Solid_84 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Hi, I'm playing the campaign for the second time right now and flew mission 2 right after 2.8 dropped. I'm getting a CTD when I'm on my way home after destroying the targets on the island. It happened 2 times now when I was flying towards waypoint 11. Would be nice to know if someone else is experiencing this or if this is a problem on my side.

First report I've had but I'm aware the other campaign devs are seeing some CTDs on 2.8 so think there is a wider issue out there.
Solid_84 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 I tried 3 more times now and DCS always crashes at almost the exact same moment, when I'm reporting to Overlord, that I'm RTB. Doesn't seem to matter how long I'm taking to get to this point as I can either only destroy what I'm ordered to destroy or expend all of my ordnance.

Sorry to hear that, I'll see if I can reproduce and if so I'll report to ED - this will be a bug introduced to DCS core in the latest update. If you are able I'd also encourage you to make your own report as well and provide the crash log if able, in case I cannot reproduce.
ChillNG Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 Could not reproduce, if anyone else experiences this crash please let me know.

Thanks for looking into it. I'm beginning to think that it must be on my end..or ED's. I had some hope that a complete reinstall might help, but it crashed again. Same thing happens to me in the next mission...crashed while finishing off the launchers. I have no idea what it could be.

Are you on the latest OB, after todays hot fix? Plus any mods installed? Edited November 2, 2022 by ChillNG

Yes I am and it is a clean install with no mods installed... It's just so strange that the crash in M2 always happens at almost the exact same Moment after contacting Overlord on the way to WP 11. EDIT: It wasn't the next mission that also crashed, but M4. I could fly M3 without any problems. Edited November 2, 2022 by Solid_84

Hard to pin down if I can't reproduce, if you can recall the exact moment it happens, dialogue etc that could be useful and I can try a make version with a modified trigger.

The last thing I'm able to do is contacting Overlord after being handed off by Whiplash. That is after all targets including the EWR have been destroyed. I then turn toward WP11 or am already flying towards it. After the answer from Overlord it's usually a matter of seconds (or miles towards WP11) before DCS crashes. I've never managed to actually get to WP11. If I get the time I'll try some other things tonight with changing gfx settings and not calling Overlord right away. I had a very similar problem in baltic_dragon's R1 DF campaign, but there it was experienced by multiple users and can probably be attributed to the F14s. Thanks again for all your efforts! I really enjoyed your "Steep" campaigns. They're both top notch when it comes to believable procedures and immersiveness. EDIT: I just read that your Harrier campaign will be releasing soon. Time to dust off the module and get to learning the plane again:) Edited November 3, 2022 by Solid_84

I did wonder if was F14 related as there are two Iranian F14s active at this part, but they aren't the Heatblur model, they're the years old version from ED. If you do try delaying Overlord and the crash happens really close to whenever you make contact please let me know and I can try and pin it down further. 1

If you do try delaying Overlord and the crash happens really close to whenever you make contact please let me know and I can try and pin it down further. I finally managed to finish the mission:) I'm sorry to say it wasn't a perfect test, because I changed two things at the same time, but I'm fairly certain now, that it wasn't one of your triggers that led to the crashes. The first thing I changed was setting the preload radius to the max value because it was suggested in another thread about crashes in VR. The second thing was holding off on contacting Overlord until I had reached WP11. What makes me think, that the increased preload radius was what did the trick, is the fact that at the usual distance from WP11 when I'd expect the crash to happen again, my Reverb did act up a bit missing a few frames and messing up the view angle, but it then stabilized again. Thank you once again for taking the time to address this and trying to help me out! Looking forward to both your Harrier and the F16 campains.
