DCS crashes every time on World preload 1/60

[marz]

i dont know what to do ive tried so many things to fix this issue. dcs started crashing after i bought the f16 yesterday it worked fine before that i check my crash logs and this is what i found

DxDiag Previously: Crashed in system information (stage 1). Re-running DxDiag with "dontskip" command line parameter or choosing not to bypass information gathering when prompted might result in DxDiag successfully obtaining this information

Some basic steps that you can try.

Do a fIle integrity check. Make sure your antivirus isn't somehow blocking any DCS files. Create an exception for the DCS main and "saved games" folders in your antivirus software.

Also delete "fxo" and "metashaders" folders. You'll find them in your personal folder under "saved games / dcs". Check drivers and make sure they are up 2 date.

Some maps / missions prefer more ram, it's always best in DCS to have a minimum of 32GB or enough hard disk to run a big enough page file.

Besides that make sure you're not running any mods that could potentially cause a crash.

Good Day, I had this same issue when I did a system clean and reinstall. I accidentally installed DCS on a hard drive. It needs to be on an SSD, double check to make sure you don't have any DLC or DCS installed on a HDD. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much i will check that right now!

DCS works fine off HDD providing your system isn't 15 years old with a 1MB graphics card and 1GB of memory, It can on heavy usage cause stuttering but there are are plenty of people still using HDD to run DCS.

It's recommended to use an SSD as they read and write faster, it's not mandatory.

Works fine on HDD, at least in the past it did.
Now when it worked fine and then suddenly no more something must've changed. Maybe indeed corrupted files or so, in any case a full cleanup + reinstall won't do any harm...

After the recent update to DCS i am unable to play the game anymore... It keeps crashing no matter what plane i choose or map on the loading screen, no error message or anything, on world load 2/60 it just goes black and closes the game. Before the update this had never happened before. I have tried repairing the game, i have tried re-installing the whole game and still the same... Something changed in the latest update. I have no mods or anything unofficial installed.

What are your specs ?

[marz]

Core i5 geforce 1950 gtx 16 gb of ram

[Troll Norris]

GeForce 1950 GTX does not exist.
If you mean GTX 1050 - it is very slow GPU for nowday standard. It have too low VRAM.
