DCS Crash playing mission DUSK

[Avatar72]

I've been going through the first campaign and everything was find until I got to the mission DUSK.

 

The game crash occurs anytime I'm making an assault on thr enemy base. The sun is going down, lots of fires going off at the base and then boom..crash. Its quite random and nothing I do seems to be the triggering point.

 

I have Vista 64 SP1 w/ 4 GB RAM and two 8800 GT Nvidia cards running in SLI. They Vid cards are on v. 7.15.11.7516

I'm also using a Saitek X52 Pro.

I read somewhere that a file directout with X52 Pro could be causing the crashes but is removing it a good idea for users of this joystick.

 

The crash file is attached

This is a long-shot, but have you seen if it occurs if you temporarily disable SLI? DCS:BS doesn't use SLI.

 

I'm not sure how it would cause it, but it's the only thing I could see there that seemed somewhat out of the ordinary, and the timing and WorldGeneral.dll makes it seem like it's somehow related to loading the display-oriented stuff for night.

 

You could also make a map of your own that is a night-map, see if it happens again. Then one that is in late evening, and see if it happens there as well.

 

Unless someone else has a better idea.

I was thinking it might be related to night time displays etc. A mix between explosions, continuous fires, night displays, lights Zooming in and out real close to the Shval so I can make out vehicles...

 

I know the other campaigns have the warning that they arent compatible with Vista. Although people have played them in vista, I'm wondering if there are similar elements to those campaigns that exists in the DUSK mission.

I would have no idea what they would be. but the Devs or missions editors might know...

 

I tried the missions again last night and completed it. I didnt even fly back home. I just escaped - quit after misson success for fear of the crash again. I still want to know what could have caused it. My FSX random crashing has turned me off to the game and I dont want the same thing happening for BS.
