Hm, guess it's another memory Issue, but the mission right at the end, when you faceoff against 3 basestars...the game keeps crashing.
Guess I should run it in debug mode to know what happens...

[Ace]

This came up in beta on systems with low memory. One solution is to try playing the mission at lower graphics settings. It doesn't fix the object count, but it does lower memory usage from textures.

[crizza]

And where is the limit for low memory?
Blue Panet for example runs smoothe on standard graphic settings and the mission crashed twice.
Once after the third basestar jumped in and then after the frigate went down.

[Ace]

Keep in mind our texture, polygon, and object counts are *MUCH* higher than Blue Planet...

I have 4gb of Ram and 512 video memory and M6 is stable. My macbook pro is also stable during M6. So consider those to be recommended figures.

[The E]

It would help if we had a) a log, and b) your system specs.

[crizza]

Uh...my build...
Intel I5 750
4.00 GB (2.99 GB for use)
32 Bit system
Radeon HD 4890

Will that do?

Are you sure it's a memory problem? I've had a number of crashes but they've all seemed like textbook hyperspace crashes.

One solution is to try playing the mission at lower graphics settings. It doesn't fix the object count, but it does lower memory usage from textures.

Be advised that you'll lose radar if you change the settings in-mission, though.

Same thing is happening to me, some times its after the third base ship jumps, sometimes its after the other ship rams the basestar

Sometimes it doesn't crash at all, but that might just be because I die before it can.

I actually have 2 6970s but when I took this picture I accidentally forgot to plug it in after cleaning the system.

[karajorma]

There is a debug version of the game that can be selected from the Basic Settings screen. It might help us if you can run that, get it to crash and then post the Diaspora\Data\fs2_open.log.

[Frak_Tastic]

Hey - I ran into this bug too, but I managed to beat it!

Try turning OFF these Advanced Settings:

Enable 3d Radar
Fix colour issues on some ATI cards

Once I flipped these flags off everything ran like a charm for mission 6.

Here are my system specs:


- Intel Core2 Q9550 Quad-Core (12MB L2 cache,2.83GHz,1333FSB)
- 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1067MHz
- Samsung 244t 24" monitor
- ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB
- Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer
- 750GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
- Windows 7 Professional w/Digital Cable Support, 64-bit

[karajorma]

Neither of those should have been on in the first place. Is anyone else finding that they are set?

[Frak_Tastic]

Sorry, I custom set them.  I found I had some issues with WCS and my ATI card, so I figured it would be a good idea to flag it.  And I wanted to see the 3d radar in action.  There weren't any issues with them until I hit M6.

Admittedly my box isn't much of a gaming rig anymore.  Probably time for a better Vcard and power supply.

[Ace]

The fix color issues being behind crashes for some people we should put into the main release thread with known issues.

[karajorma]

I'd like to hear some more confirmations before I put it there.

[An4ximandros]

I crashed on M6 as well, I was using an NVIDIA card though, i'll post specs later, I gotta wake up early tomorrow.

[The E]

The "fix color" thing is irrelevant. I can tell you with 100% certainty that it will have no effect on stability.

[Swifty]

This is a hypothesis but perhaps these crashers may be coming from the new collision detection code. You can revert to the old collision detection code by enabling a flag in the Troubleshooting tab in the launcher. Toggle that and see if you're getting the same issues.

[ryanbran87]

I seem to be crashing in M6 as well.  I tried running the debug version and it immediately crashes.  For me it seems to happen (most of the time) as I hear someone saying Krypter, Krypt*crash*...  My specs are attached as well as the log file.
