Recently, my whole hard drive had to be reformatted (Had ja Trojan horse, I didn't get rid of... :wtf: ), so I also had to re-install FS. Everything seems to work just fine, but always anything bigger than a fighter, bomber, cargo unit or sentrs gun shows up in the game (both in-game and tech room), the game halts. Only music keeps playing. I already tried to delete the cache, but this didn't help either. Taks manager says "no response".
My system:
Windows XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3, v.3264 (Could this be the prob, I just had SP 2 before)
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+
1.53 GHz, 1.50 GB RAM
Using SCP 3.9.10
-
Run debug build and post the fs2_open.log file (found from the data directory)

Service Pack 3, v.3264 (Could this be the prob, I just had SP 2 before)
You know that SP3 5512 is the final release, right? 3264 is pre-release. See here (http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/12/21/download-windows-xp-sp3-kb936929-rc-v3264-self-extracting-setup-package/). How about getting the RTM (final) build?

Uh... the prob here is that I didn't do that. Was my brother, since he has much more idea of those things than I.
Here is the log:

So did it crash in the Techroom?

Put the MediaVPs in their own folder, labeled "mediavps".
I did, now it works - but everything looks like retail. That's why I always had the mediavps in the main directory. It always worked just fine.
So did it crash in the Techroom?
Both in-game and techroom, as I said.

That's what the MOD tab on the Launcher is for. Having non-retail files in the root directory is rarely beneficial.

Again: This worked nothing but fine before! Why not know? Just because of a new version of Windows?
Oh, and using the MOD tab on the mediavps folder doesn't work either.
-

Aye. FSPort will work just fine if you throw the files to your \freespace2\ folder. Just that it will cause problems with several other mods/campaigns that way.
Why not know? Just because of a new version of Windows?
Probably not. I've had success with FreeSpace, while having SP3 installed, hmm.
-
Aye. FSPort will work just fine if you throw the files to your \freespace2\ folder. Just that it will cause problems with several other mods/campaigns that way.
:rolleyes:
Did I say anything 'bout FSPort? The only non-retail files I have and always had in the main directory are the media_vps. All other mods are in their own directories.

:mad: :lol: No. But I did. You said that you can play while having the MediaVPs in the root folder. I said that you can also play while having FSPort in the root folder. It's just that neither of those scenarios are recommended.
Curiously, you said that you are using 3.9.10. I assume you mean 3.6.10. Which doesn't tell much since there are n+2 3.6.10 builds out there. What specific build do you have? And, have you tried 3.6.9?
-

The difference is that the media_vps won't cause any probs with other mods under normal conditions, and never have in may case.

Sorry, forgot about that. I'm using this built: fs2_open_3_6_10-20071028T.exe
-
Hmm. You said that the game ran fine without the MediaVPs. Therefore I shall impersonate Sherlock and state that the logical deduction is that either your 3.6.10 Beta MediaVPs are corrupt somehow or they are too big a strain on your computer. For some reason. You can try to redownload them or switch back to the 3.6.8 Zetas.
-
And get a more recent 3.6.10 build, that one is quite outdated.
It's beneficial to have the MediaVPs in a separate folder for in the future if you decide to install Blue Planet or Homesick or something.
-
Look in my sig and find the directions for calculating the checksum of the files in your FreeSpace directory.. then you'll have to have someone else whose copy works do the same, because the checksums I have are outdated (3.6.8 Z / 3.6.9).
EDIT: Nah, just follow the directions for posting your FS2 tree (directory contents).. that should be enough, as it will show the filesizes, which will probably have changed if they are corrupted. Then have someone check theirs the same way, and compare. ;) (Lobo?)
-
And jr2, 3.6.10 debug builds output checksums as well.
-
I have re-downloaded the media_vps and installed a more recent patch, and now it works. There is only one minor problem left (see attachments). I once had this with my old graphics card, because it only had shader 2.0. My new card (Radeon X1600/x1650 Series) has 3.0.
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
is there a commadline you can put in so that it always uses MediaVPs regardless of the mod.ini?
-
-mod mediavps
You can actually circumvent the whole mod.ini business with the -mod command-line parameter. Just throw it in the Custom flags field and enter the mod folders you want to use, separated with commas, hmm.
-
I dunno about that issue. It almost looks like ghosting, but it's too pronounced.
-
It seems to be an issue with high poly models and X1600 family cards for one reason or another...
-
... You gots the latest 8.6 Catalyst? I heard that's out now, but IDK. BTW, I have an X1650, I could test this on mine, I guess... (I was using an nVidia 7600-based card before)
-
... You gots the latest 8.6 Catalyst? I heard that's out now, but IDK.
Yes, I have that. Everything's up to date here... please don't tell me, I need to buy another graphics card just to play a game that worked perfectly before with right the same hard- and software. :(

I've heard that proper chipset drivers are also fun. Or something.

QFT, forgot about that. Ya, go to your motherboard manufacturer's site and download the latest drivers for everything.
