[RESOLVED]F5E Module Not responding crash

[Whiskeybravo]

Hi all,

 

I'm getting a crash with the windows message 'DCS has stopped working' whenever I hit the FLY button to start a mission with the F5E in the latest NTTR Open Alpha.

 

It is fine in 1.5 but whether it a quick start mission, BFM campaign mission or from within the mission editor on NTTR I get the crash.

 

If I uninstall and reinstall the F5E module it will work for one or two occasions but then the crashes start again.

 

All other modules work without any problems.

 

Anyone else having the same issue and how do I go about reporting it as a potential bug?

 

Many thanks in advance for any advice/help.

 

Regards,

 

WB.

I am having the same issue but mine is with other modules as well... and I am not receiving log files when the system crashes in this manner. Its almost as if DCS doesn't register a Crash, it simply stops responding.

Thanks for the reply SkateZilla, please find the zipped files attached as requested.

Hi can I ask what antivirus you are using, and is DCS running with administration privileges?

[Whiskeybravo]

Hi there,

 

I'm running Windows Defender and DCS is not running with administrator privileges as far as I can tell by looking at the properties of both the updater exe and the DCS exe.

 

Will try with admin privileges checked and report back.

 

Cheers,

 

WB.

[Whiskeybravo]

Checked with admin privileges enabled but it made no difference! :(

I use the F-5E a lot and I have not been able to reproduce this.

 

Do you have any unofficial modifications? if so I would do a clean

 

please follow these instructions for which ever version you are using.

 

go into your Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/bin folder.

 

There, hold Left Shift and right click and click "Open Command window here."

 

Then, type the following exactly as printed:

 

DCS_updater.exe cleanup

 

this will delete all non official files

 

then do a dcs repair

 

DCS_updater.exe repair

 

hope it helps, if not let us know

[Whiskeybravo]

Woohoo! Seems to have done the trick. Only brief testing so far but all seems good. Will try more detailed testing later and report back.

 

Many thanks. :thumbup:

No problem happy to help, if you do see any more crashes let us know

[Whiskeybravo]

Happy to report that I have now flown all the training tutorials in 1.5 and several quick start and freefly missions in 2.5 with no issues.

 

Loving the F5E. :)
