DCS 1.5.4 Crash on joining MP

Post by Woop » Sat Sep 10, 2016 1:48 pm

Hello there,

I'm getting a crash to desktop every time I join a MP server. I've tried most of the open ones that appear in the server list, all to no avail.

Happens like so: I join the server, it loads up OK and once done, it shows me a map. No interaction on the map and as soon as I get a few clicks in, the application freezes up and stops responding, prompting me to close it.

.log file located here: C:\Users"MyPCName"\Saved Games\DCS\Logs
Can be found here:

I am running Windows 7 and running the game in admin mode. I have downloaded the free version of DCS. First time trying this sim.

:salute:

Kind Regards
S.

Yea, DCS is fucked up like that.
To successfully join you must not touch any keys buttons or whatnot, you must not look at the loading screen, you must not think about DCS at this time, you must also scratch your balls twice for luck until you will be on aircraft selection window.

No joking here, dont touch anything until you can choose aircraft. Loading some quick missions (SP) first and than joining MP helps me too.

I had been telling Hitler for over a year, since my first flight in an Me-262, that only Focke Wulf Fw-190 fighter production should continue in conventional aircraft, to discontinue the Me-109, which was outdated, and to focus on building a massive jet-fighter force. - Galland
Any idiot could fly a Spitfire, but it took a lot of training to fly a 109. - Gerald Stapleton

I keep a session of Solitaire running and play that after I click "Join". I play until I hear aircraft in the background... I usually get through at least one, maybe two full games.
