fixed Game crashes since the last patch (22.02.2024) after switching to the AH-64D Apache

[Homelander]

Hello folks

General Remark:
This post of mine comes from the AH-64D Bugs section, it seems to me that my problem with the crashes is better placed in this section.

Since the patch of February 22, 2024, the game always crashes when I have destroyed a few targets with various jets and then switch to the AH-64D Apache. A trackfile was not created when the game crashed.

  Important observation:  
These crashes ONLY occur when I have destroyed a few targets with another aircraft and then switch to the AH-64 Apache. If I start the mission directly in the Apache, the game does NOT crash.

I recorded the entire mission (various parts were accelerated with the time lapse). I play with a resolution of 4k, but I recorded the video with 1440p, because otherwise the file would have been too big (the video file with 1440p is almost 10GB).

I played a similar mission without the MSI Afterburner and RivaTuner and the game still crashed. I have now taken the trouble to create a mission that has roughly the same setting as the one I usually play.

Mission structure:

• Destroy all enemy aircraft (with blue Group 01 - 02)
• Neutralize the enemy Patriot Radar with HARMs (ALIC 202) (with blue Group 10)
• Neutralize the Patriot position (with blue Group 15)
• Shoot down the helicopters (with blue Group 20)
• Destroy all SA-8 launchers (with blue Group 40 / 42)
• Neutralize the remaining SA-19 SAMs and Gepard AAA (with blue Group 40 / 42)
• Switch to the Apache and enjoy the crash.

My hardware is listed in the signature. I have uninstalled all 3rd party mods. GPU driver is up to date. If you need more data, please let me know and I will upload it here.

Edit: Of course I deleted the shaders.

Thank you in advance
Cheers Homelander

Hi, if it happens when you turn on the TADS, this is a known bug and a fix will be part of the next DCS update.

@Homelander It should be fixed with today's update.

No crashes so far since the new update.
