Why does DCS freeze while I'm playing DCS?

[Kei]

I'm confused about my PC's errors while I'm playing DCS. When I had ended several tens of minutes'flight,the debriefing screen was not displayed. In other words, DCS froze. I had to use Task Manager to terminate DCS. Please help me.

 

DCS version:1.5.4.55952

 

PC specification

CPU:Intel® Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz

Mainboard:H61M/U3S3

RAM:16GB

video chip:GTX960

If some missions end correctly, and others freeze - I believe there is bug in the current build, when playing more than one mission consecutively.

• Open DCS -> play mission -> Close DCS, is error free.
   
  
• Open DCS -> play 1st mission -> play 2nd mission, etc. can/will cause a freeze (DCS has stopped reponding).

Is there a solution?

Yes. :joystick: Live with it or just remove (uninstall) DCS.

Is there a solution?

Not AFAIK, you could roll back to last official stable version 1.2.16, if not flying one of the newer modules, but almost no one does that, as most servers are on 1.5/2.0 and there are performance gains for most people with 1.5.

 

You can also use DCS_Updater.exe to roll back to a previous 1.5 version, if there is a version without the bug but would of course break MP compatibility with newer versions.

 

Otherwise we need to wait for ED's next patch and see if it has been fixed.

No, the multi-mission freeze happens for me as well, I live with it because I play some MP and the last patch brought Gazelle multi-crew.

 

The worst thing this bug has brought is the inability to save a track for mission/module bug reporting, however replays often deviate from the recorded events, so even that isn't *really* critical - just nice to have.

[Kei]

Yes. This problem isn't critical. However, I am sad that records of flight is lost. I can't play campaign.

[Ramsay]

I can't play campaign.

You should be able to, just play one mission at a time and exit dcs before playing the next (it's how I'm advancing through the Gazelle Campaign ATM).

　In fact, this problem is caused When I click "QUIT" in pose menu to end a several tens of minutes' flights.
