Ya, just set your FSO exes to run with the NVidia in your control panel. Unfortunately you'll have to remember to do this each time you get a new exe.

If you want to be sure it works just remember your debug log tells you loud and clear what GPU you're using.

Thanks a bunch, General Battuta. But the game crashed after the third(?) mission, where we have to defend Rheza Station.

Debug log attached.

And I couldn't find a way to set my graphics card so that my computer would use it when I ran FSO. Checked out the NVIDIA control panel, but it only lets me manage 3D settings.

Well this looks like a novel FSO bug introduced by one of the recent nightlies. Niffiwan, any idea what's causing that?

[niffiwan]

Sorry, no ideas spring out at me from my look at the log 

Cornix - which nightly build are you using?  And can you test if the problem still occurs on an earlier (or later) nightly?

edit: actually, this & the others below it seem a bit unusual, not sure what's causing it though...

Code: [Select]

AUDIOSTR => ErrorExit for ::Create() on wave file: bp206cb01
Failed to load "bp206cb01.ogg"


[The E]

Caused by voice acting references in the mission file, but no actual voice acting files present. Which is nothing to worry about, really.

I'm using 3_6_19_NO-SSE-20130326_r9607 (not sure if that string of random letters after is relevant,) and I haven't tried another build yet.

I ran the game on debug for one mission, then switched back, and the game didn't fatally crash again until I after I finished Delenda Est. I did notice before that there were missing skyboxes (guessing nebulas, since all I saw were stars,) and that it would crash if I tried to click on a Solaris during the briefing before Delenda Est.

Log attached.

The stars are a skybox. Were you able to see Saturn in Delenda Est? If so the skyboxes were rendering fine.

Hmm, well portions of the background would show up as simply black in previous levels -- I could see Saturn fine, but Luna City was on a field of pure black.

[General Battuta]

Luna City's terrain isn't a skybox, it's a giant ship. It sounds like your GPU may have been having trouble with some of the larger textures?

[MatthTheGeek]

Code: [Select]

Max texture size: 8192x8192So he should be fine on that front.

But still, you should definitely be able to use your nvidia to play FSO. You should just have to manually add the exe to the control panel. Are your nvidia drivers up to date ?

Am I still using the Intel HD? Balls.

I think they're up to date, but I'll check... What do you mean by "adding the exe to the control panel?"

[The E]

He means using the nvidia control panel to explicitly tell the driver to switch to the high-performance GPU when FSO is started.

I mean here:



I need to install an English Windows pack on this laptop.

I get this when I try to run WiH. I have FSO, the latest version of BP, the right mediaVPs, I used the provided installer and followed the instructions to the letter. Any idea what's going on here? Sorry if this problem has been solved already somewhere in the thread. I looked but didn't see anything that helped. This is my first time trying to mod the game so I have no idea what's going wrong here.

[General Battuta]

You almost certainly missed a key step in the instructions - which is hardly your fault, there are quite a lot of instructions. Please post a debug log (run the debug build, post fs2_open.log) and we can solve the problem in a heartbeat.

[The E]

First of all, you should get one of the builds from the build repository thread. Second, you should use the debug build to generate an fs2_open.log and post that here, that'll tell us what's going wrong in greater detail.

[Fien]

Sorry to have to ask this, but how do you put the log in the list that I see throughout this thread?

Alright, it's in the attachment. Thanks for being so patient with me.

[General Battuta]

Okay, you've made some really important (but understandable - the process is confusing) installation mistakes.

You installed Blue Planet to FreeSpace2/BP. You need to aim the installer at FreeSpace2.  You cannot have your Blue Planet files in FreeSpace2/BP/blueplanet2 and FreeSpace2/BP/blueplanet. They MUST be located in FreeSpace2/blueplanet2 and FreeSpace2/blueplanet.

Similarly, your MediaVPs are not installed correctly. Please go to the MediaVPs thread and reinstall them in FreeSpace2/mediavps_3612.
