Crash at mission start

[Godzila]

Game occasionally crashes when mission loading starts. It returns me to start with "cannot open debriefing file". Attached log is from open beta, but it is the same with regular version. Mods don't seem to affect this. I can attach more logs if needed. I already tried reinstalling drivers, directX and C++.

 

System is Win7 64bit and I am above minimum specs. Game runs fine besides these occasional crashes.

What joystick do you use and are it's drivers up to date as well?

 

edit:

and in which mission does this happen? Or are all missions affected?

Or perhaps is it related to the module/aircraft you are trying to fly?

[Godzila]

Joystick is MSFFB2, don't know about drivers, but since it is so old I thought that what came with Win7 is good enough. I also use 1 Leo Bodnar BU836A and FTnoIR.

 

It is not mission or aircraft related. I just restart once or twice and it is OK. Maybe it is just a feeling, but I think that if I wait few seconds before clicking "FLY" it doesn't crash so often.

Hrm. The crash log seems to suggest that the issue is related to some input device - that's why I asked.

 

I don't know, but if you can replicate the issue more or less reliably, maybe you want to try to unplug the joystick for testing. And maybe do the same with your head tracker (iirc, you need to copy a .DLL into the game directory for that? What, if you undo that?)

[Godzila]

I tested a bit more. Now that you mentioned some input is causing this i think I have found the cause. I think that if I don't launch FTnoIR game crashes often. I tried 20 times now and with FTnoIR working crashes disappeared. Problem is that crashes are not always present. Now that I know what to look for I think I will be able to isolate this as a FTnoIR problem.

 

I installed open beta and didn't touch anything besides assigning basic axes for joystick. I didn't add headtracker.dll (after adding nothing changed). That is why I opened this thread. I have non-beta install with lots of mods, multimonitor and custom inputs edits so I didn't even bother asking about this.
