DCS crash in multiplayer zooming in F10 map

[Volator]

Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

On a multiplayer server working a CA slot, after playing for 45 minutes or so, DCS regularly crashes when I zoom in closely on the F10 map.

Hi. So far, I haven't experienced this. Please attach the most recent ZIP file your can find in "C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS..\Logs".

[Volator]

Thanks for having a look at this, here you go.

 

The date of the file says it's from 18th May, which is before those crashes started - it basically happened with the latest OB patch.

Ah, then I need the dcs.log file. It may appear as "dcs". It's also located in the "Logs" folder.

[Volator]

Here it is.

Thanks. Your log doesn't show the crash, though. But I see some unusual errors here during game start:

I highly doubt it has something to do with your F10 view crashes, though. It seems you have put your custom liveries in the wrong folder. It should be called "Liveries", not "Textures".

 

Next time your F10 crash happens, please attach your fresh dcs.log file so we can see what happens.

Latest game crash log file, not F10 zoom related though, but being in F10 map.

 

The log file is incredibly huge

Thanks. Your log is indeed clogged with these "Invalid pilotid..." messages:

I don't see any event name that could explain the disappearance of icons. I hope ED devs will know what's happening.

BTW, I talked to other players on an MP server: three said they have the same issue with zoom in F10 crashes.

Here's an F10 zoom crash event

BTW, I only checked this now, all my liveries in fact are in the folder "Liveries", the folder "Texture" only holds an F/A-18 folder... I don't know where this error message stems from.

Next F10 zoom crash log.

 

Did a full repair before btw.

And the next F10 zoom crash.

Thanks. Sorry, I don't see anything unusual in the logs.

[Trespasser]

Hmm, never seen this before, but it's happening to me as of today.

I zoom in on F-10 to get accurate grid coordinates for an object and the screen/game just freezes and I get notified by windows that the program is no longer responding. It's on a multiplayer server, but it's done it now 3 times in a row and very easy to duplicate. Anyone know if this error was ever tracked down and solved?

I might have the same problem.

Same problem here with zooming in map...
