Title: PC instability after using FRED
Post by: Iain Baker on November 17, 2024, 11:59:15 am

Hi all. I’m having technical difficulties that are making modding a challenge.

I can run FSO fine.

I can Run FRED fine – although it does take a long time to load.

The problem is that if I close one and open the other (for example – to test the changes I just made in FRED) FSO become unstable and either takes aaaages to load or fails to load at all. If I touch any key, mouse button etc. I get the spinning blue ring of death, and I often have to re-start my PC to fix it. It appears to affect trying to launch other stuff too – such as launching steam.

Has any one else had these issues, and if so, did you manage to fix them?

I have shown my system specs below:

Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊
