Thank you Thank you for your total help. ????

Flappie, nothing! :thumbup: No crash, no freeze or hang. I tried it twice. The second time I even destroyed your three targets with the cannon. :megalol: All along previous S-25T missions I have had many superimposed sound files from two or more sources (command, allied flight, wingman, etc...) and never had a crash that way. As a matter of fact, I think I mentioned that in the initial post: Since I had the last stable download (Ver. 2.5.6.55960), last week, I haven´t had any of the annoying and daily crashes at desktop I used to have since I installed the game two months ago. I participated in several threads in Steam discussing those issues in several posts at Steam and the theories of possible causes. Finally this stable version tells me the reason was the game itself.

Maybe you are right, but I think the smoke message comes a few seconds later if I remember well. BTW, where are you getting these playing wav (folder)? Anyway. It is not a big problem. I am sure the failure is only tied to that particular mission as it has not happened in any other mission before. I am now at level 10 in the campaign and I have played all other Su25T missions in the weeks before, including a complex mission of my own.

I abandoned any effort of overclocking a long time ago.:huh:

The issue still there I have flown the 5.2 mission four times. Twice froze and another two did not. The two that crashed I gave the order to wingman closely after waypoint 3. The other two that I managed to end (in both cases shot down by SAMs) I gave the order some distance after WPT 3. Interesting, no? I look at the dcs.log of the last one (which froze) and find the very same ending "can't load wave....", but there are other errors along it. dcs log is attached. dcs.log

I know I can play it by navigating to the mission folder. But what I don´t know is if by doing so, will my campaign results be modified? It is for that, I did suggest copying the mission to another folder like "my missions". OK. I did that. I have now 16GB of v. ram. Meditating on that, I wonder if it was the cause of all my DCSW crashes to desktop, before the stable download of last week.:doh: I don´t remember to have messed with the virtual memory, so I believe the low value was set by Windows 10. Tonight, I will reproduce mission 5.2 and let you know how it worked. Thanks again. :)

I have experienced some negatives to repair or refuel/arm, but after insisting 3 or 4 times more, the ground crew answers copy and proceeds with the task.

Thank you for answering, Flappie. :) See that I got the freezing crash, at least three times in a row. Same mission, about same place (when I order to wingman what to do). But I only have the DCS.log below. Here it is the entire log: See that the Sound event is the last one and happens 2 minutes after the previous log entry. The freezing happens immediately after giving that particular order. A different order was necessary afterwards to be able to bypass that particular mission in the campaign beyond 5 and progress to missions 6, 7 and 8 (where I am now). If I wanted to play the campaign mission ATO-A-P5.2.miz to try to reproduce the event, may I copy it to the "my missions" folder and play it from there?

I am a two months beginner in DCSW, so I am just playing with the SU-25T. I play with an i7-4790K @ 4.00 GHZ 16GB RAM and a GTX 1060 6GB video card in a 1920 x 1080 144Hz ASUS VG248 monitor. I use middle+ graphics settings and get a pretty good fps performance. During the last two months I have had daily crashes to desktop, related with memory issues (including some BSOD after crashing to desktop). I´ve got to live with those and found some tricks to minimize the crashes. But after the last stable download last week, it seems DCSW is really more stable and I haven´t yet experienced the first of these types of crashes (in the last 2 or 3 days). So I am observing to be sure this situation is sustainable. However yesterday I experienced a new type of crash where my computer freezes and there is no way to get it to desktop (Ctrl-Alt-Del). After looking at the log I found this: 2020-10-12 01:41:34.493 ERROR SOUND: can't load wave: "speech\rus\common\player\messages\attack primary target and rejoin" It seems that in SU-25T campaign mission ATO-A-P5.2.miz, when I give instructions to wingman to "attack primary target and rejoin" the system does not find the WAV file. So I came back several times with the same result. I even made a Steam integrity verify with no file problems found. After a while looking for a solution, I decided to play the mission by not giving that order anymore (which I had used in previous campaign missions without any issue whatsoever). That was the way I got to pass the 5th mission to the following ones. I have not yet tried if such an order will affect posterior missions.

Mouse is essential to pan for some of us. It is all about available money to buy hardware and built a cockpit. I know TrackIR and other VR devices are very useful in this game. I am in an early stage with the SU-25T and use the mouse or the joystick hat to pan around. When I get my first clickable module I will have to use a key modifier such as LCtrl to keep using the mouse either to pan or to click. It is possible to use also the small joysticks of a controller (PS,) in the left hand to pan around. I have mentioned elsewhere that I would be happy to have three hands to play DCSW. A VR device is that third hand.
