Ever since the April patch I have been unable to play this mission without the game hanging and having to be forcibly terminated.

Take off from the carrier, heading toward WP1. Climb on mil power at 15 degrees to 36,000 ft., then reduce throttle and cruise at approximately 220-240 kts. At approximately 20 miles from WP 1, the game will hang. The issue seems to occur when changing external views, or moving my head rapidly (using opentrack). This is 100% repeatable on my computer.

Logs and mission file are attached; I cannot obtain a track.

Hi. I cannot test your mission since it needs the CIvilian airplanes mod. 😐

Sorry -- I removed the 2 airliners that I had added for traffic when I saved it to "test.miz" before posting, but I missed a fuel truck. Here is the same mission, with that truck removed.

I tested this one and also got the hang. Possibly relevant, there is a trigger when you get to within ~ 20 miles of WP1, that tells the CAP there to RTB.

Thanks. I'm able to replicate your issue. While I was struggling with my Tomcat (I'm a RIO, not a pilot), I suddenly realized my flaps where down in F2 view.

And then boom, eternal freeze. I was ~77 km away from WP2.

My log ends like yours, except for the SOUND warning because I haven't waited long enough (the SOUND "slice" warnings come when DCS has a hard time with the CPU being too busy).

Have you tried removing the trigger telling CAP to RTB?

Do you own the Hornet? Someone else says his mission does not crash/freeze when replacing the Tomcat by a Hornet. That would be a good test.

 

Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Already tested the F18, and that works,  only repeatable in the F14  (have just posted same on the Heatblur section).   I am so happy others can replicate this !  And I wish I'd asked you guys before I spent £120 yesterday upgrading from 32GB to 64GB Ram to make no difference (other than to my wallet).  🙂 

I thought the Liberation Triggers might be the cause - but then why only the F14?  (unless it's checking for that).

Edit:  Have removed all triggers and trigger zones from the mission.  Still crashes in exactly the same way.

I just replaced the player flight with F-18s and tried it, game is again hung at 23 miles from WP1. This is not specific to the F-14.

I am sure it is. Try replacing all F-14 flights by other modules (player and AI). I bet you it won’t crash then.

Please note that there are multiple recent threads pointing out to issues with the F-14. ED even replied to one noting they are aware something is wrong and are still unsure if it's really just the F-14 at fault. That being said, a lot of people seem to have DCS freeze when flying the F-14.

Windows 10-64bits, i7-8700k, GTX 1080Ti, 32 Gb RAM, MSI Monitor 32in 165Hz.

I'm having a hang sometimes when I look around quickly too. Usually when I'm looking right to check on my wingman. In the F14, using TrackIR.

I too can confirm game freeze/hang enroute to WP 1.

Moreover, if I simply replace the F-14 AI flights with another AI aircraft (F/A-18C lot 20 in my case), then the mission plays out as intended (even if I'm flying the F-14).

The game freeze definitely seems to be related to an issue with F-14 AI.

Can you please post your system specs and game settings? Also page file size please.

We want to know as much as possible so we have a chance to reproduce it as close to your circumstances as possible. So far we had issues reproducing the freezes at all. Thank you!

Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage.

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X on a Gigabyte X270 AORUS ultra gaming motherboard, Radeon RX5700 XT, 32 GB RAM. System runs stably.

OS is Windows 10 (home) 21H1, build 19043.2130.

Graphics driver version is 22.5.1.

DCS options file is attached. These reflect that I run with Tacview, SRS and the A4 installed, but I found this issue reproducible with a renamed "Saved Games"/DCS.openbeta to run cleanly. I have not found any change to the graphics options that helps.

Page file info:

I'd be happy to provide additional information, let me know if you need anything more.

options.lua

Also -- originally I thought this might be related to changing views or head-tracking, but I no longer think so. The freeze happens even if I'm doing nothing in my cockpit.
