Got another CTD

[Ramses823]

A few days ago I posted about getting two CTDs out of nowhere but then for the past two days I have been flying with no problems but then I tried to practice shooting aim 9s and aim 120s and bam CTD now I removed my aim-9 skin mod and my aim-120 skin mod no problem then I ran a few missions with the mods back on and no problem whatsoever now when I got my first two CTDs a few days ago I didn't have any Aim-9s or Aim-120s on my jet so the mods could not have caused those CTD but on the first one I got I was playing around with switching different master modes and then I got a CTD then on the second CTD I was about to shoot down my wingman because he was taking a while to refuel and the shortly after switching to guns I  got a CTD and I also didn't have any missiles with modified skins on my jet these CTDs seem very random, I know this is a new jet in fact one of the best ever in DCS absolutely amazing job but there are definitely some bugs that need flushing out...

You need to provide crash logs.  Just posting about it really doesn't aid in reproducing or finding out what caused the crash.

Here is the crash log this is the first crash I have had since the 23rd and I have been flying the F-15E a lot over the past few days with and without mods, the problem seems to happen when I switch to Air to Air mode the last CTD came right after I fired a missile I replayed the mission as a test a few times again with no mods then I ran it with mods I couldn't get it to CTD , by the way the mods I am running are just skin mods to give the missiles a worn look nothing affecting any LUA files and again I  have flown multiple missions with and without the missile skin mods the issue seems to be randomly related to switching master modes or maby switching different weapons I'm not sure

Yeah, I don't know what to recommend there.  Best thing is just to be as descriptive as possible.  The PC rebooting almost sounds like it could be hardware related?  Not a dev so take that with a grain of salt.

WELL OK, I found one and Solved it!, My Sound Blaster Software was confusing the hell out of the sound in the game! I was directing it to my Digital Out!, I uninstalled the SB Suite and now my PC just knows to go to the Digital out on the SB Card! What lead me to this was a crackling in the sound just before the hard reboot! I just flew the same mission, rdr designated, switched to Tpod to refine designation and all was well!!!! Who'd have Thunk!!!!!!! 

Thanks for any help you can offer in the future, You may want to let people know about the SB Suite Software screwing with the F-15 Sound!!!!!

On the first crash I didn't have any weapons loaded just a ACMI pod I think it's called.. I didn't save that crash log file though because it was the first crash and I didn't think  it was going to be recurring. I just did a two hour flight with air to air missiles loaded and no crash like I said this is very random I'll continue to test things out if I get another CTD I'll send a crash report. Come to think of it on the first CTD I didn't have any air to air weapons loaded just a ACMI pod when I selected SRM I was getting a aim-9 tone couldn't  figure  out how to get it out of SRM mode at the time was my first flight lol... I'm not sure if thats correct  behavior with the tone though. now the test from the other day I think it crashed after either selecting the ACMI pod or maby it was the CAP-9. I didn't have sound playing at the time as it was only a test mission I was trying to recreate the CTD to see what exactly was causing it and I just didn't think to have my gaming headphones on but on the next test I will see if I still get a AIM-9 tone with only a ACMI pod if this is not correct behavior for the F-15E. whatever this is obviously it has something to do with the Air to Air weapons or the Air to Air mode.

 I think I may have discovered the problem I was using Oliver's CATM-9 mod and some how even in flights where the mod wasn't loaded on the jet, it must have been screwing things up,  I Uninstalled the mod and so far everything is good hopefully I  don't get anymore CTDs. I also  did a DCS repair and so far so good..

[Ramses823]

Well after further testing I completely removed mods, did a dcs repair and there is still a issue it seems specifically with the ACMI pod and that is the one common denominator in my CTDs but it's still very random sometimes it will crash and other times it won't, also with no Aim-9 missiles and just the ACMI pod I'm still getting a missile tone from the ACMI pod and when I hit stores jettison the ACMI pod is still on the jet with no pylon just hanging next to the wing with no pylon and I'm still getting the missile tone I also still see it on the stores page, I'm also guessing this is why in my dmp file it says weapons.dll crashed I'm no programmer but it seems like there is some kind of conflict with Aim-9s being differentiated from the ACMI pod and a overall issue with the pod since it won't even jettison it just hangs next to the jet with nothing holding it in place...
