Crashing

[Ashy]

Ok so lately i have had trouble with dcs crashing and teamspeak crashing out of nowhere. it only happens when i click fly whether i am in multiplayer or single player. i have narrowed it down somewhat but at a loss of what to do. I has to be because of aries. when i click fly with aries running it makes dcs lock up and teamspeak completely locks up in the background. if i disable aries in ts it does the same thing. the only way it works somewhat normal (ill explain what i mean by somewhat here in a second) is if i completely close teamspeak and run dcs. Ok so by somewhat i mean the sim still has a hesitation or lag sometimes about 5 secs when i click fly single or multiplayer. I have recently last week done a clean install of teamspeak and aries for the 100th time. Any suggestions?

Did you also remove DCS and start over? And that includes your Documents\DCS folder I'm afraid...

[Stuka]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?



On a more serious note: did you install Aries as admin?
Also, rename your your DCS folder in saved games. Let DCS create a new one when you start it.
You'll need to re-connect Aries after that.
You'll loose all your settings, inputs, skins,.... but it's just a test at this point.

If that fixes the problem, we can work getting your settings and such back over. (and maybe ID the actual problem doing so)

I was afraid of that... ugh... that is so much to do. but on a better note i have installed and un installed aries and teamspeak so many times i know all the settings by heart. oh and yea i did install it as admin. it has got to do something with teamspeak i imagine.

OK so update on my crashing issue. I completely re installed everything last night. DCS Teamspeak and aries. Got it all done in 1.5 hrs. Whew. After i get everything set up after running DCS for the first time. I exited out and went to the multiplayer desktop icon and everything was fine. I jump on the ds and just before it gets in the lobby. BOOM DCS CRASHED. Well so I try to narrow it down and see if it does this in single player. works fine. so I try to go to multiplayer from the main menu. Works fine..... what the hell? Lost in translation now...... i havent tried it yet from the multiplayer icon to see if it crashes there and only there. After all that reb flew a test flight with me and everything worked like a champ even aries. yes i turned it on and off. lol.

ok so now to my next question. for the skins to be installed correctly i have everything done except i remember there was one file with a zip folder inside of it in saved games but i dont remember where it goes and where to get it from to put it in there. or does dcs make it for you. stuka i know we talked about this the other day but.... i forgot.... i have horrible memory.

The full d/l of the skin pack has a readme file that explains all of the steps to create the proper skin folder/s IIRC. Do you have that?

Like Roto said the "how to" is included in the full version.

Crashing when entering the DS is likely because you didn't install a required mod.

I have the textures and liveries installed along with the auto execute script. per the "how to" But again what i am asking is somewhere in dcs saved games or where it is installed there is a folder with a zipped folder that is also necessary for the skins. we did it when we first started training and and stucka also referred me to it a couple days ago.

I had all the required mods when it crashed. only thing i didnt do what turn voice degradation off. I changed that and it now has no problem since the fresh install.

And like I said the full version has that file and the read me has the directions where to put the zip file.
