Is anyone else here experiencing this like I am? If so, have you fixed it and how did you fix? I've tried a few of the recommended items but it's still happening. Here's the thread:

2.7.0.4625 Open Beta crash at second mission load

https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/267836-2704625-open-beta-crash-at-second-mission-load/

Actually I had this a couple times when 2.7 came out. But not this week end. I saw it more with the mission editor.  I was testing the new clouds and when I reload it would lock up.

Did some A/A refueling this weekend with the F-14 and F-16. Along with relearning the Mirage radar and weapons system with no issue. I was however using the instant action without the new clouds.

Hmm... yeah, I was modifying missions in the ME to add targets and the second "Fly Mission" would crash. I'll check it with plain vanilla instant missions.

Nope... still getting crash on 2nd mission.

I have had the mission editor crash on me a few times while working on things.  But they're mostly hangs, where I jump from some object to another and the game gives up the ghost.  This is a 2.7 issue, as it didn't happen in 2.5.  It almost makes me wonder if there is a memory leak.

What I would recommend is to deactivate all of your mods (if you have any) through JSGME or OVGME, and then run a full repair of the game.  That will at least ensure that there are no errors on that level.  And if the game keeps crashing, it'll be because of a game problem.

Here's how to repair if you're unfamiliar: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/repair/

After that, I would also delete the contents of the fxo and metashader2 folders in Saved Games.  Again just to be safe and ensure that there are no hangs.

After that, I'm not sure.  I think it becomes a Open Beta issue that they'll have to work out.

Sorry I'm not any real help.

Thanks Klai but sadly, I've already done all of those... looks like I'll have to live with it until ED comes up with a fix.

I figured you had. 🙃

The fxo, metashader2 and Nvidia cache were the 1st things I cleared when this happened.  I haven't seen the problem since. So it either helped or I haven't recreated the issue.

fxo and Metashader2 have been cleared. How do you clear the Nvidia cache?

I use these 2 videos to clear cache on my computer. The first video doesn't cover graphics but I like it because he goes a bit slower than the guy in the 2nd video.  The 2nd video is the one you want for clearing the graphics card cache.

 

Time stamped for Graphics.

 

Great info, Raz!
