Author Topic: FS2 Open Crash: Battle of the Wilderness mission (Read 4253 times)

ShadowsAndDust · **on:** August 13, 2008, 03:43:25 am

Can someone please help me, I've downloaded the FS2 Open installer, and after a few frustrating hours, I finally managed to get it to work (somewhat). After multiple crashes and freezes, I have got up the the mission "Battle of the Wilderness" and just after I take down the Cain and Cancer wing warps in, it freezes, every single time at that point, then crashes the whole game. I've looked though some of the other topics to try and find a solution there to avoid wasting your time, but I haven't been able to make any progress. I have installed the lastest drivers for my graphics card (S3 Graphics ProSavageDRR) but I have only managed to get it to start on Direct3D, no luck with OpenGL since I can't figure out how to get 1.2. I'm fairly good at most computer-related things compared to most people, but I'm a total noob in this area of things. Some help getting OpenGL 1.2 or help making the game run smoothly without freezes or crashes would be much appreciated.

S3 Graphics ProSavageDRR

What on Earth is that? Or how long does it date back?

OpenGL is included into the drivers of the graphics card nowadays. So, in theory the proper way to get OpenGL is to install the newest drivers. If you've already done that, chances are that there is no longer support for that particular model. Therefore, getting a new enough version of OpenGL is impossible. If it's a tabletop rig, you could invest into a new graphics card. Or, if you have enough dough, do a more thorough overhaul.

As for the problem itself, it might be because of Direct3D. But let's try the usual method. Download the Recommended build for Windows users from my signature. Extract to \freespace2\. Select fs2_open_3_6_10_debug.exe with the Launcher and Run. Once it crashes or you reach the Main Hall, quit. Find fs2_open.log in \freespace2\data\. Post it here as an attachment or using the "code" tags.

When I try to use fs2_open_3_6_10_debug.exe with the launcher, it comes up with an error message that says:

Code: [Select]

The launcher must be in the same directory as the binary you are trying to use.
It is in the same folder.

Jeff Vader · **Reply #3 on:** August 13, 2008, 04:18:19 am

Remove launcher6.ini and try again.

ShadowsAndDust · **Reply #4 on:** August 13, 2008, 04:21:18 am

Still no luck =[

Jeff Vader · **Reply #5 on:** August 13, 2008, 04:24:51 am

And they're all in your \freespace2\ folder? It really should work.

ShadowsAndDust · **Reply #6 on:** August 13, 2008, 04:31:05 am

Ok, I've got it to go ( I think ) but it just crashes straight away and displays the OpenGL error message, even though I had it set on Direct3D

but anyway, here is the log you asked for

Oh, right. The OpenGL. Hmm. Try the 3.6.9 debug. It'll tell us a bit less, but it will allow you to progress with Direct3D. It's just that Direct3D is not supported by the SCP anymore and I think the 3.6.10 builds forcefully select OpenGL.

And switch to 32-bit colours. 16-bits are more likely to cause problems.

Hmm. I'm getting old. Can't see anything wrong there. Try running the debug until it crashes. Then post the new log.

That sounds a bit too obvious now that I said it out loud. Headache shall be my explanation.

I think I know the problem. Older builds have a problem with a wing jumping in when some fighters from the previous wave were still alive. Download the build in my sig and use that.

Dosn't 3.6.10 force OpenGL? That's what Lobo said anyways, and I can't get Direct3D to work with 3.6.10.

I think I know the problem. Older builds have a problem with a wing jumping in when some fighters from the previous wave were still alive. Download the build in my sig and use that.

He would have that already. I have a link to the same build in my signature.

Dosn't 3.6.10 force OpenGL? That's what Lobo said anyways, and I can't get Direct3D to work with 3.6.10.

Well, that's what I've understood. And as we saw with your first debug run, that's what actually happened. Maybe if Karajorma stumbled upon this thread. I have a faint feeling that I've heard him talking about newer builds where he's included the possibility to run in Direct3D for those people who just can't get OpenGL to work.

Would that be 3.6.11? And would you please ask him for me?

The builds I had which ran in D3D mode are the ones TBP and BtRL used and are basically 3.6.9 with minor fixes. Since I'm in a good mood I'll give compiling 3.6.10 a try.

Bear in mind that no one has compiled a D3D enabled 3.6.10 build in over a year and a half so I'm mainly doing it out of curiosity.

EDIT : Thought as much. 21 Errors and 6 Warnings (Mainly about doing unnatural things with booleans). I probably could fix most of those but it's simply not worth it as we don't support D3D any more.

To be honest I don't think you're going to be able to run FS2_Open on that graphics card. It's simply too old. That said there's always FS2 retail. Click the Freespace.exe file to run that instead. Not as pretty but it should work.

Aye. We've done all we can. Now it is up to you: either play retail or, if your budget allows, do some hardware upgrading.

Ah ok, oh well, thanks for trying anyways, I'm going to do a MAJOR hardware upgrade to a high-end system pretty soon, but, until i get that I would be happy to play retail but when I try to run it, it says that Freespace/fred2 cannot be run from a root directory, I don't get that on Open.

Jeff Vader · **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2008, 10:20:39 am

Are you absolutely, positively certain that you have all the retal executables in your \freespace2\ folder and nowhere else? The error message would suggest otherwise.

Edit: And do remember to run FreeSpace2.exe at least once. It is the retail launcher, and the game might ***** about stuff if you don't run it before attempting anything else (retail-related).

Disregard my last post, got it working 2 minutes later, thanks for the help though. You'll be seeing more of me when I get that upgrade, some of those mods look very interesting
