Trying to do some editing and even loading the mission causes crashes sometimes (after 3 or 4 edit/load/test cycles)

some more information

 

You start an editing session, and do the usual stuff

1. edit mission

2. load mission in editor

3. edit mission

4. save the mission

5. play mission for a few minutes

6. end mission

7. GOTO step 3

 

What I have observed is that after maybe an hour or two of doing this something

seems to cause DCS to crash (maybe at save mission sometimes at very start of mission)

 

So here is the worst part ...... you restart DCS

and now the GUI might take 10 seconds with the main menu screen frozen

you get swirling circle, you might get back into the editor if you are lucky, you might be able to save .. but then it will hang (screen goes grey UI locks up)

 

I have tried the usual repair DCS etc (I use NO mods) makes no difference

 

Through a process of trial and error I have discovered that if you logout of windows that seems to get you a working non crashing dcs .... for another hour

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

 

I have 32G of RAM so it sure aint running out a RAM, never ever had this issue with 2.5.0

I have 32G of RAM so it sure aint running out a RAM, never ever had this issue with 2.5.0

 

I have similar results with 32gb of ram also, but not exactly the same, as I am editing missions on a daily basis doing the exact process of steps 1 to 7, I get random crashes or freeze, but mainly when I attempt to run the same mission a second time and also when I finish a mission it will hang.

 

Most of the issues happen more frequently if you use the F-10 map view a lot whilst in mission, which I do to check that AI aircraft and vehicles are doing their assigned tasks correctly, do this and it hangs on exit more, don't use the F-10 map exits more normally.

 

Example:

 

From memory, using different plane modules creates different outcomes:

 

  • When working on Su-25T campaign missions, crash on second runs all the time and freezing more often than not when exiting mission.
  • When working on UH-1H single missions, even with F-10 map view usage no crashes or freezing.

These issues have been going on for a long time for me with all versions of DCS 2.0 to 2.5 OA, OB and Tester versions, it is highly annoying to try and develop missions with, but I can't nail it down enough to report issue to be fixed.

the one iam working on (various versions of)

if I were to load edit cycle a few time (make sure you do several F10 / F2 views and switch about when the mission is running - because are are observing that the mission is working correctly) for a few minutes

 

 

You start an editing session, and do the usual stuff

1. edit mission

2. load mission in editor

3. edit mission

4. save the mission

5. play mission for a few minutes (use F2 and F10 map views a bunch of times - let mission run for 5 mins minimum)

6. end mission

7. GOTO step 3

Seems ok for me, went in game and back to editor six times without issue, while in the mission selected units changed views and used the f10 map.

 

Is it just this mission you have the problem with? if so could it be something in the scripts maybe?

So to be clear, you changed something in the mission, saved it, played it (Did a bunch of F2/F10 map views scrolled around the map a bit) exited and repeated the above six times?

 

I have edited this mission a lot, it has many different versions.

I just loaded 2.5 and did the above 6 times without error, so for me at least

this seems to be something from 2.5.1 beta, I have edit this mission loads of time in many previous versions of DCS without any problems

 

The one thing I noticed that me and Mad dog have different from you is that we use 32G of RAM

yes made edits also, back and forth between editor and ingame, changing views and watching the log with glogg as I was doing it.

 

Didnt see any issues, maybe it is some other difference, like you have suggested hardware

I dont think it is the mission

 

It runs on a server for 6 to 8 hours at a time with 20+ players without crashing, its just when I try to edit it in 2.5.1 DCS crashes after a few edit test cycles
