End of Mission 5 Error

[DimSim]

Got an error and crash after Mission 5.

Likely caused by DCS rather than the campaign itself.

After landing on mission over, I chose Quit from the menu.

The game did nothing for an unexpectedly long time, then showed message:

"Can not open debriefing file" over a black background. (attached)

I don't remember if I pressed OK or ESC here, but it then showed (something like) "Are you sure you want to quit, progress will be lost".

I did hit ESC then, in order to re-try mission exit.

After that the screen went entirely black and nothing happened. I ended up using Task Manager to terminate the app. No bug report dialog appeared.

Possibly an issue at your end if it took so long to quit/crash.  There is a debrief error that can be the mission designers fault (if using certain words/symbols used in lua) but I don't think this applies here as the mission hasn't had any sort of update like this recently.  If it happens repeatedly might be worth posting your logs and I can ask someone at EDs end to take a look.

Thanks for responding.

I did not save any log files. I skipped that mission rather than repeat and successfully completed Mission 6 with no problems.
