Crashing on toggling Labels On via hotkey


WilliamLink

Recommended Posts

I've been having this issue for quite some time. I can't remember the last time it worked for me, but I guess it was before the 2.7 release.

My "Labels" option is set to "No Labels" on the Gameplay Options Menu, but there is a hotkey to toggle them on and off (Left Shift + F2). It's a useful tool in multiplayer servers that I'd like to use for when I want to quickly identify a player that's right next to me on the ground or in the air, without having to look at the F10 map, find myself in it and the player next to me to see their callsign.

The problem is, as soon as I press the hotkey, the game crashes. This happens on both the Stable Release branch and the Open Beta branch (fresh install on my PC, as I've just decided to play on the OB this week). Tested on multiplayer servers only. I haven't checked in Single Player yet but it's likely to do the same.

DCS Log attached.

@WilliamLink what happens when you do the actual key combo press? though i do not have this issue, i have seen on the forums that the software that does the hot key causes issues. Ala Logitech. perhaps see if there is an updated version. just offering an idea. good luck.

Well, I can't remember if this hotkey Shift+F2 is reserved by any other conflicting software running on background. I gotta check this, but I think there's nothing using it.

But what happens in-game is that as soon as I press the Left Alt Shift + F2 it freezes for a couple of seconds, then the pop up Crash Report window appears, giving me the option to send crash report (I have NO IDEA what that actually does).

I've just checked if the crash happens on the Menu Screens, and nope. It doesn't. Only when I'm actually on a mission/server.

Edit: Just correcting the Hotkey. It's actually Left SHIFT + F2, not Left Alt + F2. There are also other keys for other types of Labels toggling. I'll check these as well next time.

Hi. Please reproduce the crash, then attach the most recent zip file you can find in your "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs" folder.

I've just reproduced the crash, but I couldn't attach the original zip folder because it exceeds the 5 MB maximum attachment size (it's a 9.9 MB file). Most of it is because of the mission track (.trk) file inside the .zip. It was a pretty busy Capture Bases mission from a 4YA server, with 30+ active players at the moment.

So I took the freedom of extracting the zip folder, and re-zipping it without the .trk file.

It clearly shows it's a bug, triggered by bin/Visualizer.dll.

Here's a similar crash log:

I have no idea what's happening to you. You should consider a "slow" DCS repair.

I've been able to toggle the labels yesterday without crashing... MAYBE it's related to what aircraft I choose (yesterday I picked up an F-16C and had no crash, now for this crash I've attached, I was in the F-15C)... No idea. I'll try to cause the crash on Single Player missions, try it with different aircraft and see how it goes.

I don't remember purposelly toggling labels in that P-47 mission right now, but maybe I did but forgot to mention it, or did it inadvertently and didn't realize it, that's all I have, sorry for not being more helpful.

Modules: A-10C I/II, F/A-18C, Mig-21Bis, M-2000C, AJS-37, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, P-47, FC3, SC, CA, WW2AP, CE2. Terrains: NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf, Syria
