Crash on cargo unhook

Hi everyone!

 

My game crashes all the time I let go of a cargo.

Manually releasing in in air works fine, but if the cargo touches the ground manual and auto unhook result in the game crashing, every time.

 

My install of 1.2.8 is 100% clean, freshly installed from scratch, new mission created, no mods, no old configs, nothing old.

 

Can anyone confirm if I'm not the only one with that problem or if I am.

Game crash is reproducable every time, mission briefing cannot be loaded then and I end up in the mission editor.

 

Greetings

Hi -=MadCat=-

 

it is working fine for me, zip and attach your logs folder after the crash happens we may find some clues in there

Track-folder in saved games is empty, none created, and after I clicked "OK" for the notification that no debriefing could be generated, I get right back to the mission editor, no chance to manually save one. :(

 

Besides that, Happy Birthday, BIGNEWY ! :yay::clown_2::juggle::balloon:

 

Thanks !

 

I have celebrated by mowing the lawn. As soon as I am washed up I will take another look at your issue, do you have the miz / mission you are using handy ?

OK tried your mission and had the same crash, so I re-saved it adjusted the cargo's and had another go, same crash.

 

Started fresh with a new mission no issues.

 

Was this mission from a earlier build of 1.2.8 ?

 

Give my quick mission a go to make sure you do not get the crash and let me know

Ok, here I go again.

 

My current version is 1.2.8.27203.

A manual update didn't bring any newer version to light.

Tried your mission, no problem.

Tried mine again, crash...

Tried yours, no problem.

Created a completely new mission, crash.

Tried yours, did 5 consecutive pickups and unhooks without a problem.

Created yet another totally new mission, again nothing in it just a UH-1, and a cargo, crash upon cargo touching the ground (auto unhook) or me unhooking the cargo on ground manually...

 

Looks like my mission editor creates corrupted missions, I'm close before another 100% reinstall...

What's your sorcery? :cry:

Have you tried repair?

 

if it still crashes delete a few folders and repair again....

 

never know..

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

First repair (actually the 2nd, did one past night already) no luck.

Next repair I deleted the "Mission Editor" folder in the main directory and at random the "Scripts" and "distr" folders too.

Repaired, still crashing on a 100% freshly created mission... :cry:

 

Will try a 2nd 100% reinstall tomorrow, then report back, have had my share of crashes for today...

 

Thanks so far

Lots to tell, so I'll get right to it, some good, some bad.

 

First off, the 100% fresh reinstall didn't do much, I installed from scratch, just installed the UH-1 with world, and worked from there, no old files whatsoever.

 

Created a new mission, didn't bother to edit any units, just places a UH-1 and a cargo, tried, and it worked perfectly, no crash.

Then I got an idea, the default nationality is "USA" when you first place new objects.

Changed UH-1's nationality to "Germany", tried, no problem.

Changed cargo's nationality to "Germany", tried, crash.

 

After that I got curious and tested all nationalities for cargo, here is what I found:

 

  • USA works perfectly in all aspects.
  • Russia and Ukraine don't crash the game upon unhook, yet once you unhooked the cargo it is not available anymore for another pickup.
  • Every other nationality for the cargo results in a crash upon cargo unhook.
  • Manually unhooking in the air doesn't crash the game either, regardless of nationality, yet cargos get destroyed as expected.

All hooking and unhooking was performed from a hover and the cargo standing on the ground, just used automatic unhook this time around.

 

 

If those findings can be confirmed I'd say it's an official bug.

 

 

On a second note:

I managed to crash your mission that way too, BIGNEWY, as well as the unavailability with Russia and Ukraine.

Then tried with an old mission of mine, same results.

 

 

Eager to hear from you, BIGNEWY :)

 

 

Nice greetings

I guess being a late-comer to the Huey, I am discovering the pitfalls late.

I have been having this same or similar issue with Cargo and Game Crashing.

 

I have my Cargo Hookup on my Pinky Switch.

When I have hovered long enough to grab the cargo, I hit the switch for hookup. The problem is, I sometimes double click it ... in all the excitement of getting a connection. It is on the click(s) following the hookup that my Game Crashes.

 

What I didn't know is that it is Country Specific.

I have been flying Canadian ...all the way .. all the aircraft.

 

I did try DCS Repair and all that too.

 

Now I have only just installed Today's Update so I don't know if the problem still exists, but I think before being disappointed I will recreate the Cargo Mission ... OR I'm wondering if I can simply EDIT it to reflect either USA or Russia instead of having to completely recreate the mission ?

Anyone know ?

I can confirm this issue. It must have been introduced recently. It happens on a dedicated server AND on a privately hosted server. The example is from the privately hosted session.

 

It ALSO HAPPENS when disembarking troops!

 

Here are the log files for the cargo unhook crash on a privately hosted server.

 

Attached: Log file, dump file, crash file.

yes, disembarking troops is also broken. Two weeks ago I was building a mission with these two features and both of them broken.... hopefully known issues? :helpsmilie:

 

ps:

thanks for your miz file recently, frett. :thumbup:
