F-86 Mission 7


Recommended Posts

After escorting the A-10s all the way to the front line, the game keeps crashing.  It takes quite some time to reach the point where it crashes and it does not seem to be generating a crash log.  I will try again to replicate it once I have more time, but since it takes 30 minutes just to reach the AO, I don't have the time lol

Has anyone else run into this?

i7 4790k

16GB DDR3 2400mhz (if it's a memory leak and this isn't enough, I have more RAM on the way, will update if this resolves)
Samsung Odyssey VR headset

PS It seems not many have discovered this campaign, and since it was only $5 I picked it up.  Was really enjoying it!

Yes, it's a fantastic campaign.
The only time DCS ever crashes on me, it's one of two. Either a faulty mod, or I have overclocked my graphic card too much, and it gets too hot. For some strange reason DCS is the only game that doesn't seems to like overclocking. Everything else is fine.
Sorry for not beeing of more help.
Cheers!

Knew I was forgetting something.  Using a 2080super so no need for overclocking.

Looking back I realize both times were after the radio message to engage enemy helicopters at 1500 feet.  However, I could never spot the helicopters.   I will try again tonight and see if I can spot them.

I wonder if it's trying to spawn them and failing

Appreciate the heads up on this.  I'll check it out when I get home (out on a work trip at the moment)   And thanks for giving a rough approximation on where in the mission it's happening.  That helps considerably.

Finally received the RAM, so now running 32GB DDR3 2400mhz

I was able to get past the point where the crashes were occuring.  A-10s took out the AAA, I took out one of the helos.. then I must have screwed something up because I exploded

I will continue testing when I have more time tomorrow or this weekend.  It's a very long mission so don't have time to restart it again tonight.

Should also note I'm on the beta branch (those clouds!) if that's any help.

I was just able to fly the mission, and without any time acceleration, or mission editor tricks to speed up the mission, I flew the entire thing to completion without a crash.
  My PC is quite similar to yours too.   4790k, 16gb ram, regular 1080, and running a Rift S.   My framerates did get embarrassingly low after both helo's were taken out.  Hit the low teens a number of times when looking out over the carnage in the city.

The explosion could be a couple things.  There is an SA-9 down there ... but you said you got the call that all AAA was taken out, so I doubt that was it.   Also, how close were you to that helo when you hit him?   I have a trigger set for an internal explosion on him once his health hits a certain point (to make sure the helo actually goes down)    Sometimes, if a player is to close to the target when that happens, they can take damage as well.
Another possibility, if you get to far away from the AO (and it actually is a decent distance), there are enemy SAMs out there, so don't be doing a sight-seeing tour to Senaki or something 🙂

you know I was about to file a bug for this exact stage and point in the mission, but now you say you just ran it so I wonder if you can help me too. Twice now, I kill both choppers and get the message to keep my ammo for further assignments, but I never get that next event to fire. 
looking at the mission in ME I see that there is a building of enemies to take out or something but it won’t initiate for me even if I orbit over at low altitude. 


Also, small note that I don’t think the AWAC being on channel 11 is anywhere in the briefing. I think I was still on 12 from the airport, but had received all comms so far to that point. Could I be on the wrong channel?

Stay on Channel 12, no need to switch to 11.   

Just looked at the mission, somehow the "late activation" on the units that trip the trigger deselected, so they likely activate it before you even get off the ground.    Issue was with ground troops not being able to run.  A bug with a patch made it so that troops wouldn't move to their waypoints.
You should be able to complete the mission still, after you get the call that says conserve ammo, the call that should come in a little bit later is:

"Ground Troops  -  This is the shore line flank troop division,  we're getting ripped apart by soldiers on the roof of the large building to the north.  We need assistance.  We're marking our location with red smoke"

 

"Overwatch  -  Relic 1 this is Overwatch.  We're tasking you with that.  The A-10’s are busy.  Take out those troops on the roof of the buildings.  Check the ground surrounding the building as well.  Their location is on the western edge of town, along the river, about half a mile inland from the coast.  Our troops are popping red smoke to help you locate them.  The smoke is our guys, take out the enemy located at the building"

"Overwatch  -  Take out those troops on the roof of the building and surrounding area.  Their location is on the western edge of town, along the river, about 800 meters inland from the coast.  Our troops are popping red smoke to help you locate them.  The smoke is our guys, take out the enemy located at the building.   "
 

Because you won't get the red smoke, here's some help.      First, this clip from the Release Trailer shows you the building you need to hit  (video should start at the 4:27 mark)




Also, attached is a picture directly from master file of this mission from the Mission Editor.  I drew an arrow at the building you need to hit.

After this, if NOTHING else triggers properly, you should be able to head to Gudauta and get a "mission complete" after landing there.

Hope this helps, and I appreciate the report.  I'll get it fixed

Hey Japo32.   
   Well, I just ran the mission, and didn't have a CTD.   However ... the AWACs does decide the best thing to do is to crash into trees about 2 minutes after taking off.   So frustrating.  The AWACs in the F-86 lasts a little longer before he crashes, about 6 minutes.    I have to figure out what's going on here.   That might be the cause to your CTD, but still odd, because even with those planes crashing, it didn't CTD for me.
