RA MH-60R issue

[Ghost Dog]

So I recently did a clean install of DW and then RA and whenever I try to use the MH-60, loading gets to 90% then stops responding. Missions, quick Missions, anything. All other platforms seem to work fine, even other helos. Any ideas?

Update: it works only sometimes. It seems like missions that random elements might be the cause? I can't be sure. I was messing around with it to get it to work: different loadouts, different missions. I usually do a quick mission or MH-60 Demo. It seems to work about 15% of the time? I'll get a string of lock-ups, then finally it will work for a mission maybe two then back to lock-ups.

tested quick missions:
taiwan
ASW Datum

6 fails
1 success

something that gets generated is causing it to fail. not sure what, but possibly a common platform/vessel.

another update: problem also happens with Ka-27. I wish I could tell the RA guys about it, but I can't seem to register for their forum. It seems errors are what they do best.

I haven't any problems with playable helos in RA.
Have you installed version RA 1.50+ patch 3?

Btw, I remember, you declared that you didn't want to play RA mod without resolving 3d models licence problems. As i know, Julhelm never contact with Crazy Ivan (he never replay to CI e-mali). Is it means, your declarations were only empty words?

[Ghost Dog]

Yes I’m using patch 3. I’ll do another reinstall today and report back.

As for your last part…I have no idea what this is. I’ve never commented about 3D models???

Hmm i thought you are Ghostdog688 (nick from YT). Sorry for my mistake if you aren't this guy.


:salute:

[Ghost Dog]

No, i'm not that guy. I use a different name on youtube.

update on Helo issue: reinstalled DW, installed RA 1.50 and patch 3.

same issue as before, fails to load most helo missions. I'll post a video shortly.

Stil can't get it to work.

more steps I've tried:

1. reinstall DW and install RA but DID NOT install patch 3. still happens.

2. tried various compatibility mode settings. still happens.


Event Viewer shows error with the exe itself time stamp consistent with freezes:

This might be my final update. Since I feel like ive run out of ideas.

Here's what else I've tried:

1. new steam install on different physical drive. same error

2. CD install (yes I have physical copy of DW) into different directory. DW 1.04 works fine. RA 1.5 fails when using helos or air. as per before

3. added DW exe to exception list for DEP (data error protection), still freezes.

Try to delete all files ending with .lod from the main directory

Try to delete all files ending with .lod from the main directory

I deleted all .lod files and no change. Missions with helos and MPAs still crash. Submarines seems fine. Still can't explain it, very strange.

They just uploaded a "new" patch 3. It helpt me with some crashes but not all

[Ghost Dog]

this patch has been out for some time, has it not?

[swampy]

Sometimes they are updating it. The latest was released 11 jan 2022
Probably not going to fix this problem though :(


Edit: 1.51 is released

Just ran into this same problem. This "works" with P3 as well.
