Hi guys,

I'm really looking forward to playing this game, but I can't get through the first mission.  The game crashes every time, although at different points in the mission.  I've never gotten further than following drone 2.

Any advice as to how to fix this?

Debug log.  Directions are in my sig.

Thanks for the help.  I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for.  I couldn't find FS2 Open Launcher like your directions show, but I did find fs2_open_diaspora_R1_debug.exe.

When I ran that I couldn't even get into the briefing, but it gave me this:

If that isn't want you want, I would appreciate some other instructions.  Clearly I am inept at this.

Thanks again!

Just click No to that one. Then you should get to the real error.

[cynicisminc]

So I did that.  I clicked "no" to two errors before getting to the briefing.  I got further in the mission than I ever had before, and then it crashed to desktop, and didn't give me any info.  Forgive me if I'm wrong, but Jr2's directions do not seem specific for the Diaspora build.  Exactly what file should I look for?  I used all the default install settings for Windows 7.

[cynicisminc]

So I found the fs2_open.log file.  It's longer than 5000 characters so I can't post it here.  I've attached it instead.  Thanks again, guys.  You are doing fantastic work.

I suspect it's due to your Intel graphics chip. They're simply not powerful enough to run Diaspora. You could try turning off GLSL from the advanced features -> Troubleshooting section of the launcher to see if that helps though.

[cynicisminc]

I'll try that, but I don't think it's the problem.  Multiplayer works fine.  Will report back shortly.

[cynicisminc]

Hey karajorma, thanks.  That got me through the mission without crashing.  Oddly enough, now the audio stutters.  I'll check the forums and see if someone found a solution to this.

You guys are all fantastic!  Thanks so much!
