 1)

 

I am not sure if that is significant, as the guys wake up I am sure you will get more help, in the mean time login to http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ and open a support ticket

Which version/which mission > 1.1.2.1 ?

Known bug when starting a training mission:

Problem Loading training

and this thread may relates to your problem:

Crash when loading missions

 

Do you have a Crash-log ?

cant tell you exactly where to find it in XP32 but this is it in Win7x64 :

C:\Users\>username<\Saved Games\DCS\Logs

 

 

For debugging:

Disconnect all USB devices (the web-cam too) - only let mouse and keyboard connected.

Run quickstart batumi-takeoff mission in the lowest possible settings and windowed in 1024x764 , also switch off MSAA an TSSAA.

 

and report back.

I tried the debug, didn't work and I can't find my crash log.

 

EDIT:

 

Is this the log you were looking for?

Yes I have the same problem.

Any mission I can find either from the training, generated or P51 campaign missions causes CTD when near to 100% loading. I have not had a serial no. verification window pop up yet which I believe is supposed to happen first mission.

 

Crash files and DXDiag file attached.

 

Yes my system is XP 32bit but is running in 3G mode (as in Nates sig) and can run A10C and BS2 although at poor frame rates. FC2 and BS1 run very well.

Me.log was last attempt. Crash file was made earlier with same result. No crash file has been created since this one that I can see.

In XP the location I got log files was from

C:\Documents and Settings\Pete\My Documents\My Games\DCS\Logs

 

I understand that 32 bit is a hit and miss affair but info is supplied if only to narrow down why some 32 users cannot run the sim.

Bump!

[IJG53_Kurtz]

I have exactly the same problems mentioned above by Ned_260 and RustyNuts, i also have tried the 32 bit fix with no results!

 

My system:

Intel core 2 quad Q9550 2.83GHz

3.25 GB's of RAM

nvidia geforce GTX260

windows xp 32 bit

 

Any suggestion?

[Diemos]

Stupid question, but just to be thorough...

 

 

Did you install the P-51?

 

 

It installs from its own .exe, separate from the World installer (though it does download in the same package)...

[IJG53_Kurtz]

Yes, the P-51 is correctly installed using the "P-51D_1.1.2.1.exe" after having installed DCS World... :mad:

[Diemos]

Never doubted it for a moment! :thumbup:

 

Wish I could offer more...

[Ned_260]

I just discovered that I get the same problem when I try to play A-10 through DCS: World.

A-10 normally works fine.

[Robin_Hood]

Maybe I can answer that. It seems that the 1.2.1.1 beta simply doesn't work with XP 32bits (not by design, thankfully, it is a bug). The only thing to do apart from getting a 64b is waiting for the next beta release, or try to find 1.2.1.0. This will happen with all DCS World 1.2.1.1, Su-25T, P-51D or A-10C

In your Specs. you say you have 3.2 Gigs of Ram, this is because win xp doesn't recognize the 4Gigs of Ram you realy have?

[jpr]

I too am having the same exact issues as Rustynuts above and am running Windows XP SP3. I am not getting the registration screen either. Loaded P-51 on my laptop where I am running Windows 7 64 bit and it runs fine. I can run Black Shark and A-10 with no problems. Tried XP fix and no go.
