Flappie

FYI, devs are still working on this bug. The fix announced earlier was tested internally and proved unsuccessful.

Unfortunately, the attempted fix was unsuccessful. Devs are still looking for a solution. @HR-Crumble Can you please share a DCS track of the black flicker? We need to reproduce it in order to report it.

I cannot reproduce the crash. Some models take more time to load than others, but that's all.

This crash seems to be linked to your Varjo device: your device gets unplugged, then plugged again, then DCS crashes. 2025-02-03 22:54:27.714 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): [14:54:27.752][Info ] OpenXR: XrEventDataSessionStateChanged: state XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE->XR_SESSION_STATE_SYNCHRONIZED session=2158809808400 time=1000051232682532000 2025-02-03 22:54:27.714 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): [14:54:27.752][Info ] OpenXR: XrEventDataSessionStateChanged: state XR_SESSION_STATE_SYNCHRONIZED->XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE session=2158809808400 time=1000051232682535400 2025-02-03 22:54:27.714 INFO VISUALIZER (Main): [14:54:27.752][Info ] OpenXR: XrEventDataSessionStateChanged: state XR_SESSION_STATE_VISIBLE->XR_SESSION_STATE_FOCUSED session=2158809808400 time=1000051232682537900 2025-02-03 22:54:29.216 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.303 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Input Device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.324 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Serial Device (COM5) 2025-02-03 22:54:29.363 WARNING LOG (5780): 1 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:29.363 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.384 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Input Device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.404 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] Generic USB Hub 2025-02-03 22:54:29.425 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Serial Device (COM7) 2025-02-03 22:54:29.447 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.468 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Composite Device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.488 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] Varjo Headset Audio 2025-02-03 22:54:29.615 WARNING LOG (5780): 5 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:29.615 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [HID] HID-compliant consumer control device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.636 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Composite Device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.656 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.717 WARNING LOG (5780): 2 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:29.717 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] USB Composite Device 2025-02-03 22:54:29.739 INFO APP (Main): Device unplugged: [USB] Generic USB Hub 2025-02-03 22:54:29.760 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] Generic USB Hub 2025-02-03 22:54:30.294 WARNING LOG (5780): 1 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:30.294 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Composite Device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.322 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Serial Device (COM7) 2025-02-03 22:54:30.349 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.390 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Composite Device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.420 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.596 WARNING LOG (5780): 2 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:30.596 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Composite Device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.655 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] Varjo Headset Audio 2025-02-03 22:54:30.868 WARNING LOG (5780): 5 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:30.868 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [HID] HID-compliant consumer control device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.904 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Input Device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.940 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:30.978 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Serial Device (COM5) 2025-02-03 22:54:31.044 WARNING LOG (5780): 1 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2025-02-03 22:54:31.044 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [USB] USB Input Device 2025-02-03 22:54:31.078 INFO APP (Main): Device plugged: [HID] HID-compliant vendor-defined device 2025-02-03 22:54:39.428 INFO EDCORE (Main): signal caught: 'Abnormal termination' 2025-02-03 22:54:39.431 INFO EDCORE (Main): try to write dump information 2025-02-03 22:54:39.433 INFO EDCORE (Main): # -------------- 20250203-225439 -------------- 2025-02-03 22:54:39.433 INFO EDCORE (Main): DCS/2.9.12.5336 (x86_64;

I don't know. Let's wait for a few more days. If everybody here confirm that this workaround works, it will help devs locate the issue. @ebabil Can you please try the aforementioned workaround?

The "ED Beta Testers" tag is misleading. ED and third parties personnel all have blue tags. Other colors mean volunteering.

I understand you believe I'm an ED employee, but I'm just a volunteering tester. I won't write DCS docs for free.

Thank you. I didn't see anything wrong in your DxDiag log, and I'm seeing what you see in your track. Some things are antialiased correctly and some things aren't. As @MoleUK said, it's probably a limitation of the game engine. I'll ask devs about it.

Hi @Gunfreak. I've just tried your .miz file without altering anything and the Arleigh Burke did fire and hit a few missiles. Can you please check again? Arleigh_Burke_OK.trk

Thanks! Please report back here in case the issue returns.

F-16 on a carrier, eh?

@Northstar98 This should have been fixed in October. Can you please confirm it is fixed for you?

It works for me but you need to be lower so the line is not tight anymore. I've not been using autounhook in a long time. Has something changed? autounhook_lower_OK.trk

I beg your pardon?

OK, I understand your surprise, then. The fix for the tanker-AI interaction should be in the next game core udpate.

Thank you, @waterman. Issue reported.

@Gunfreak Do you consider your problem solved?

Your mission contains a mod, I cannot load it.

Hey @virgo47, if you're still seeing an issue, please provide a DCS track.

Today's was a campaign update, not a core game files update:

Please provide a DCS track.

The "R ENG AUX DOOR" CB tooltip and commands are also incorrect, by the way. Reported as well.

Typos reported. Thank you.

I strongly agree, for I've been reporting previous issues he made me aware of. But I don't work at ED, I can't "hire" him.

For you, it is. I studied programming a long time ago, but I'm too lazy. Thanks a bunch, I'll check and report.
