yeah, me too, but it works if you turn off everything except shiney maps, glowey maps, jpg/tga texture support, and ALL experimental.

even then, it runs very  S L O W.

i think it has something to do with having 4 seperate VPs...

oh, and you gotta use either retail FS2 or inferno build, as the agamenmon has too many textures for FSO to handle.

[edit] and use 'loads only used weapons' unless it crashes continuously when someone fires a weapon. that flag saves a fair amount of memory (enough, at least)

[aldo_14]

Try a pre-HTL version of FSO; CoW was made for 3.5 or something pre-HTL, so I never anticipated the texture issues (and the damaged model of the Ag has a particularly stupid amount of textures).  The only toggleable FSO feature it uses, AFAIK, is glowmaps.

Albiet you should still run faster in 3.6 with all those textures than you would in retail, so that seems odd.

NB: can you still disable htl in the command line?  That might help; it doesn't need the htl polycount limits.

[Grimloq]

i dont think so


uh, the agamenmon has like ~20 different texture maps on it. it crashes the texture limit. polycounts are OK. so long as you use the inferno build and disable some of the options (or get a bunch of RAM ) then youre fine. BTW, the agamenmon doesn show up till mission 3, so you can play 1&2 before you get inf build.

I played through the entire first chapter. ntgm1r, you probably have a sucky computer. I got CoW to work. You need to get a RAM optimizer or something.

Aldo: It does this when I try to enter a mission:

Error: Out of memory.  Try closing down other applications, increasing your
virtual memory size, or installing more physical RAM.

Sucky computer my ***...it does that, but it still runs as long as you let it alone and just go back into FS2 instead of staring at the error.

[Cobra]

Use the reatail FS2.

[Grimloq]

(first post of 2nd page! )
[edit] DOH! beat to it...[/edit]

hmm... weird... i have 256MB RAM. it works for me (barely). just go disableing everything except shineymaps and gloweymaps.

if that doesnt work, then im out of ideas.

the COW missions and MODs seem to be quite momory-inefficient, actually...

[Cobra]

OK, then, face it. I have a higher grade PC.

[EDIT] I type perfect and I'm fast. Teach yerself sometime.

[NGTM-1R]

I doubt you have a higher-grade PC. I think the INF build just doesn't like it.

Retail just CTDs without even giving me an error.

[karajorma]

Not surprising. As Aldo said COW requires FS2_Open to work.

[pecenipicek]

so does *ANYONE* know why inferno crashes on mission2?

[karajorma]

Does it give you the same error ngtm1r posted?

No, it doesn't.  It should run fine on retail, but (it appears) it doesn't run on FSO post HTL implementation[/i]. i.e. it worked fine on v3.5

The only FSO features it uses are glowmaps and glowpoints AFAIK.

i don't know about memory inefficiency; it's probable with Agamenmons textures, though.  There should be at the least a lo-res map pack for the fighters, planets, etc.

[karajorma]

Really? I seem to remember it being the first FS2_Open only campaign.

Oh well I guess the mind's playing tricks on me

[pecenipicek]

right..
oh the error? no its something with the bloody kernel32.dll

[Grimloq]

hmm... you using the inf build? on mission 2, it should work with 3.6. worked fine for me.

[pecenipicek]

i cant even play it with SCP. where is that patch for SCP?

[Grimloq]

prolly sitting in about 500 pieces on somebodys comp...

dont worry, theyre remakin inferno totally.

still, the original R1 is pretty good...

[Cobra]

I use 3.5.5 and it works.

You're half right - it was the first campaign (released campaign) to use FS_open features.  But they were added in after a lot of work was already done (i.e. story & missions had been set, etc), so it was really just artistic stuff.
