boerdi Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 Greetings, Due to the AI Tomcat freezes I stuck to MP servers without those units (e.g. Hoggit's Georgia at War) Just now I had a random freeze on GAW, a server which was never problematic in the past concerning game crashes. In phase 1 (when the freeze appeared), the server has no AI Tomcats (afaik). Although I spotted AI Tomcats in phase 2, they just pop up on the carrier deck and disappear again. I am not sure whether there are any "hidden" Tomcats somewhere or if my game/system simply has another problem. -> Here are the detailed log, track, Tacview and Process Explorer minidump files DCS Steam Edition Addons: Tacview and SRS No mods Prior to this, DCS has been started several times for MP sessions during the day without problems. Specs: i9-12900K 3090 Ti 64 GB RAM DDR5-5200 (MemTest: zero errors) Audio: Soundblaster X4 (USB) DCS installed on 2 TB M.2 NVMe drive OS installed on 1 TB M.2 NVMe drive Windows 11 OS and all drivers up to date (afaik)
boerdi Posted October 13, 2022 Author Posted October 13, 2022 And again a random freeze... same server, same map/phase... Attached log to this post and added everything else to the Google Drive link (Minidump, Tacview, Track...) Just like an AI F-14 freeze but there are none around. Hidden/forgotten leftover units in the mission file? Or has my system a quirk? Buzzkill deluxe dcs.log

boerdi Posted October 15, 2022 Author Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Hi The freezes are VERY random. Usually I can play without any hitch on MP servers, even flew a nice sortie yesterday on that server (launch from carrier, kill a ground target and couple of bandits, return home to carrier and land CASE I). And theses freezes "happen" and "feel" like those related to the AI Tomcats, although there are none present in the air at time of freeze. [edit] The install is also rather "fresh" But I did the integrity verification: no major problems. The process only replaced the lua files that include the default the airplane loadouts (i delete those entries to clean up the rearm screen) Edited October 15, 2022 by boerdi

Log (detailed) attached. yes a lot better. it could have been a hitch in the server i suppose. the first log just ended. you say a freeze? like DCS is stuck and you hear a sound looping? end task territory?

boerdi Posted October 16, 2022 Author Posted October 16, 2022 Yep, just like the freezes related to the AI Tomcat (c.f. this big thread with problem acknowledged by heatblur) Image freezes, ambient sound on loop and then the process has to be killed via task manager. Difference is that there are no AI Tomcats in the air. Or SHOULD'NT be. I don't know if there may be some hidden/forgotten AI Tomcats buried in the server's mission file. In phase 1 of the mission on the GAW server I have never seen an AI Tomcat, but in phase 2 there is one that sometimes pops up on the carrier deck.
