I was editing a mission on the Syria Map and save my work fairly often.  Just in case.  Every 10 or 15 minutes.  As my mission grew larger and more complicated the issue started.  I had no problem editing.  Upon saving, or attempting to save my work, the ME crashes with a Constant Table Overflow message and DCS locks up.  I had to quit through the task manager. Upon a reboot DCS starts and the ME starts up.  But it will not allow me to open ANY missions.  If I create one and then save it I can then load other missions.  But the mission in question just crashes the ME again immediately.  I'll attach the log and the mission.  I edit a LOT of missions and have never had an issue until Syria.  Possibly the map?

 

EDIT:  I spent a large amount of time today editing on other maps.  No issues and everything was quite snappy and ran well.  I think it must have something to with the map.

Hi. I get the same error as soon as I try to load your mission in the ME, then I have to close the game through the task manager.

However, when I restart the game, I can launch any other mission in the ME without any problem.

 

I see you have a few mods installed. Try removing them and see if the ME works any better.

Another possible solution is to rename your "Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor" into "MissionEditor_old". The game will recreate this folder upon launch.

Great.  I'll try that.  I thought I had removed all the mods.  Are you referring to aircraft mods or all mods? Might still have the A-4.  Had some others but don't remember what or where they are.  Will give it a look as well as creating the new MissionEditor file.

 

Thanks...

Here's an error from a "VPC_RAF..." mod:

  

2021-01-21 07:46:30.190 ALERT   Scripting: loadfile: [string "C:\Users\mikew\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods/tech/Main/VPC_RAF_..."]:6: '=' expected near '-'

 

Other mods seem to have been disabled by you:

Ok thanks...  The VPC mod has been deleted.  Do I need to physically delete the others if they're disabled?  I have created the new MissionEditor folder and have begun editing.  No problem doing that yet but I was hours into it last time before it happened.  But I think it's still not right.  I was able to save a new scenario I was working on in Syria.  I've only added a few groups and routes so far.  While the ME did save my work it did not save it as a .MIZ file.  There's no extension at all.  They're just described as File and 0File.   Photo attached.  Those files will load in the ME.  I had to change the extension so that they were visible.

 

Edit: It seems I've been able to get the ME to save the files as proper .MIZ files now. After the mod removal and creating the new folder and a reboot of DCS they are saving correctly.  I think.  The effected files were a loss.  Couldn't even save over them. Will let you know how the editing goes after I get deeper into it.

Thx for the help.

Below is a list of all the errors you're getting with your mission.

 

I don't know what the "non-existing" object is, but it is probably one of the causes of your issue.

Another unusual thing is the "Map already has user object having id[####]!" errors. Object IDs shouldn't be conflitcting. I have no idea how you came to this. Do you use an external mission generator?

Cutting and pasting shoudln't lead to this. I'll unzip your previous miz file and try to see what's wrong in it (needle in a haystack but hey, you never know).

 

EDIT: Even in Windows, there's something wrong with your mission in the OP. When I unzip it using 7zip, it says "header errors".

Maybe your game is unable to create proper archives (a .miz file is just a renamed .zip file). Maybe you should try a cleanup and repair.

It won't be able to load your broken missions but you can try create missions from scratch with your stable version, yes. OB and stable are currently identical (OB should get an update on the 27th).

I'm trying the lengthy repair and cleanup this time...  And if I don't get it working I'll try a new mission on stable.  I tried it before but I was attempting to load a broken file and didn't realize it.  I'll start from scratch again.  Hopefully whatever error I have in OB isn't in stable as well.  I also have both versions of DCS loaded on the computer I use as my server.  Could try that too.  Not the best machine for editing tho.   

 

Edit..  Didn't work.  Starting from scratch on stable.  I think the "map already has user object" issue must be referring to units I'm placing on the map.  I used a lot of copy and paste and I just wonder if it's also copying the unit number instead of having a new one assigned.

Well, it just happened on a very large mission in the PG.  😞  Is it likely someone from ED will pop in here and lend a hand or should I submit a ticket for help?  May have to wipe it out and uninstall and download it again.  There's something in there that shouldn't be.
