DCS crashes during mission 2 of the vanilla campaign

[Whozdär]

I play on Steam using the Open Beta branch.

 

 

I restarted the campaign hoping that by the time I reach mission 10, a fix will have been deployed for it.

 

But now it's already mission 2 that breaks the game. Game crashes all the time at the same spot, when you have tracers spotted on the ground and you're about to go down and shoot flares above enemy troops as a show of force.

 

Game process simply shuts down.

 

Attached are log files. Seems to be something about loading a texture.

I am currently updating nvidia drivers, to see if that fixes it.

Will report back.

Alright, so for the record and to anyone suffering from sudden crashes, this is likely because DCS is filling your disk while you play and doesn't handle / detect the lack of space nicely.

 

I've tried drivers, then occured to me to look at disk space while playing and sure enough it quickly filled up to the point where I had only 150 MB left on C:\ and game crashed then.
