DCS: World crashes upon startup

[FighterPilotCharles]

Hello everyone! Long time DCS user and fan here! I recently came back to the States with my laptop erased because it was stolen. Before I left, DCS ran fine, but now with several clean downloads and installs, it will crash as soon as it starts. The command prompt will appear, but it say DCS has stopped working. I have been having this problem for a while now. If anyone can help me to fly again, I would be indebted to you. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please tell me what to do.

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you installed VC++ redist 2008 and 2010?

[BigfootMSR]

We can certainly try and help you, but we need more information,

 

What are your system specs? Operating system? Can you attach the DCS logs? 64bit or 32?

Yes, I installed them both, I opted for them when I installed DCS: World.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, it is activated. It has Service Pack 1.

Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.70 GHz

Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.47 GB usable)

System Type: 64 bit operating system.

I know my specs are low, but I never had trouble running the game before I left, or it got erased. In fact I never even had this problem. I will go search for the logs and get back with those promptly!

I am not sure how to attach a file, so I have copy and pasted my two failed launches from tonight. Here they are:

Thanks again for your quick reply, and thanks for any help!

[BIGNEWY]

Have you double checked your OS is fully updated and your chipset has installed the latest driver.

 

I am no expert but it Looks to me like a graphics render issue.

 

good luck with finding a fix :)

I have Windows 7 Ultimate, it is activated. It has Service Pack 1.

Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.70 GHz

Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.47 GB usable)

System Type: 64 bit operating system.

I know my specs are low, but I never had trouble running the game before I left, or it got erased. In fact I never even had this problem. I will go search for the logs and get back with those promptly!

 

The errors you get shows a direction towards graphic routines, but my bet is that it is cause you get low on memory either main or GPU. I have a feeling 1.2.5 demands a llittle more mem. Also make sure you have efficient and correctly sized Pagefile. Also Clean out you temp files before testing.

Found his problem through teamviewer - his graphics driver wasn't installed xD

[Peter Piper]

This might help, as it worked for me
