Open Beta freezes after exiting missions

[Lordbaldur]

The title really says it all. Whenever I exit a session, the mission freezes at the in-game menu and the music starts. I do not believe it happens on every mission, but it seems prevalent in Instant Action.

 

Just FYI, my computer is very powerful.

GTX970, i5-4690k, 16GB DDR3 RAM. All drivers should be updated but I have to double check.

The same happened to me just now. I was ending the UH-1H campaign mission #1, and it the DCS end-mission dialog became unresponsive. The main-menu music played, but the end-mission dialog was dead. Ctrl-Alt-F4 got me out.

I noticed that in two missions now - one was mission #1 for the UN Helicopter Pilot in the UH-H1 campaign, the other was a single Su-27 mission.

 

The common thing was that in both missions I died by crashing my aircraft/helo into the ground.

 

The game froze, the menu music was playing, and I had to kill DCS to get out.

 

DCS didn't generate any logs at the time the freeze happened...

Getting the same error. Happened on the free flight instant action for the L-39. Hit escape, clicked End Flight. The screen locked up, background menu music came up but the game would not leave the frozen screen.

 

Here is my system nfo and DCS log

I have this issue as well, however only after experiencing black screen in-game.

Reported in the Video card issues section with logfiles etc. attached.

Happens to me intermittently - I hit Esc>Quit, the menu music starts, but escape menu etc. stays. Have to kill it through Task Manager, no crash log is generated.

Solution is to delete the files Options.lua and Netwok.vault in your Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config folder.

 

DCS will build new ones when started again.

 

Note: For multiplayer you will need to go into Module Manager first and log on again.

Had another freeze just now when wanting to end a campaign mission. Going to try out what @Sporg recommended. :)

I've manage to get a grasp on the crashing problem.

 

When you exit out of the game/server WHILE you are in an EXTERNAL VIEW - this will result in a crash about 80% of the time.

 

Try having your view in the cockpit and exit out of the game/server.

 

At least that's the gist of what I manage to keep having.

Tried Sporg's solution and it seems that it works okay now.

Good point. That seems to be the case for me as well. Going to remind myself of staying inside the 'pit. :thumbup:

FYI - I did what was recommended here, however, my last campaign mission froze when trying to exit.

 

I was, as mentioned above by Whuping, in an outside view as well, so that may be a good pointer for the devs to start looking

one quick question,

 

I encounter the same problem when I exit the mission.

 

where can I find the saved Games folder? in order to delete the file mentioned above?

 

thanks
