My DCS is unstable

[RnGRamen85]

So whenever I try and fly in single player, the fps is always unstable/low and my game will randomly quit out which in turn crashes my computer. this is very frustrating and I was wondering if there is a fix to this or possibly others are having the same problem. these crahes make it impossible to actually play the game.

 

note,

my pc specs

 

CPU- 3570k

RAM- 8gb or 1866 g.skill

GPU- 2x GTX 670

hard drive- Caviar Black

Flight Stick- Saitek X52

 

thanks

Sounds more like there's other software running that is causing conflict. I'm using an AMD Phenom 955 BE, 8GB ram, Radeon 5770HD@ 1920x1080 and I have yet to have a crash. FPS isn't always awesome, but it's ok.

its sounds to me like its either 32bit OS, or virtual memory issues.

I can't imagine that single caviar platter is helping either... OP- it isn't a solution to your crashing but that's your next upgrade! SSD.

 

As for the crashing... like the guys have already said: You've left next to nothing for us to go off.

ok so where would i get these crash files? I might have misworded it a little bit, it is more of a black screen(on both monitors i mind you[well when it happened chrome had it's outline but that was it])and I left it for about 10 minutes then i just reset my computer

 

one thing that could be happening is windows could be giving me the annoying "your computer is running slow would you like to change to basic" thing... I have tried and failed to make that window stop coming up

 

note I do not know what my current build is, where would I find out, and I just have the most recent one it was released just a week ago i believe.

 

Thank you all for the help so far, this is what makes a good game great :D

Are you running a 32bit operating system I guess would be the first question- judging by the fact you're running 8 gigs of RAM I'm assuming you're 64bit.

 

If you didn't go out of your way to actively download the 1.2.7 beta- then you're running the latest build of 1.2.6.

 

If you're running dual monitors there can be a few different things going on. I'm not a dual monitor guy so one of them will need to step in.

 

Your crash logs will be in your User / saved games / DCS / Logs folder. You'll see a bunch of .crash and .dmp files with date and time stamps. You'd need to zip those up and post them.

 

Have you recently changed any of your monitor settings?

I tried to do this but i was unable to... while I was trying to in the instant action f-15c interception, I deployed flares and then the game sorta reloaded then just stayed black so i had to reset my computer... Ctrl alt delete did nothing :/

here are my crash logs

I'm running 64 bit

 

I dont believe the multiple monitors have anything to do with it... just that it seems to "reload" the game kinda like if you tab out then tab back in... also im getting weird pauses when flying where it will just pause like lag then catch up farther ahead this makes doing anything a pain.

to get your dxdiag

 

 

once you have run dxdiag you will see the option to save information, then attach it to a post here.

If you mean the Chrome Browser... why would you be running that as well as the sim ? which begs the question; what else have you got running?

I had the f-15c manual open(the radar is confusing me) also i have avast and malwarebytes running, as well as steam, origin, uplay, uttorent, other driver software and that's about it

[ShuRugal]

your page file is absolutely enormous. why?

screen shot is nice, but seeing the full dxdiag is even better, when you go to post scroll down and you will see the manage attachments. Just browse to the dxdiag and upload it.

Also a little bit of advice, to get the best out of any game you should have as few back ground applications running as possible.

Try setting you page file to windows controlled and see how that works for you.

 

I think you are running out of Mem. windows has things working under the hood (things you can not manipulate) that maintains the Operating System when actual mem. is low. It follows an instruction set that is not present under your current page file setting.
