Have any of you had any issues with some multiplayer missions causing the game to stop responding? I've downloaded a bunch of MP missions over the past few weeks and while some work without any problems, some others have caused Black Shark to lock up and stop responding on my PC. I've not had any issues with lock ups in single player mode and I know these are not hardware related lock ups since my voice comms still works and I can usually bring up the process list and kill the game.

Thanks in advance.

Just a stab in the dark...

Might be missions written in version 1.0? Not sure if there is any issue, mind.

Cheers!

Yes its happened to me as well. I think its trigger related. The patch bugged most Ver1 multiplay missions. If i were to re-install and had some regular flight buddies that wanted to re-install I'd probably go with the original release for multiplay. That way the nearly eighty odd multiplay missions I accumulated would not be redundant. Ive had more crashes in multiplay since the patch, than prior to patching.

If this is the case, perhaps opening each and every multiplay mission (or at least the old ones) in the mission editor and re-saving them might do the trick?

Negative, its something to do with the way the triggers are handled differantly from ver1. There is some comment on the problem in the DCS forums.

Thanks for the help guys. Yeah, I figured that most likely the problem was due to version incompatibility. Not all of my mp missions have locked up though so it just seems to be the luck of the draw or maybe the triggers in the missions that do work dont care about version number.
