Mission 3 and 4 crashes

[Sandman1330]

I know there are a lot of crash threads, but none that I've found have specifically mentioned these two missions.

Yesterday, Mission 3 kept crashing consistently at waypoint 8, just as it transitions to the RTB phase. After 4 attempts, skipped the mission.

Today, Mission 4 crashed on return to the boat (20NM out). 

It sounds like the AI Tomcat bug (game just freezes up, no error message, no crash log, just frozen), but I hadn't seen it mentioned in any other threads for these specific missions yet.

Anyone else, or am I alone on this one?

@Sandman1330 try to disable the F-14 mod in the Module Manager, many people reported this solved the CTD issue for the campaign.

Oh cool, will do, thx.

No dice. F14 disabled in mod manager, still crashed on Mission 8.

So I don’t know what to do. Maybe I should take the campaign out of DCS store until it is fixed… I am honestly getting fed up and don’t want you guys to feel like I sold you a broken product, because it used to work when I submitted the campaign. Ask 10 different people that tested it.

Well to be fair, do we know yet if 2.8 has fixed the F14 bug? There was a possible fix in the change log. I haven’t tried missions 3&4 since the update.

Sorry for my outburst earlier  I haven’t heard anything specific about the thing being fixed, so I assume it hasn’t. Some people say that disabling the F-14 module before playing the campaign (not uninstalling, just disabling) helps, but it is hardly a sustainable solution… I’ll keep talking to ED and trying to find one.

No worries, I understand your frustration! Mine has been showing lately too.

This was in the F14 section of the 2.8 changelog, so here's hoping...

null

Guess it remains potential at this stage...
