Crashing in First Nebula mission of main FS2 campaign
on: August 06, 2007, 09:54:46 pm
I didn't see this posted elsewhere, but I've noticed that in the first nebula mission in the main Freespace 2 campaign, the game locks up and the only way to get out is by rebooting my PC.  One thing to note, is that the mission starts off fine, but after a little ways, the game locks up.

I'm not sure if this is caused by a graphics or memory error so I'll give you some quick specs.

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz processor
Corsair 2 GB DDR2-RAM
Gigabyte 945-P S3 motherboard
GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB video card
Windows XP Pro 32-bit with latest updates

Maybe it's just a wacky graphics setting, but I'm pretty sure I'm up-to-date with the latest drivers and I'm not experiencing any kind of lag.

D'Oh! Forgot to mention I'm running Freespace 2 Open 3.6.9

Deuternomy 22:11 explained:

Well there are many different speculations going on about this law about not mixing fibers and at least one explanation claims that it was a symbolic gesture designed to keep a pure sense of culture, people, and religion.  Seperation of crop  in the vinyard, mentioned in Dt. 22:9 and 22:10 seem to reaffirm this idea, though there may be other reasons as well.

And now, an excerpt from the Prayer of Mordecai, the Book of Esther Chapter C (New American Bible Official Catholic version).

Est C:5  You know all things.  You know, O Lord, that it was not out of insolence or pride or desire for fame that I acted thus in not bowing down to the proud Haman.  6  Gladly would I have kissed the soles of his feet for the salvation of Israel.  7  But I acted as I did so as not to place the honor of man above that of God.  I will not bow down to anyone but you, my Lord.  It is not out of pride that I am acting thus.

What settings have you turned on in the launcher?

Disable missile lighting (It's a speed killer, but you can't really see any benefit) and turn on "Stops fog intercept hull" and "Disable Vertical Sync".

Then, run the game. When it chrashes, open up FreeSpace2/data/fs2_open.log and post the contents.

okay, that fixed it.  No more lock-ups.  Thank you, Turey! :D
