Maverick Su-35S Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Hi, Dunno after what update this started happening, cause I know for a fact that an internet disconnection and re-connection wasn't doing this other times, but if you login with your account as normal, enter the game and load up a mission, be it single or multiplayer, if for whatever reason your internet disconnects, you will not be prompted with any error or anything just like nothing happened. You can remain disconnected for days if you were able to enter the game by online login with your account on the modern startup menu. But if your internet re-connects...BAMMM..., a CTD with an option to send the error report. So it only happens if you reconnect. If even for one second your internet has disconnected and then re-connected = CTD due to re-connection only. If you enter the game and play with offline mode, this issue won't take place. It only takes place after you reconnect to the internet when you have initially logged in with ONLINE mode. I have done the recheck of ALL files (slow work) at least twice hoping that the repair module might help find any issues with the files, but no. Nothing seems wrong with any of the installed files. Is this having to do with a sort of copyright protection or something which is made to prevent people trying to play DCS with unpaid modules and it affects everyone when the internet reconnects or is this happening only to me? I don't disrespect those who put unimaginable work and effort for these unique modules in this world in DCS, so I don't foul around with unpaid modules, so this is abnormal that these errors occur. Kind regards, Mav! When you can't prove something with words, let the math do the talking. I have an insatiable passion for helping simulated aircraft fly realistically. Don't underestimate my knowledge before understanding what I talk about! Sincerely, your flight model reviewer/advisor.
Actium Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Does it actually crash or does it quit with a Login session has expired popup message? I've reported the latter more than half a year ago: 1
Actium Posted October 3 Posted October 3 @BIGNEWY Reproduced. This is an actual crash (SEGFAULT / ACCESS_VIOLATION). Please move to Game Crash. Being naive and having suspended my computer while I had the DCS Mission Editor open, I accidentally triggered this crash.

Actium Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Thread wasn't moved, so I posted a new bug report in the Game Crash section: @Maverick Su-35S If you happen to have a crashdump, please post it there. 1
Maverick Su-35S Posted Monday at 04:45 AM Author Posted Monday at 04:45 AM Hi, It seems it was actually a files corruption thing! I mean at least I suppose so, because I've asked a friend of mine to try disconnect and reconnect his internet while being in a mission and he tried multiple times and each time nothing happened..., no crash. I later found out that the "SAVED GAMES" folder from the user was named "DCS open beta" while for my friend it wasn't. After deleting all old files and afferent folders and reinstalling all files (600GB+) using the web installed, it no longer does that thing. So, everyone should know that files corruption can happen even if the REPAIR FILES feature is used..., it doesn't fix it. Thanks!

Did you generate a new Saved Games folder? The only reason his Saved Games folder was names DCS.openbeta, was that he installed OpenBeta when it was available/named that. Because when you installed OpenBeta, it added a file called dcs_variant.txt text, with the single world in it "openbeta" in it. (If you want another DCS folder called "DCS.new", just create that file and put "new" in it). The reason I ask you, if you have a new Saved Games folder, is that a repair doesn't touch the Saved Games folders, and if you have errors in it, a repair won't fix the, but everything else. So one of the first steps in troubleshooting if a repair fails, is to rename the Saved Games folder. Might have saved you a lot of time. So, if this does not happen again, I would edit your post, and add text to the top, which highlights that the creation of a new Saved Games folder, due to corruption, was the trick, and mark that post as the solution. Because a reinstallation, is never the solution when one can do a repair. Excellent find though if this is the fix! Cheers!

It's the game that did things by itself over the years of updates. I had installed Open Beta when it was, then later on DCS's updated did the rest and voila..., it didn't take care of that folder, it remained named Open Beta and perhaps other files were messed up in the main game folder as well and we may never know exactly if it was only a file that needed replacement or a bunch of other. I've just reinstalled +500GB of game files and that was it. Now it works. No more crashes after reconnecting to the internet during a mission.
