Dentedend10 Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Hi, I've been trying to complete the mission Cargo in the F14. First time I completed the objective, then when returning home and refueling, the game crashed. Ever since, I have not been able to make it to waypoint 1 before the game crashes. Sometimes it crashes upon start up, sometimes in the air. I have tried to turn off all overclocking on the PC, did not resolve the issue. Other aircraft do not seem to have an issue. I have already done a DCS repair and am running the stable version. Another bug I've noticed since one the the latest updates is that when I am doing Instant action CV1 recovery, the TACAN loses its range and bearing information when I am approaching the ship. Moreover, when hooking up to the catapult, I get violent shaking of the motion sim recently. I look forward to hearing back. Thanks Bug submit form, "ExampleBug": --- Bug: First time I completed the objective, then when returning home and refueling, the game crashed.

kaba Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hi, I've tried to reproduce this and can't - runs fine on my system. Afraid I cannot open the track you attached, it looks corrupted perhaps during the crash? Can you try and open it on your side? Can I check whether you have the same issue on any other mission?

Dentedend10 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hi Kaba, Thanks for getting back. I am attaching two track files. One where I got to the target, got killed on the way back - 45 minutes of gameplay or so with no crash. Second attachment happened at a later attempt - just heading to Wp1 the game crashed. Mission before this in the campaign worked fine. Only other campaign I have is the Zone 5 which has worked well so far. Thanks for the help. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BGdxALtE2hbEfw9zcFM1i0kRjQdYZ_xS?usp=sharing files were larger than 5 MB Alienware Aurora R10, Ryzen 5800X3D, RTX4080, 32GB RAM, Pimax Crystal, Winwing F18 throttle, VKB Gunfighter F14 Stick, VKB Modern Combat Grip, Logitech Rudder pedals, DOF Reality H3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaba Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I was able to reproduce this only once after about 10 tries - very strange! I've made some changes to what I think may have caused it.

kaba Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Thanks for trying - shame that it didn't work. Any chance you can share the dcs log file for the crash? Maybe a clue in there. Edit - does this sound like the same issue? Edited June 12, 2022 by kaba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure where to find any more log files - there is no crash file for today's crash, maybe as I had to exit via task manager? The only file associated with today's attempt is attached. The repeatable hang does sound similar - although I had the game crash after Wp1 as well. dcs.log.old Edited June 13, 2022 by Dentedend10 Alienware Aurora R10, Ryzen 5800X3D, RTX4080, 32GB RAM, Pimax Crystal, Winwing F18 throttle, VKB Gunfighter F14 Stick, VKB Modern Combat Grip, Logitech Rudder pedals, DOF Reality H3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaba Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Thanks - I've flagged to Heatblur as it seems linked to a few different missions rather than just this one. Apologies as I'm not able to do much else immediately - but please do skip that mission on the campaign menu so that you can move forward and play the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inf Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Hi. I'm having a new crash I haven't seen before, and am also on Cage the Bear - Cargo. Logfile attached. It seems to be related to when I quickly look around in TrackIR. No idea if it's actually related to the bug this is about, but I've only started seeing it in Cargo. dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe1978 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Sorry I´m not sure if it´s the correct place for post it: After finishing mission nº9 "interceptor", specifically when I return to the carrier, DCS always suffers the same crash; the picture freezes (although not the sound) and I see on SteamVR the message "waiting for DCS"... I'm just flying back, preparing for landing, etc... There are also several friendly aircraft flying nearby. It has happened to me several times more or less in the same place (close to the carrier). Could it be a mission issue?

JupiterJoe Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I too am having the same freezing issue with this campaign. Around 60 miles out from carrier, heading home. Has happened on multiple missions, but sometimes they play straight through with no problems. Here is a log from the latest crash. Hope it helps: dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the same between both modules, or similar type of weapon, it would point more towards that. Let us stay focused in this thread on crashes related to the Cage the Bear campaign. If this happens again, or if you can reproduce it, please make a separate thread with more information. Thank you!

Phantom1012 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Hi, I am also having game freeze on Mission 02 right after message that all targets are destroyed and going cold. Happened two times in a row. On DCS Stable: 2.7.14.24228 Edited July 29, 2022 by Phantom1012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarthogOsl Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 FWIW, I just started replaying this campaign, and got 3 crashes in a row on Cargo. First two were on the way to way point one. I thought maybe it had something to do with compressing time, so I didn't mess with the time on the third time. This time I completed the objective and was RTB. The game crashed just as I was crossing the coast to go feet wet. Also, I should note that I did one thing different from the first time I played this campaign last year...I equipped with the Lantrin pod and GBU's. Not sure that'd make a difference.

dggoofy Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Hi, I fly the Cage the Bear campaign and had several freeze and crash... I flew twice the mission 6 - Interception. First attempt : freeze and crash about 50 NM to the carrier. 2nd attempt : no issue. Difference between both flies : 2nd time I did NOT use F2 view key. Never. Flew all the time from the cockpit. Maybe the way to fix the issue. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mission 6 is the one where you intercept bombers coming over the border over-land, I also had that crash while on the way back to the carrier and I was cycling through external views.

суховей Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Had the same problem. Updating the graphics card driver to the latest version helped. I have nvidia. UPD. Unfortunately, on mission 7, the game froze again during recovery. Edited August 27, 2022 by суховей Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe1978 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I just tried the mission 9 again. I did not use F2 or other external view funtions. Again, when I was returning to the carrier (near the cost), freeze, crash and message "Waiting for dcs" Asus Rog Strix Z390F, i9-9900K, 64GB Crucial DDR4/3300, RTX3080, NVMe M.2 980 Pro 1T x2, SSD Evo 860 1T x2, Seagate Barracuda 1T, Seagate Barracuda 6T, HP X32C, HP Reverb G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
