Supercarrier not working entirely - Sim PostStart

[AceDuckling]

After the latest patch in December, carriers have not been working for me at all:

In missions containing any carrier, the carrier is simply removed, and if I create a mission in the editor where I spawn on it, as soon as the mission is fully loaded in I die instantly, even before the briefing shows up. I have repaired the entire client twice now, and the problem still persists.

Some advice would be greatly appreciated

Remove all of your mods, run a repair again and then try it. 

Some mod apparently breaks the ships, as multiple users before you had the same issue like you described with mods installed.

I have the same issue. Supercarrier missions are not working, I tried to uninstall the module and to reinstall it, but no joy.

Also the repair procedure didn't work at all.

Please help us to fix this problem, it is very disappointing.

Mods?

Do what I wrote above you, especially the "remove all mods" part.

It's probably the SU30 mod and remember you don't have to have the MODs active in your mission, simply having them in the MOD folder will cause problems.

I'm going to uninstall one by one my mods, I will let you know. Thanks in the meantime.

Not official modules; I’m talking about unofficial aircraft or assets that are made by community members and available for free as modifications to the game.

Sometimes an individual mod can cause game functionality to break in specific cases; other times it can be down to a specific combination of two or more of these mods as they rarely get tested together.

It could explain why you alone seem to be suffering this bug, which is why we ask.

Yes, I would not suspect of an official module.

I had only two unofficial modules, the VSN F-104 and the FTV MB-339.

I deleted both of them (included their directories), executed a repair procedure but unfortunately nothing has changed.

The loading stops at about half of the process (at the Sim Post Start stage), then a window says the program doesn't respond.

Update: it seems that the Supercarrier standard missions are somehow corrupted, instead when I launch a mission with SC saved from Mission Editor, it loads regularly. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Supercarrier module with no luck.

The easiest way to test is to rename your mods folder to something else like MODSx then load the game and the see if everything works ok

And is your version of DCS current?  There was a bug a number of versions back that caused TCN ranges to be very limited.

Doubtful that it's a DCS issue since no one else is reporting it (and I had carrier TCN at 80-100 nm in MP last night) so it's something with your install or machine.

yes it is, DCS 2.9.2.49940.

I think too that is an issue with my pc, but can't manage to figure out how it happened and how to solve it.

Always a good start to upload \saved games\dcs world\logs\dcs.log here.

Thanks. This is the log when it crashed while loading a SC mission (Landing Case I in Caucasus theatre). The same occurs with the other SC missions.

The program always stops to respond when reachs the Sim PostStart phase.

Thx, no mods indeed apart from SRS - a safe one.

Any reason you're not using MT version? Try to run \bin-mt\dcs.exe .

Your page file is only 4GB - can you please set it to 32GB?

Similar errors caused by some static heli on the deck (SH-60B in your case) may be a bug that is not resolved yet - any update @Flappie @BIGNEWY ?

Hi, 

certainly worth increasing your pagefile to at least 32768 MB (initial size).

Your windows OS seems to be out of date also, try a windows update. 

 

[diamond22]

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try to increase the pagefile size and to search for Windows updates (It's setted it in automatic mode and it says that everything is updated ).

I will do some testing and report here the results very soon. 

[diamond22]

I resized the pagefile, checked for W11 updates, started the program in MT, tryed to load a different SC mission, but unfortunately the result is always the same..

Could it be a damaged area of the hard disk? I don't know what else to think.

Edit: I read the other thread (Sim Poststart stuck: a sudden bug), and I see that other guys faced my same issue, so definitely I'm not the only one, there's some static object that create this error. In fact, if I load a SC mission created by me with the mission editor, everything goes well.

Can you attach your dxdiag also, and are you sure your windows is up to date? it still showing in the log as outdated.

RM click on the Windows logo, select System, check Windows specs details.

Yeah it seems the windows version in the log is still

This seems related to the Sim PostStart bugs posted in the 2.9 crash forums as well, as myself and others have this same behavior only with supercarrier and/or related static tugs and deck personnel. These are all the same/similar issue, perhaps a merge is in order? With all the threads separate I notice different troubleshooting methodologies in each which might make it harder to find the solution.

Yes, that's the current version of W11 on my pc, anyway the Windows update page doesn't report any update to download:

Yes, undoubtedly a bunch of very similar segnalations... I would recommend to the SW developers of SC to investigate deeper for a fix.

You should click the blue button to check for updates. It probably won't help with the bug but you have to update this system.
