WARNING EFFECTS2: BowwaveEmitter: unknown parameter

[EasyEB]

I'm starting to see a pattern where the game crashes when there are ground units (vehicles and infantry) move, stop and/or unload infantry near or on bridges.

Thank you for the data.

 

I was not abale to reproduce using the track replay on my machine.

 

It has been a difficult crash to pin down.

I can understand that. I’m trying to pin down exactly what causes it but its hard. DCS crashes every single time i play now, 75% is this bug and the rest are CTDs without crash logs seemingly out of nowhere. Once after resuming after a ten second pause, once when arming the countermeasures on the A-10C, once when turning sharp and a bunch of times just out of nowhere.

Again.

Yes it is a difficult one, we may have a fix coming in the next patch, but it needs to be tested in a public testing build to be sure.

 

thanks

 

edit: thanks for the track, again I could not reproduce on my machine, but it was good entertainment while I had a coffee break :)

Wow this bug is a real killer.

 

I did a complete wipe of DCS and did a clean install and I got it again first playtest.

 

Glad to hear you may have a solution. Let me know if you need help with testing the build, this bug kills DCS for me every single time.
