can you provide rpt? Can you reproduce it?

I added RPT as an attachment.

It is re-producable, guaranteed crash to desktop. I asked around, friends who also play RHS Koth have experienced identical game crashes after dying in Ka-52 under gunner control, themselves in role of a pilot.

can you give some details how is it happening exactly? Is it like full destruction or does ejection of the crew happens before CTD?

Got an example uploaded into YT:

You can hear windows error sound on last second.

I have the same issue but for me it happens in i think every RHS helicopter. I know for sure it happens in ah-6 and mi-24s too.

might be worth checking if its not some Arma issue then ;)

I've done bunch of testing and failed to find any particular pattern, except that this crash nearly (it still did rarely) does not happen when GPU hardware video encoder is off and not continously running on background. (Me and my friend both use OBS Studio "Replay" function to record ingame incidents. Another guy having the issue is using Nividia's software [2 guys with Nvidia, me with Radeon - so it's not particular GPU or its driver either]).
Also, setting generous upper RAM limit (20GB) to Arma3 seemed to reduce the amount of hard crashes when I kept gpu encoder going.

toni, it doesn't quite happen with "any". I've never had it happen while using AH-64 under gunner control and dying for example.

Dunno, what to suggest. Consider it unsolvable and shelve it?

If there is some solid repo then perhaps it can be looked into. Otherwise, if someone would be able to reproduce it on vanilla helicopters then it could be submitted to A3 feedback tracker where it could be resolved.

I'll also add this: when OBS Studio was hooking entire screen instead of just Arma3 window, crashes did not occur either.

Okay thanks for looking into it anyway. Appreciate the hard work!
