I'm having an error when trying to load the 3rd mission (after the opening cinematic and dream scape) of Blue Planet WiH part 3. I had no issue in the previous 2 missions and I have run through a few missions of AoA and The original WiH campaign on the Blue BPlanet build 3.6.17 without any issues. I've re installed all the dependencies I can think to install and am at a loss. I'm running on a 1gig Gtx 460.

I've also re installed the mod I think 4 times including once today before posting.

Sounds like your absolute filepath is too long. You installed FS2 too deep, like Promgram Files or something. Try C:\Games\Freespace 2.

I hadn't actually thought about that, moved it and now mission 3 loads. Out of curiosity is there any particular reason that other things run fine before that point?

[MatthTheGeek]

Given the file on which it chocked up, my guess is that you hadn't played any mission with a GVF Serapis in it.
