jmarso Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Running into a crash issue with one SP mission only. Flying in VR, and then half the FOV goes black, but sound continues and the game is frozen. Get the little rotating hourglass in the corner like it's trying to do something, but never gets there. I usually get through most of the mission before this happens, although not always. Usually it occurs towards the end, when I'm RTB. However, there is AI combat still taking place at other places on the map. I tried to unzip the log for the session but it says 'incomplete archive' and shows as corrupted. Again, this is an issue I'm having in ONE mission, and it's both busy and very resource intensive. I went back through the groups and made sure nobody was armed with cluster bombs; not sure if that bug has been fixed or not yet, but decided it wouldn't hurt to remove them. I guess my burning question is, in a mission with numerous groups dogfighting and conducting SEAD against SAM and Silkworm sites, are there any known airframe /weapon issues that would cause a crash like this? Anything I may not have heard about that someone else has? Units include F-15C, F-15E, F-14B, F-16, AV-8B, F/A-18C lot 20, MiG21, MiG29, F-5E, F-4E, and various tankers and AWACS. Player flies the Tomcat. PG map.
jmarso Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Well, I think I solved the issue. Went back into the ME and removed several units (the second time I've shed 'stuff' in this mission) and slightly altered the tasking of some of the other units. Played it again. This time it hit a couple momentary freezes, but recovered without crashing completely. Was able to complete the mission. Ultimately, I think I was burdening the game (and/or my system) too much with too many units and too much pew-pew going on all at the same time. The big tell for me was that it was only happening in this one mission. I'm going to shed a few more units just to stabilize it further, and call it a wrap. Edited July 9, 2019 by jmarso
