Tango777 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I now have the latest stable version of DCS that updated today and when the F14 crashes DCS hangs. The screen remains in the current view, in my case the cockpit. There isn't 1 key on the keyboard that makes DCS respond. Escape key on the keyboard does not do anything, even if I let DCS sit there (looking at the instrument panel in my case) for 5 minutes. Technically I do not witness the crash. DCS hangs just before the F14 splashes and explodes. I am just in the cockpit looking at the water outside the front of the canopy. Ctrl + Alt + Del does work, but it takes a little while for the task manager to populate, and then from there it shows that DCS is not responding. Click on end task and that is the only way to close DCS. i7-13700F - 32GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB - 2TB NVMe SSD - Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens to me as well - Oddly enough this hang only happens to me when I crash in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurts Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) going to try and recreate it now and grab a log *Edit* - just did a custom single player mission (same one I was doing last night) and crashed into the sea three times with no issue. Fired it up in multiplayer and crashed four times with no issue. So this is real, but not consistent. I will try to remember to grab a log next time it happens.

Spurts Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 okay great! I'll still try and grab a log if it happens, more data points and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango777 Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 This is a very different problem. The previous problem was DCS hanging upon mission loading at World Preload 1/60. That problem was fixed in the latest stable DCS release. This problem causes DCS to hang just before the F14 hits the water. I don't know how I could get a log when DCS has hung. i7-13700F - 32GB DDR5 RAM - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060Ti 16GB - 2TB NVMe SSD - Windows 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudikoff Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Cool, had this happen several times this week. i386DX40@42 MHz w/i387 CP, 4 MB RAM (8*512 kB), Trident 8900C 1 MB w/16-bit RAMDAC ISA, Quantum 340 MB UDMA33, SB 16, DOS 6.22 w/QEMM + Win3.11CE, Quickshot 1btn 2axis, Numpad as hat. 2 FPH on a good day, 1 FPH avg. DISCLAIMER: My posts are still absolutely useless. Just finding excuses not to learn the F-14 (HB's Swansong?). Annoyed by my posts? Please consider donating. Once the target sum is reached, I'll be off to somewhere nice I promise not to post from. I'd buy that for a dollar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_dalan Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Happened to me for the first time this weekend. I guess i don't crash that often (without being shot down previously), i was dogfighting a Viper on the Nevada map, realized i was about to kiss the desert, pulled hard, got my nose high and heard the aircraft screeching. And for a moment i thought i made it. Then the screeching sound repeated it self.....over and over again i was stuck with the same view. Then i realized DCS has crashed and i had to terminate the process manually.

Xillix Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I never had DCS crash until I installed the F14 module. I'm having similar issues, as well as additional issues of irresponsiveness from DCS and having to restart to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tspencer227 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Had the same thing happen. Marianas map, Supercarrier CQ mission, got slow and went in, the game crashed as soon as I hit the water, and had to use task manager to close the program.
