Hi guys, I'm new to FreeSpace2 and I have a problem (please help me solve this)


I have an Intel laptop, 1,7 ghz, 512ram, 64 mb gfx card, with everything up to date, graphics ok, windows xp SP3 installed

I installed the game from the FreeSpace open Installer posted in this site. It took me a lot of time to install (my internet is not that good), but finally it finished. Its everything up to date.

I followed the instructions, changed the EXE to C:\Games\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_3_6_9.exe, configured everything and started the game.

Everyting was fine....graphics ok, sound ok, I watched the intro movie, started a new campaign and when I was starting to get happy with the game it crashed....

It happened when I try to start the training session....I heard the instructions and them it crashed....I tried again and crashed again....I runned the installer again and everything is up to date.

Reinstalled OpenAL, changed video config and nothing seems to solve the problem...

PLEASE....HELP ME...I WANNA PLAY!!!!

I have the error log...should I send to Mantis?
Thanks guys, and congrats for the really good work here.

Show us the error log. Also, run the debug build of FSO, and when it crashes, post up the debug log as well. Finally, can we have a screenshot of the contents of your FS directory?

[Jeff Vader]

1. OpenGL. Not Direct3D.
2. If your OpenAL installation is corrupt somehow, follow the instructions on this thread.
3. Under the Launcher's Audio/Joystick tab, make sure Generic Software is selected.

It might be mighty useful if you posted your fs2_open.log. Open the Launcher and select a 3.6.10 debug build. Run the game either up to the point when it crashes or until you get to the main hall. Quit, find fs2_open.log in \freespace2\data\ and post it here (preferrably as an attachment or using the "code" tags).

[Stormkeeper]

I need to remember those 3 points ... They're probably the main 3 causes of crashes.

Here is the log guys....

find fs2_open.log in \freespace2\data\ and post it here (preferrably as an attachment or using the "code" tags).

Switch to 32-bit colours.

Try updating the graphics drivers. (It is an Intel graphics card, after all. *shudder*)

Try the recommended Windows build in my signature.
