unable to reproduce CTD when adding FCR & Using TADS Video Feed

[Nightmare22]

I'm getting a instant CTD under the following conditions :

• Multiplayer
• Cold Start
• Adding FCR in Weapons loadout (Along with Rockets and Hellfires)
• activating VID / Tads Feed from Pilot Seat

Hot start - No issue

No FCR - No Issue

Reproduced 3 consecutive times, and reported each time.

Hey @Nightmare22

I followed your instructions to the letter and couldn't reproduce the error.

Please make sure you're not using any mods as they can cause conflicts and even crashes if not updated.

You can also try to delete the Metashaders and FXO folders on your Saved Games/DCS Folder to allow it to recompile.

If the problem persists, please share your crash log so we can have a look a it.

Same here. No issues - at least in SP.

@Nightmare22 Could you please record a track stopping right before the crash?

[Nealius]

Can confirm TADS issue over multiplayer, cold start, without FCR attached, VR, however it happened 3 hours into the session so the track file is most likely not useful for debugging. Immediately upon selecting TADS after assigning a target to George, application hang.

Fortunately a crash/dump file was created in my case.

I have 100% exactly the same issue.

Same, multiplayer, cold start, aircraft already armed, take off start flying, TSD on right MFD, go select TADS video, instant crash.

Not happening everytime, just a pain when it does.

GrayFlag Syria server.

Just an update to everyone, I still can't reproduce this issue. 

We'll analyse the supplied crash log above. Thanks.

Guys, can you remember - what did you doing before take AH-64? Which A/C? FLIR?

[MrEdgar84]

Before taking an AH-64, i was using fixed wings. For example F-16, F-18 or AV-8B. Sometimes with FLIR, sometimes without FLIR.

F-16 with LITENING for me.

This is an infinite loop that can never be fixed.

In multiplayer, my ah64 FPS is below 15.


This is a native dcs engine and cannot be fixed

For me it’s the opposites. 
cold start works much better. Getting 45-60 FPS. Until I turn the TADS on and then 5 FPS. Frustrated to say the least on the inconsistency from day to day. As long as I don’t turn on the TADS.

Finding this same issue with crashing on selection of TADS on the left MFD.

MP server, fly F16, switch to Apache, hot start, no FCR, rearm with L type hellfires 

[Heliflyr]

I get the TADS crash as well and its not just isolated to cold starts but Hot starts too.

One time during a cold start on the The COOP 80s server, DCS crashed during a cold start. I activated the TADS before the camera was ready to display an image on the right screen. As soon as the camera was ready to show an image on the display the game crashed. I don't remember if the FCR was loaded. 

The game just crashed again.

1.The COOP 80s server

2.FCR loaded

3.Hot start

4.Game crash activating the TADS from Pilot seat.

I have also had a game crash from he CP/G seat when I activated the TADS on the center display.

I have the same issue in Multiplayer and reported it but accidentally put it in the main AH-64D forum.
Can my thread be merged into this one please?

The current update (DCS 2.9.4.53549) has ensured that this error no longer occurs for me. Everything now works as it should. No more CTD. Many thanks to the ED team! Good Job!
