Crash in wRadio.DLL

[yogiklatt]

Heya,

since the latest update I am getting a crash in wRadio.DLL. It goes all fine until I actually go into a seat or commander position in MULTIPLAYER ONLY and then I am always getting the same crash. I removed all mods I could find (Tacview, SRS, Kneeboard Builder, etc.), even reverted latest NVIDIA drivers to rule out any issues with the audio drivers.

 

The voice chat check box in the options was off but I also tried to completely wipe the user folder which didn't make a difference. I remember that I initially had an issue with the auto updater but I did a full repair which only prompted me to delete some older plane texture mods.

What I am trying now is to just revert to the previous Open Beta and updating from there again ... sadly that's at least 120 gb of traffic  ... but any pointers are welcome.

Hi yogiklatt.

I've looked for this "RadioCommandDialogPanel.addSomeSubMenu" function. It's declared in the "\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel\RadioCommandDialogsPanel.lua" script, lines 1756 to 1759:

 

function addSomeSubmenu(name, path, primaryMenuItem)
	local item = { name = name, submenu = { name = name, items = {} }}
	return addSomeMenuItem(item, path, primaryMenuItem)
end

 

This function takes three parameters. Chances are one of these arguments causes the crash, but so far it's hard to tell which one.

Another function calls this one: addOtherSubmenu (declared in the same file, lines 1839 to 1840). Try commenting it out: place "--" in front of each line, so it looks like this:

 

 

Now, launching DCS will gie you a different error. Please attach the resulting dcs.log file.

Cheers, if the re-install doesn't fix it (I assume the whole world is downloading free modules atm, it's a rather slow DL atm), I'll give that a go! Thanks @Flappie!

Complete reinstall fixed the issues ... also somewhat improved the frame rate. Guess it was about time after two years.

Great news. Enjoy the game.
