Having crashes too when exiting splendid camera. Crash files uploaded.
Doesn't happen every time. I'm not taking screenshots as original reporter.

Has happened to me several times too. Also when un-pausing the game while in camera mode.
Using Arma 0.58.105348 unmodified.
The behaviour is not always reproducible.

I also have the same problem, if i remain in splendid camera for a while, when i exit from the camera, the game crash..

I was working in windowed mode, with -nopause option, and exiting the game window from time to time to write scripts or checking the wiki (the game remains in splendid camera while doing it).

Same problem in version 0.60.106070.

Very annoying.
Do you still need additional information?

Yes, because I am unable to reproduce in actual Steam version. Maybe it can be conflict with some mod.

What did you have in scene, when crash happened?

I'll try to reproduce it. I'll say report if if it happens again.

EDIT:I cannot reproduce it. Can someone confirm this?

The exact following steps reproduce the problem on my machine 9/10 times:

Download attached mission "Cameracrash.Stratis" (unpack) and open in editor.
Preview.
Switch to artillery computer.
Fire one shell (target does not seem to matter).
Exit artillery computer.
Press ESC -> Splendid Camera.
Raise your altitude to about z=100 by pressing Q (you should now see Mike-26).
Set time accelleration to 1.

Expected result:
Game freezes. Windows shows a dialog box "Arma3 Alpha has stopped working".

Crash happened in the camera crash mission even without time acc.

What more info do you need?

I wanted try with new repro steps, but mission doesn't work correctly in beta build. Can you please recreate mission or create new one for beta? Thank you.

I can't make a new mission where it crashes.

@wallside

Could you please make a new version of your mission?

I have not observed the issue since Beta. If nobody else has, I think we can treat this as fixed.

Does anyone have a similar crash?

I haven't seen this bug since the beta launched, so I'm assuming it's fixed. If I encounter it again, I'll create another ticket.
