cannot reproduce Data link crash

[Hotpocket13]

I was in the Hoggit GAW server and was attempting to make use of the Data link page. When you get to the page that shows which flight numbers you want on the data link and dobber down. My game immediately crashes\freezes up and doesn't respond.  I went back in and tried again and same thing happened thinking it was a fluke. I Don't get any crash report tools that pop up. (Not 100% sure how to find said crash report).

The crash report can usually be found as a zip in C:\Users\<name>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs as a zip file.

Hi @Hotpocket13

Like @TobiasAsaid, we need something to go with. That log can have some answers.

Just remember that every time you load DCS it will renew the log. Just try to capture a new log if it happens again.

I've tried the DLINK page on the DED in multiplayer and had no issues.

Just experienced this crash too

please remove all unofficial mods from  C:\Users\james\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods

then run a slow repair or verify if steam and retest, 

if you still crash please attach the log again

thank you

Experienced the same. Only happens in MP when multiple people accesed the DED - Datalink page at the same time. Will try to get a clean track without mods.

EDIT:

Disregard, to us it seems like its caused by incompatibility of old missions with new datalink function. Some F16s have X0000 as TNDL ID in their DED page. In those, entering the DED page is fine. However as soon as dobbering down or up to make a selection the game lags, freezes and eventually crashes. Not clear how this happens. Some flight have such F16 in them, some dont. Cant offer mod-free files as i was unable to convice my squadron mates to un-install everything. As said, only happens in multiplayer. Hope this helps nontheless.
