DxDiag won't be helpful because FSO is now OpenGL-only.

Can you run a debug build and then attach fs2_open.log (found in the data folder)?

Oh, thx. Here it is.
getting this kind of errors before the game completely crashes

Resolved the issue. I ran the installer again which redownloaded some of the game files and updated them. Yay!

[kaloonzu]

trying to interpret the last 50 posts.....does it even FUNCTION on the 3.6.9 or .10 version of FSOpen?

[Mongoose]

There's no reason why it shouldn't.  And there's no reason why anyone should be using anything older than 3.6.10 final, anyway.

i am aware this is the wrong place to put this, but I can't get mantis to work for me, so, here goes: on the mission to escort Governor Mekembe (immediately following the mission in subspace), at the end of the mission, where all the pirates hav been destroyed or jumped to subspace, his shuttle continues to hit the station until it destroys itself, failing the mission for me. this has happened twice now. anyone else had this problem?

[kaloonzu]

I never noticed this before on several missions: Rather than jumping to subspace, you can instead fly to the fighterbay of your respective station. When there (and the mission is finished), the mission will come to a close. I felt this made the feel of the given mission much more like a real operation (if that's possible for FreeSpace in combat). I wish more campaigns would do that. Makes me think of playing TBP...

Yeah, its a cool little gimmick. First saw it on Blue Planet. nothing cooler than docking with a superdestroyer in combat

There used to be a patch for this on this thread. If you can't find it, I should be able to PM you the file.

got it working, u hav to apply BOTH patches (the original DerelictPatch + the DerelictSCPPatch, both .vp files) Hope this helps any other people with this problem.

Doubtful.  This question has been asked and answered about a dozen times throughout this thread, but very few people look back a few pages to see if the answer is available.

If they really want an answer, they'll dig a little (I hope). I really don't know if an entirely new thread is necessary for the one fix that finally worked for me.

My retard sister pressed the "skip Soc loop" button before I could start soc mission 2  
any chance of playing the soc loop without need of restarting the campaign?

if not then spoilers for those missions would be awesome too 

[Dilmah G]

What the hell was your sister doing on Freespace?

And sorry, I don't think you can play the SOC loop without restarting campaign. Oh and btw, www.hard-light.net/wiki , if you go on there, you can find the campaign walkthrough, which contains SOC mission spoilers.

the pages for Derelict soc missions have not been written on the wiki yet  
wait a sec, will be back after killing my sister  

EDIT: nvm, I cheated my way back to SOC loop on a new pilot... awesome campaign so far 

[Santa]

The campaign is pretty good so far, but - and I've read in this thread that I'm not the only one - I have some trouble getting past the mission with the Capellan shuttle. It's apparently not the same problem that other people are having. While they have issues where the shuttle bangs into the station repeatedly until it blows up, failing the docking procedure, here it docks properly but the mission doesn't end. Then I tried to fail five times in a row so I could skip the mission. Did that, but the next mission was the same as the previous one. This time the mission ended properly, and I got to debriefing. When I clicked accept, I was told the mission was failure and I would have to replay it (which is bull)...

Any ideas? Starting to seriously annoy me, this =/

Edit: On the umphteenth attempt I actually got through it. Didn't do anything different from earlier, for some reason it just decided to work that time.

[benjy85pb]

I played through the entire campaign the other day, and needless to say, it's definitely been the most fun I've had playing Freespace since Freespace 2 came out. Utterly enjoyable, especially the last few missions, they actually had me on the edge of my seat!

I did encounter the bug where the shuttle kept banging into the station, but on the third play through, I increased the game speed to see what'd happen and it managed to sort itself out. But other than that, I had no other problems. The campaign was just delightful.

Is anyone else having a lot of issues with FS Open crashing to desktop with NO error messages?  There is nothing to copy to notepad either.  The only times I am noticing it so far is during briefings and the weapon selection screen.

[The E]

Running a debug build and posting the fs2_open.log when it crashes might give us an idea what the error is.

[Ranger1]

Nothing is being posted to the log even in using the Debug build.  It is crashing directly to desktop.

[General Battuta]

You can find the log in your /data/ folder under the FS2 directory. It's there.
