I don't know what can be wrong, as many versions I try to make HTL working crashes. They all crash at the same point: When a hi-poly model is loaded up. Low-poly models(under the polycount of 1000) load up correctly, no trouble. But it crashes when a model of more than 1000 polies should be loaded.

I have a GeForce 4 MXX440, with 64 Megs, no AA, OpenGL, Direct3D, any resolution, DirectX9.0.

Any of you ran into this problem before?
[EDIT] Damn .. I mistyped the thread title again.

You are remembering the -htl flag I assume

[TopAce]

Yeah, it doesn't work with it. Neither without it.

[karajorma]

Which high poly models are you trying? Are they all your own or have then been tried with other computers?

[TopAce]

One of the models I tried to make work in my HTL version was tested by someone else.

I doubt this may be the problem.

[karajorma]

Catch me on ICQ and I'll send you something I know works. Then we'll definately know it isn't the model It's quite easy to change something and break FS2.

Have you had a look at the tables BTW? If you've changed them it might not be the model that's to blame.

[TopAce]

I really don't understand it.
It suddenly began to work.
FSO is as mysterious as the Ancients. At least for me

Not the first instance I've heard of FS_Open suddenly start working. 'Tis in deed mysterious

[color=cc9900]So long as it doesn't suddenly decide to stop working, we're all fine.[/color]

[diamondgeezer]

Now you've gone and jinxed it

I thought it is only me, for who FSO works berserk.

I can confirm that as well as IceFire. Wing Commander Saga uses high poly models (around 1500-2000 polys at least) for capital ships and it has been reported that the game crashes in the tech room if the game has been started in htl mod.

[IceFire]

Yup...certain models seem to crash the game.  Standard FS2 ships and BWO ships modeled to FS2 standards are fine....but some of the WC: Saga vessels are crashing big-time.

[Tolwyn]

because our models are high poly? (means over 1400 polys)

[Bobboau]

probly becase your doing somehing weird in your moddeling (lots of textures, lots of submodels, lots of intersecting submodels, ect)

[Flipside]

Did you ever do that Debug build that told you which ship was causing problems with the Ships.tbl so I could carry on trying to hunt for this bug, I think the problems I am having are related to this, theres still seem to random crashes and my VRam is doing some really wierd things when FS2 Boots.

[TopAce]

Are the FS_open_d versions the debug ones? It is funny because I was working hard to make it work. And I failed to do that
I donát think the polzcount may be the problem: The Star Wars model I tested was 3100 polies.

[Flipside]

Hmmm....  When the Debug wouldn't start, was it saying why?

the weird thing  'cause on some pcs the mod works, on some it crashes and on some it works, but awfully slow.

In non-htl mode the game works without problems (well, except the fact that the frame rate can no longer be considered playable and that on a Radeon 9700Pro)

as for the debug build: this is what it reports:
