A4E-C version 2.0 RC3.

[Calabrone]

Hey Pilots the 2.0 RC3 version of the A4E-C mod is now available. Very good with interesting modifications.

Thanks, off to get 'er

I made a simple mission so I can practice takeoffs from the carrier. Unfortunately it crashes randomly 10 to 20 minutes in. Also attachd is the crash report. How do I troubleshoot crashes to desktop? It seems I am getting a lot of these in the error log:

So I guess it's a simshaker issue? Crash happens even when I am not running simshaker.

so i disabled simshaker and TheWay in my Export.lua file.

I cleared out my fxo and metashader folder. Still getting crash and the end of the log file looks like this:

Help?

[skypickle]

ok, reinstalled DCS open beta latest. Ran the mission again. Again it crashes but the log file is no help - no error in it at the end.

Well I deleted all my controlbindings and reset them. It worked for one carrier landing but then crashedd to desktop on the next.

 

 

Got a lot of these errors

I saw your track and tried the mission you did. I have major issues with hooking up to the catapult, but I did flight and landing well over twenty minutes and everything went smoothly. Did you upgrade to Windows 11? I have Windows 10 and everything is fine. I honestly don't know how to advise you and I'm very sorry. Hello!

[skypickle]

still on win 10. thanks for trying to help.

Is usually associated with a GPU Driver Crash and Reset.

[skypickle]

looks like this is a gpu error unique to rtx cards overclocked. it was last reported with dcs 2.5.6
