kreisch Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 Hey guys, My squadmates told me about a strange bug they encountered a few minutes ago. They did a usual startup and flight in the hornet and after a few minutes (about 10-15 into the mission) the MFDs stopped working - for everyone! The content of the MFDs/DDIs froze and the HUD froze as well. After this happened, the MFDs/DDIs were frozen for everyone joining the server, even after they restarted DCS.

kreisch Posted March 25, 2020 Author Posted March 25, 2020 We do not know what happened, but after I repaired my installation of DCS and re-created that mission we were not able to reproduce the errors. It's a bit strange because the installation was not modded/updated/changed in any way. However, not reproducible. BR, kreisch Ugly-Squadron GamestarPinboard
Victor3 Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 I had this happen the other night while I was in IFA, as soon as I switched to Nav they started working again, is this the same issue?

danep Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 I think I've experienced the same issue twice in single player (Raven One campaign). HUD frozen and not updating, some DDI/MFD buttons not working, and could not access menu (change function) for any DDI/MFD. Tried cycling nav and gear as suggested but nothing helped. It was really weird and inconsistent between displays: for instance I could select a different store or FLIR mode, but couldn't change the HSI waypoint.

Same here. I got hit by few rounds from a gun boat and the MC went out. The HUD was stuck at 45 deg. bank, so I had to shut it down. DDI's went blank but not at the same time. NAV was gone but the RWR was working so I limped back to the BG guiding on their radars... This was in SP. They might be looking at a different issue though, all players joining the session experienced it. Edited October 17, 2020 by Gripes323
