hi. i've got problem with Freespace 2 SCP. When i click 'commit' in mission briefing i hear only audio, i can control the ship, fire and stuff but there is no graphics at all, i still see mission briefing screen freezing. i've tried different resolutions (open gl and direct3d) and features turn on and off, but nothing helps. this happen in 16-bit color depth, when i switch to 32-bit game just crashes. and another thing - i used to have windows vista home edition and then i could play F2 SCP with the same version and installer in high resolution. now i have windows xp proffesional (32bit) and i cannot play the game with this problem. i can see ships in tech room. freespace 2 without SCP runs just fine. when i tried play in debug mode game crashes no matter what.

my computer: laptop lenovo n500
windows xp pro 32-bit Service Pack 3
intel pentium dual core t3400 2.16 ghz
4 gb ram (in windows only 3 gb ram)
graphics card: mobile intel 4 series GMA x4500mhd (integrated) - i know - its crap. lastest drivers installed.

F2 SCP:
flags:
Freespace2\fs2_open_3_6_10.exe -mod MediaVPs -spec -glow -env -mipmap -nomotiondebris -missile_lighting -normal -3dshockwave -dualscanlines -targetinfo -orbradar -rearm_timer -ballistic_gauge -ship_choice_3d -weapon_choice_3d -3dwarp -warp_flash -snd_preload  -ambient_factor 35 -ogl_spec 20 -spec_exp 15 -spec_point 1.2 -spec_static 1.5 -spec_tube 1.5

version:
fs2 open launcher 5.5e
fs2 open 3.6.10 - its older version, but used to work in vista!

i attach files in zip that may help find you whats wrong with fs2_open.log.

Thank You for Your help!

ps. sorry for my english

I am sorry, we cannot really help you. You need to upgrade your FSO exe to 3.6.12, and your mediavps to the same version. You are using stuff that is two years old; I cannot tell whether you found a new bug, or just hit an old one that we have fixed already.

New executable version can be found here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70692.0
Current developer version (which I would recommend to use): http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=76717.0

ok, i figure this out
i use default FS2 (all features off) from easy setup from launcher and played the game. it runs smoothly. everything works perfect. then i use 'all features on' from easy setup and game crashes. so the problem somewhere there. by the metod of trial and error i finally figured, that problem was in environment maps. simply uncheck this box, and game will run properly. i can now enjoy the game!

oh, btw. what is default settings for F2 SCP in features window (in laucher)? because even when i choose 'all features on' and uncheck 'enable environment maps'  i dont have 3d radar and i remember that it was very useful. yes, i know that it can be turn on in HUD menu, but i was wondering what other options didn't turn on ... ?

ps. thank you for the links The E, but downloading new version of MediaVPs would exceed my transfer in my mobile internet

Nevertheless, you should get the new exes. As for the radar, you need to look in the Launcher's gameplay features.
