fixed Monochrome Map on AMPCD during Cold Start after Respawn

[boerdi]

Greetings,

This happened during MP sessions.
Was able to replicate in SP (c.f. attached track and log files).

After joining a server, the first cold start progresses normally.
The second cold start suddenly shows the monochrome map.

Created a mission with two spawn slots (No 1: Hotspawn on catapult. No 2: Cold Start on parking)

- Select slot 1 to hotspawn
- Then select second slot
- Respawn in Hornet
- Regular Cold Start
- As soon as AMPCD screen turns on, a monochrome version of the background map is shown

DCS Steam Edition
Current Open Beta 2.8.4.39313
Multithread Build

Prior to the test I also removed unofficial aircraft mods and ran a file verification (which found no errors)

Wait what? Marked as "missing track file"? There is one attached to the opening post...

And tagged as "remove user mod files"??

That means, if you have any mod files installed removed them, after that run a slow repair and cleanup and then try again. Cause such thing is not happening to everyone, they didn't notice any issues with it so it may be something on your end.

So that was not enough?

Ok, forgot to remove Tacview and SRS (since these are so vital I didn't think about them as "unofficial" mods)
Double and triple checked to make sure that everything is vanilla.

And ran file verification in Steam, again.
Like first time everything has been validated correctly.

Set up a new mission, this time not on carrier but Kobuleti airfield.
With two client slots to simulate respawn.

Result? The same: Monochrome map on AMPCD during the "respawn" cold start.

New track file and log are attached.

[edit]

added the mission file

Seeing the same on Caucus with Foothold mission running on server.  Mods obviously and I don't have a track file, but you're not alone in seeing this.

Hi all, 

sorry I have been away all weekend, I have checked this and have reproduced. Seems to happen after a hot start for me when switching to a cold start aircraft. 

I will report 

thank you
