Cannot memory map file res/addons/o.pbo

[Mr Z]

um I just ran that checker thingy it says there are 43 files missing!

I looked manually in the folders all the fileas are where there supposed to be!

I had a Radeon 8500 64M (retail ATI) on an Abit kt7a board and never got this error.

I do however get this error on my new Radeon 9700 on my Tyan 2466N-4m board. Setting the aperture size to 64M solved my problem too.

At any rate, relief may be in sight. I have gotten a personal confirmation that an ATI driver technician will be looking into the problems with OFP. I don't believe it'll be in the next driver release as those drivers are already in QA freeze, but hopefully in the next version after that.

I don't fault ATI for this problem, once the later driver releases starting coming out, my 8500 was great. My 9700 is pretty good too, but as usual, flashpoint doesn't like it. Err I should say Resistance.. 1.46 of 1985 ran like a CHAMP. I'm sure it's something in Resistance that's not allocating video memory properly, but I'm sure that others will disagree and blame the ATI card. That's fine too. Keep this in mind though. When I pulled my 8500 and put my 9700 in, the ONLY game I had any problems running was Resistance. I routinely play about 8 or 9 different games, and I cycle old ones out for new ones all the time.

It's pretty sad when I can run new games like Mafia at 1600x1200@85hz, 32b color, 6x AA and 16x AF at smooth rates, but something like OFP pukes all over itself.

I found that removing a specific addon actually let me run FP Res without the memory map error. I am using a Geforce2mx card as well.

I'm having this problem now aswell. can't seem to find to logic in it yet

ok this happend to me once before, long time ago but can't remember how I fixed it.

a month ago or so I installed the tonal island or whatever it's called from BAS. thats when the problem occured for me again. I removed the O.pbo file and replaced it with the one from the CD even though I had v1.96. I'm guessing that leaves me with some sort of mix between versions perhaps?

anyways so it worked fine then. ***happy happy..

today I just downloaded the BAS rangers 1.5 and 1.5-1.55 ***and now I have the same problem, only now I can't solve it. ***I copied the o.pbo from the cd and even tried with the config.bin

same problem ***"can't memory map 0.pbo" *** ***what to do?

can't see how it could be a hardware problem since it worked fine before the bas files. ***(also removed the bas files but still odesn't work, perhaps their update program messed it up, thats what happend with the tonal map I think. they have an update program that makes you choose where the pbo files are and then they change the files)



SUMMERY:

Problem: get error message "can't memory map O.pbo"

possible trigger: BAS update program

my system: 2.4 ghz ***512ram *** ***gef4 128mb *** win XP

earlier problems: same problem twice before but was able to solve it by replacing my O.pbo by copying directly from the cd.

Use the -nomap command, if you're not sure how to use it search for nomap, you'll find plenty of threads

:/ didn't help. the same problem occurs. I didn't notice any differance at all.

by the -nomap I'm guessing you mean creating a shortcut and adding the line -nomap after blablabla.exe

any other ideas?
