Freeze and crash 5 seconds after starting mission

[HarroG]

I was playing the Tempesta sull'Africa campaign, the first 2 missions worked flawlessly. However on the third mission the game freezes and crashes 5 seconds after the mission is started (just when the engines of the AI start to turn over). I've tried verifying the files. And I have even tried completely reinstalling the game. The log.txt file is empty. I have noticed the same issue in the first mission of the "Gravity is my friend" campaign, I haven't tried the others. I am wondering if this problem is unique to my system or if it is introduced in a recent update.

I had a similar event the other day with a Hurricane campaign following the latest update, sat in the cockpit and pressed the engine start key and that was it, I could not operate anything to log out so just switched off at the mains.

I tried another campaign following a re-boot and all was okay, with that mission out the way I went back to the one where I had the crash and it worked okay that time.

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Tempesta sull'Africa Mission 3 worked flawlessly on my side.

Try to flush your cache folder after each update (Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache).

Tempesta sull'Africa mission 3 now works, I didn't change anything as far as I know. However mission 1 of Gravity is my friend is still crashing. Flushing cache didn't help. This is really strange behaviour. But thanks for the help guys.

 

Edit: I'm now stuck at the last (6th) mission of Tempesta sull'Africa. Same issue. But now the log does show something, not sure if it's usefull. I have updated my Nvidia drivers and deleted the cache again, no luck. I've also tried pausing the game and wait for 20 seconds. But as soon as I let the game run and the ai start their engines, it crashes.

 

Edit 2: When loaded in the mission I slowed down the time for a minute, and now it doesn't crash. My CPU (i7 4770 3.40GHz) probably coudn't load in stuff fast enough. Still this is probably something that needs to be fixed, but at least I've found a temporary solution. I'll leave this up for anyone who has the same issue.

 

Edit 3: When playing the Rats over Turbuk campaign the same thing happens on mission 2, and slowing down the game does not help. The mission worked perfect one time. But after I restarted it does not want to run anymore. I wish that the log file showed more information because I haven't the slightest clue of what might be wrong.
