Japanese WWII units dissappear after destruction since last DCS update

[Ithronwise]

Hello,
found a strange bug (not sure if it is already known, didn't found any other threads about it):
Since the last DCS update Japanese WWII ground units (and only those) disappear after destruction. Dead static objects of the same ground unit types placed on a map are not visible after loading the mission.
Track file is attached, a short (cutted) video can be found here:

To be sure it isn't an impact by some mod or script I tried it with a virgin Saved Games folder with the same result.

 

EDIT: An addition: in dcs.log appear the following lines:
 

2025-08-18 16:55:04.018 ERROR   TRANSPORT (Main): ShapeTable shape not found TYPE_89_I_GO_DESTROYED
2025-08-18 16:55:04.020 ERROR   TRANSPORT (Main): ShapeTable shape not found TYPE_98_KE_NI_DESTROYED

No reaction by the team? No "we are investigating it"? No "you're holding it wrong"? No other user that can or cannot confirm the issue (see track, Combined Arms is needed)?

As far as I was aware no WW2 Japanese assets have officially been released yet. If these then are unofficial mods you will garner no support from ED as third party unofficial mods and any issues there with are not their responsibility.

My mistake, I had forgotten a selection of IJA ground units had been included.

First, remove any unofficial mods and run a repair then test if the issue still exists.

If it does then I would not post in this Bugs and Problems thread as this is for issues with the map itself; I would find either the Bugs and Problems thread for AI units under the DCS 2.9 section or try the similar store as under the WW2 Assets Pack sub forum.

I already did all these things (and I also wrote it) someone should do if he is facing a bug. I used a virgin Saved Games folder, removed all mods from core, did a cleanup and repair with "check all files" and "search for files after repair". The destroyed japanese units/static objects are definitively gone since the last DCS update. Before, they were there (I played the same mission before and after the update).

Yeah, maybe you're right. But they came with the Corsair, so it is a little difficult to decide to what topic the bug report belongs to.
