Select a build ending in -d and run it until it crashes. Then post the fs2open_log file. This should preferably be a 3.6.9 debug build.

Don't worry about being new to it -- we're happy to walk you through the steps.

[Jeff Vader]

Basically do what you did before but this time, instead of selecting fs2_open_3_6_9.exe, select something that starts with "fs2_open_3_6_10d", then run it until you get to the Main Hall. Then quit. There should now be a file called fs2:open.log in your \freespace2\data folder. Post that file here, preferrably by attaching it to your post or by using the "code" tags. As in,

Code: [Select]

like this so that it would take significantly less vertical space.

This should preferably be a 3.6.9 debug build.

Depends on the situation, but right now he doesn't have 3.6.9 debug, since I assumed 3.6.9 would solve the problem and therefore didn't include the debug build in the archive.

[The E]

The 3.6.9 debug build can be found in this package.

[EBass]

Understood, downloading .9 debug now.

[The E]

The Link I posted above is the official 3.6.9 release package, with debug builds included. For 3.6.10, download this package. That is the latet nightly build available, with debug builds included.

Now I ran the game with the .9 debug, but seeing as I can't even boot the game with the .9 version I don't know if it could compile a report with the .9 build, so this is quite possibly my last crash or exit using the .10 system.

[The E]

Hmmm. Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. To me, this sounds more like something is wrong with the Launcher, not the FS2-exes themselves.

[EBass]

Thinking about it, in the latest VP build I get a couple of seconds play before it crashes, maybe I could exit the game five times and get the skip mission option? Of course this would only be a solution if this problem is specific to this mission rather than a general problem with .10 Vps and Vishnan spaceships.

[Jeff Vader]

Code: [Select]

  -voicerWhat's this option and why is it on?

the latest VP build

As I tried to explain, there are no "vp builds". .vp files are container files. Very much similar to .zip files except there's no compression. They contain all (or most of the) data that the game uses. Builds are versions of the game engine. Builds are the game that uses the data from the .vp files.

[The E]

Voice recognition, according to the sourcecode. Disabling it should do the trick, as this "command recogntion context"-stuff is one of its error messages.

[EBass]

There doesen't appear to be an immediatly obvious option in the launcher to turn it off.

[Wobble73]

There doesen't appear to be an immediatly obvious option in the launcher to turn it off.

Which launcher are you using? (5.5d is the latest IIRC). The voice recognition is under the Experimental area of the Features tab.

The command-line options have more to do with the build.

It should be under the "Experimental" list. Under the "Features" list, that is.

[EBass]

5.5d yes. No option to turn "Voice regonition" or "Voicer" off anywhere.

[EBass]

All fixed up. Thanks a lot for your help guys I'll let you get back to your lives now

[Darius]

Ok. Looks like a lot just happened overnight.

What did you end up doing to fix the crash, EBass?

EDIT: Not too sure how to merge topics at the moment, but I'll split it into its own discussion for now.

He turned Voice recognition off!

Which campaign is that?

He switched to a 3.6.9 build and turned -voicer off. I think -voicer was just making 3.6.9 crash; the original problem is caused by 3.6.10 disliking 'The Great Preservers'.

[EBass]

Yea thats correct, I loaded .9 and always crashed, it seemed -Voicer was automatically turned on and my system couldn't deal with it. Many thanks to all who helped me. As an aside I just finished it, love the campaign, but seemed to end set right up for a sequal. Is one in the works or exists?
