Well, if I got this correctly the cause for the crashes for the DAT PTO carrier mission has been found by Charles, it seemed to be an issue with some effects files. But since I don't even have that mod it's unlikely that this is causing my problems here. Not to mention that I don't have any inflight issues as far as I can tell, it's just the menu windows were I run into trouble, but since it's intermittent it's kinda hard to say with what exactly.

On top of that it's also fair to assume that no installation is like the other here...and mine is a mess really.

It would be huge step forward though if it were possible to reproduce these freezes, because I have none of the issues Piecemeal has...

EDIT:

TK has released a hotfix....flown a few campaign missions....no issues with the Loadout or Map menu,

For the record, I just had freezes accessing the Loadout and Map menu, but also when trying to edit a mission using the editor. I have a hunch that it has to do with a mod, but I'm at a loss what it could be. No freezes during flight so far, but then again I haven't been doing much sightseeing lately...

Does it happen even with a stock install, so one that has not been modified in any way? (not fast enough)

Because it seems like the latest patch has introduced a number of freeze issues, which are however infrequent and occur in different situations.

I guess we need a pinned thread that is called "July 2013 patch freeze issues", otherwise there be numerous threads all over the place if this goes on.

What did the Jul 13 patch do? My installs are running perfect. Yes they are heavily modded.

Guess you're lucky then because I'm having infrequent freezes when accessing the Loadout or Map menu, either during Campaign or Single missions. The fact that they are infrequent makes it even harder to grasp what's wrong with it. 

Hello and welcome.

Unfortunately once you have applied the update you can't simply uninstall it. You could reinstall the game, if you still have the original installers, however, you can't get an earlier update from the SF site.

Also, as some people have already reported having issues with the latest patch, do these freezes occur with stock aircraft and weapons or do you have 3rd party mods installed as well?

Re: Custom Campaign

Took the Desert terrain, modded a stock campaign and about 20 minutes later:

One of many Farmers went down 

Two words: Custom Campaign

Bomb,s away.

 

Early WIP.

Planning a family there, i.e A,C,G,S models?

D, F &,G as well? 

More Griffon Spitfires than I expected....feels like Christmas. 

RIP

It's a shame that this info isn't available for all cruises and not always complete (see Vietnam era), but otherwise it's indeed a great source.

IIRC TK has stopped releasing templates after WOE...not to mention that most DLC release so far were pretty much just new skins as well.

That's what I made before I started doing my own decals....I also added some 3rd party skins into the mix.

I always found it difficult to get together an air wing that would have matching tailcodes.

Maybe it was a Crusader in disguise...

I'd like to to see a high-viz Long Beach, but I would also take an Albany Class cruiser. I also think that we could use a bit more ships that are more like 50s/60s designs.

Battle of Britain Memorial Squadron, Typhoon replacement...endless options.

Still, it would be nice if they find some of the Spits and bring them someone back into the air.

Obligatory ODS screenie...

Random Carrier shots...

converting the Kiev into radioactive vapor...

Happy B-Day, Wrench!

A belated Happy B-day, Dave!

So, I suppose a few Aircraft launched from the U.S.S. Nimitz during The Final Countdown event and fled to the UK?

In that case they would have went back in time twice!

Pfft, I'm pretty sure it should be common knowledge already that bad things happen when you grant the AI access to nucular weapons.

I´m planning to rework the Dart for the latest SF2 level.

Good news!

Can you say pucker factor?

 

In Soviet Russia MiGs chase you!

I'm completly aware of that, but that hasn't anything to do with the size of the finnumbers & the placement of the F 11 Badge that was my biggest "concerns".

That's what the editor is for.
