Campaign Mission Crashes to Desktop

[ogre h]

Every time I complete the Return To Eden, capture the Airfield mission, my game crashes to Windows when I hit the Continue button.
I'm running OFP version 1.3, Win Me, DX 8.1 on a PIV with A Geforce 2 Ultra, 256mb Ram, 40GB HD, Turtle Beach Soundcard. Windows is managing my swap file, my texture and Heap files are set to maximum and my video card is set to hardware T&L.
I'd appreciate any help in solving this problem. Thank you

OK, I took my user folder, and copied it on to a machine that had OFP 1.26 installed. The mission ended successfully, and I was allowed to advance.
That system was a PIII 733, 128 Ram Elsa Gladiac Geforce 2.
Looks like it could be a bug in 1.30

Manually set a maximum value of 1000 and see what happens.

I tried resetting the swap file, and no joy.
Mission completes and then crashes to desktop.
The mission is now that Hind Hunting Mission, since I was able to complete Return to Eden with version 1.26 on another machine. So my problem is not mission specific.

Search The FAQ (http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/) for "ctd". It could be one of the many known causes of crash-to-desktops.

Same problem for me (and others).

I have tried everything suggested in The Avon Lady's FAQ, but to no avail.

Anyway, check "Red Hammer v1.30 all gone tits up" (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=4&topic=2123) for details.

Yeah, I went through the FAQ too. The solution is not there http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
I guess I'll play Black Thorn until BIS releases a patch to fix this.

One more !! I have the same problem ... Hind Hunt campaing mission crashes to desktop with no error message when i finish it (pressing continue button).

Well come all to the f**king OPFP 1.30 buggy club http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Sounds like you've either go corrupted files or a memory shortage. Did you try manually setting your virtual swap file's maximum size to 1000? If that doesn't help and if it seems that corrupt files are the culprit, you should do a full reinstall. Search The FAQ (http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/) for "reinstall".

Those of you with CTDs at mission end, check this crazy thread (http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/topic.cgi?forum=4&topic=2123), pointed out above by MaxDamage.
