Thank you for your feedback sir! This is important, you are already the third one who has addressed this bug!
I suppose I will be able to come back with some solution from ED only after Christian Christmas, after January 7th.

Thank you. Best wishes for the New Year.

Sorry to add to the pain. M07 Top Secret.

Very similar to those reported. A crash at the same point. No mods. No add ons. Repaired. Repeated same crash.

For me it occurred at waypoint 2. When I command George to scan for the target, it crashes.

Thanks, best of luck.

Yep, that's what I started putting together as well. It seems to have to do with George AI and having him scan for targets. I think just about all my crashes across the affected missions happened when having him search for targets.

Hi~

Same crash in mission 5,6,7 and i think more mission.

The Gunner says " de-slave" a crash occurs. 

Several mission same crash.

Hi, I am on my 3rd attempt on Dam Offensive. Each time in the mission when Clearwater instructs me to cover them as they push into the objective I get a CTD around the same point. just wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience? All other missions, or any other freeflight etc, no CTD.

Hey! That sounds unusual. I recommend verifying the integrity of your DCS files.
Are you using any explosion mods, effects enhancements, or similar modifications?
I'll run a test, but I can tell you for sure—the mission uses standard triggers, no scripts, or any complex systems beyond what the triggers are designed for. It should run stably.

Send me your log file, and I'll try to determine why the CTD is happening. The log should contain an entry with the CTD timestamp and the cause.
I’ll also test it on my PC. 
Thanks for your feedback. If I can reproduce this issue, I’ll find a way to fix it.

Looks like its a DCS problem, I'm getting constant CTD on any SP, campaign mission now. Tried a repair and files removal no joy, might consider a reinstall, unless there is any other fixes you might know. Thanks anyway.

I have standard methods before reinstalling DCS.
Remove third-party mods, check files via DCS updater.
Reinstall the game if these methods do not help.

I re-installation is no different from a full slow repair, except a completely waste of time. That's what the Updater does. Installation, repair or update. So, if a repair doesn't work for you, the problem lies elsewhere. Maybe in Saved Games. To get DCS back to vanilla, full slow repair plus rename the Saved Games folder. That's exactly the same as a complete wipe. Mods in Saved Games are often the culprit. Latest mod that broke things for me was Taz1004's "Better smoke". CTD every time I made something burn.
Apart from that the only CTDs I've ever had have been due to OC of the GPU.
Cheers!

 Thanks for that, I am starting to think my GPU was temp limit reached at 84c, then shutting down. I don't have any mods installed and I removed all the other files on a full repair yesterday. Been running DCS with the PC better ventilated this morning no CTD so far so good. Cheers again for the help.

Thanks for your tip, sir! I'll take it into service!
Reinstalling 3-4 hours for me is really a waste of time, in my case, working time))

Problem: I mentioned it before but the AI call outs are stepping on the voice lines and pushing the messages away. For example Mission 5 AL-TANF I had to pause and read the message history to see what is happening. I know we're supposed to tune to freqs but until this AI radio issue can get fixed can you just use the voice lines triggers as a SOUND TO ALL or GROUP so we can turn down the radio volumes. We don't need to hear the AI reporting. If not because it would cause a whole mission rework, totally understandable as I make missions as well.

Yes, Tom, thanks for your feedback!
This is a problem that I can't solve.
More specifically, my DCS does not reproduce this error.
I advised everyone to disable AI dialogs in the Options menu until I solve the problem, but I still can't figure it out and reproduce it.
This is the only reason I still haven't fixed this annoying bug.
And I can't figure out what it is related to, since I have AI dialogs enabled in the options, but I don't get this error.

I will figure it out in April, I promise.
Your advice will work! And in my first projects it was like that, I used SOUND FOR GROUP.
But now I use more realistic radio communication, as well as my colleagues. It is correct, and more realistic.
But sometimes it causes problems.
In the WP menu for each unit there is a trigger DISABLE WP REPORTS.
Now my plan is to set this trigger on each repeater unit in each mission.
I will update all missions in the next update, and after that I will write to you, hoping that this bug will not happen again.

That's the thing. I have the AI Radio Speech off.

Could you compare your settings with mine.
I have retested most of the MAD and OUTPOST Apache missions and have not been able to reproduce this bug.
nullAs you can see, AI radio speech is enabled and I still don't see this bug.
If you don't mind, post your DCS log file here so I can compare it with my DCS.

Tom, I've contacted the ED team, your case is not isolated and requires a more detailed report.
I need a track of any mission in my campaign with this issue.
This will help find a solution faster.

[STONE SKY]

Friends, everyone who has a problem with constant AI reports, as described in the messages above, please send the mission track here for a detailed study of this bug.

Turn off AI Radio Speech.

Turn off Allied Flight Reports.

If you turn both of them off you should find there is no "AI call outs are stepping on the voice lines" at all. 

I am up to Mission 10 with no problems with the AI Radio Speech.

This is why I couldn't reproduce this bug. My DCS has Turn off Allied Flight Reports. I didn't see this before! Now I can fix it for sure! Thanks for your help! It really helped a lot!

Good day to all. IMPORTANT INFO on the problem with constant AI location reporting.
In general, I was unable to silence the AI using the editor.
It does not report WPs, but it constantly reports that it has occupied the holding area.

But one user reminded me where this function is turned off and on in the DCS menu.
SETTINGS - GAMEPLAY - Turn off Allied Flight Reports.
SETTINGS - AUDIO - Turn off AI Spitch

This is the only solution now.
I will forward the information to the ED, and supplement the instructions for the campaign and other campaigns, for the convenience of users. Enjoy the game everyone!

Yeah it was the gameplay allied reports. Just checked and that solved it. Weird because I don't remember this being an issue on other campaigns. I'll start the recordings again.

Unfortunately, this is a UAV problem.
I thought that the drone looked very logical as a repeater. This is Reaper.
I never thought that Reaper would ever start telling everyone about its location every second.
This is clearly some kind of BUG, I hope ED will pay attention to this.
