1.5.8 ME constantly crashing

[Nealius]

I'm getting constant crashes when either opening mission files or exiting the game after testing the mission file. It's not a hard crash, since DCS remains open, but it just sits at a black screen or at "loading" and never loads. Accordingly, there is no .crash or .dmp file. Attached are three logs and the mission file (though it happens with every AV-8B mission I've been working with so far).

 

This is a brand new install on a brand new SSD. No mods.

Good old lua errors...

I'm not entirely sure what causes that error since it seems to be pretty random and a few people have posted reports on it. All I know is it can occur after playing a mission and the editor reloads the miz file.

No known fix? It is indeed pretty random. It seems like if I do any editing to a KC130 in the ME, I will have a crash or something. If I edit missions that don't have a KC130, or simply don't touch the KC130 in missions that do, it tends to run normally.
