Oh yeah, so the problem was determined by Sigma to be that there is a fatal crash error in the Tibetan expedition file that occurs when playing as Germany (the work-around is ofc to play as someone else for a day, let it fire, then go back to playing as Germany).
Hmm. Odd. I wrote that event for ARMA. It's possible I suppose that the 'afghanistan' picture wasn't carried over into the DH event_pics folder, but I don't see why not.
