reported earlier Free Flight Freeze at Spawn Objects

[Steve Gee]

Spitfire, P-51 and P-47 all cause DCS to not respond as soon as the Spawn Objects part of the loading process starts, forces a hard restart. The Mosquito Free Flight mission works fine. Have not tried any of the German crates. Multiple repairs of the installation change nothing on those three mentioned.

I'm getting this issue both in Channel and Normandy, but I'm not sure that it's the Spit/P-51/P-47 that are the cause, I think it is something else but can't pin it down yet.

 

Edit: If it is sitting at 'spawn objects' for a long time, give it some more time. Seems it just takes forever and a day to load now.

Have you simply tried to give it some more time?

I have noticed quite longer loading times as well, exactly during the Spawn Objects phase. But it doesn't crash or anything.

Yes I had just updated my response. I am noticing that dynamic spawns for WW2 content are taking much longer to spawn in than usual, and yes the maps are taking a lot longer to load. No issue with the modern jets on Syria etc.

Okay. I wouldn't really know how abnormal it is though - on my configuration, it wasn't more than 2-3 minutes. Subsequent loading times were normal.

Launching into Free Flight Caucasus map with the Mosquito also freezes at Spawn Objects. Bringing up the task manager - the Task Manager UI is also locked. My machine shows the DCS process running at a constant 8% CPU but the PC is unresponsive. Only a Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Reboot will restore windows. I haven't done exhaustive testing of waiting for the Spawn Objects, I gave up after a couple of minutes. Several retries - same result. Mosquito Free Flight on the on Channel Map did not exhibit this behavior.

Well, it does respond, but it feels like for ever even on a Ryzen 5950x 128 GB RAM with a RTX3090, two PCIe 4.0 M2. SSDs one for OS, one for DCS ... So i'd say it ain't a hardware problem.
Was wondering why it takes a few minutes on startup. I've added a sample mission, takes about 3.5 Minutes on my system to get over 'Spawn objects'. Thank god i'm not alone with this bug.

I did 1 and a half loads of laundry (2 wash, 1 dry) while waiting for those three to load. They never did. The Mossie one works perfect and loads lickity-split, as does every thing else on my system, as well as the aforementioned three missions before this latest patch.

It's not related to the Mossy. It's related to WWII aircraft in general. Same Mission with WWII A/C -> 1 Minute load time, replace it with jets 8 seconds ...

Same issue on both Normandy and the Channel maps.

I am just glad I am not alone with this....pretty sure its related to the last update.

Would like BigNewey to look at this
