Game crashing when mapping controls

[Turd Ferguson]

As the title says.

I'm unable to map more than one or 2 controls before the game freezes and I need to restart it.

Once I've done that as soon as I go into the Controls menu either from the main menu or pause menu it'll freeze again and I have to close down again.

 

I restarted my PC this afternoon and was able to map a couple more controls it's just frozen again.

Again I restarted DCS went into the controls menu and it froze again.

 

I'm using a Quest Pro headset

I don't know if this is relevant but Controls wise it's a Warthog throttle, Virpil CM3 base with a Warthog grip and Virpil Collection pedals, i've got 2 Total Controls MPD's plugged in too.

Are you also using VR?

I bought the F5 recently but hadn't used it yet so gave that a test and was able to map it without any problems so just affecting the F4

Are you guys using virpil equipment?

[Turd Ferguson]

I'm using a couple of Virpil bits yes

I had this issue several times already -- but only when playing online on a server. I had no issues in offline mode. As soon as you enter the UI for "adjust controls" ... CPU usage seems to spike (mouse movement stutters) and DCS freezes.

I had the same issue. What fixed it for me was updating the virpil software and all virpil hardware firmware. I was running the old soft things fell apart with certain aircraft. No more issues after doing what I mentioned beforehand.

Yes. Virpil HOTAS + Rudder pedals ( updating to latest Virpil Software [20240323] and still the same issue ). Re-tested on Flashpoint Levant Server. DCS freezes immediately.

Similar here.

on looking in Task Manager, 2 of my CPU cores were maxed out.

i tested it in both VR and monitor mode

[Turd Ferguson]

Updated the firmware but still the same issue.

I believe that I've found a suitable workaround.

Within the Controls section, there's a tickbox called "Foldable View".  Enable it and only expand the section that you need to rebind.  That has solved what was a major issue for me.

I was having the same problem with accessing controls. If I waited long enough it would respond. Foldable view helps.

YES THIS WORKS. THANK YOU !!!

Just to say this again. Me and my buddy had this issue, that the foldable view solved. But when we updated the software AND all firmware separetely for all virpil devices. It was simple but annoying to do, because you have to do it one by one. But that fixed the controls menu issue for me and my buddy.
