fixed [MT] IndirectLightVolumeModule Crash when changing slot in multiplayer

[Diesel_Thunder]

Other than the cannon rounds, I didn't have anything loaded on the pylons for that test.

My typical combat load would be the cannon, 2x Ataka tandem HEAT on the outer pylons, R-60 Aphid missiles on the center pylons, and the S-8 rocket pods on the inner pylons. If it's a heavy ground assault, then I'll replace the Aphids with another rack of Ataka ATGMs.

[Flappie]

OK. I asked because the Mi-8 had a similar issue a fews months ago, that was caused by GUV pods.

I'm trying to reproduce the crash and I'm happy to know I don't need to rearm.

[Flappie]

Please attach your options.lua file (from Saved Games/DCS.../Config).

@Flappie

Here you go. I've attached both my normal settings and the ones that I set for the test that I did earlier.

normal options.lua test options.lua

[Flappie]

Crash reproduced!

It seems to be caused by an option. I'll see what differs between our options.lua.

Awesome! Wonder what it could be?

One of my favorite sayings when it comes to troubleshooting, we're not only trying to find what it is, but also what it isn't.

[Flappie]

I'm having a hard time to reproduce it a second time. My CTD happened with Pretense Caucasus mission. I'll keep trying.

Anyway, it's now reported internally.

[Flappie]

Confirmed: it does not happen to me when I create my own mission. But my second try on the Pretense Caucasus Mission made DCS crash again.  This should ease devs work.

[Diesel_Thunder]

That's pretty much where I've had the crashes as well. Pretense Caucasus and Pretense Syria. Also had this happen in Foothold Caucasus too.

It happens alltime and you even can choose the slot you had before. A Mission we used for MP or when i use the same Mission as SP.

Going down, want to refly  > crash

Using the Hind and i had to come back into the same mission, there are no DCS crashed, when i use several other slots with other AC or Helis. Only trying to come back with the Hind it leads to a crash of DCS.

Also you can not fly training missions with unlimited waps on. it will not lead into a crash, but it does strange things. 

F.e. i loaded 4 times a rocket launcher and these are working, but you can release only 1 pair of flares and that is all and that is only one example. Several things will not work regarding weps loadout.

Due to we also fly several selfmade training Missions with several Aircraft and Helicopters, we only have this problem with the MI-24. 

Not good for testing out several stuff, if you alltime have to go back to homebase and need to rearm.

[Flappie]

@JG11Preusse The present thread deals with crashes. If you want to report some other issue with the Mi-24, Please create a new trhead and attach a DCS track demonstrating the issue(s).

[Deimos]

Same here. i switched from tactical commander to the Hind and got a frozen screen .........again

@BIGNEWY Unfortunately the marked solution seems to be only temporary

After updating to the latest openbeta patch the crashes are back.
Same behaviour

Logs and track below as always :

Even worse news :
the previous fix of letting dcs rebuild another dcs.openbeta folder in saved games doesn't work anymore

Got a crash after rebuilding the entire folder

@Drangoll please ensure windows is up to date and all drivers to see if it helps, run a slow repair of DCS also

Windows is up to date.
Only GPU driver is not the latest one (not old , I did update it last week)

Anyway..now I've updated to the latest gpu driver.
Run a slow repair
Rebooted the system but still got a crash

@BIGNEWY @Drangoll This is a global issue. Everyone has it. It's reported (tag added).

thanks. 
Hopefully will be fixed soon

Despite mentions of memory leaks fixes in the latest open beta patch.. mi24 still crashes in multi-player when changing slot

This time crashed at 2nd attempt to re-slot in another mi-24

Log & info as always down below

The issue is still reported internally. I'll add your crash log to the internal report.

It also crashes in single player missions made for multiplayer. you also dont need to change the position, just hit "flay again" and then choose the same f.e. pilots slot and the game crashes.

It is not only a MP problem and not a switching positions one.

Yep , now I get crashes even in SP

[ACS_Dev]

For what it's worth, I was experiencing crashes just like the ones described every time I re-entered an Mi-24 (specifically as CPG) on Rotorheads a month or so ago. The first time I slotted in on the server all was well but if we went down or otherwise reslotted I crashed reliably when we respawned.

I forgot about it until seeing this thread because, interestingly, since then I have been playing SP and on MP missions I built with my friends and I have not experienced the crashing once. I have flown many hours and reslotted several times with no issue. Many of those times where in missions with other human-piloted Mi-24s.

[Thoraxas]

Could you give us your working mission files, so we and ED can test the issue at hand there?
