Pipski 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Hi all. Â First off, thanks to Hellfish6 for sorting out my registration! Secondly, I've got a big problem with OFP. Â I'm running Cold War Crisis v1.0 which I bought when it first came out. Â For various reasons too boring to go into I'm not in a position to patch it up to 1.46 right now but I should have a copy of the GOTY edition within a few weeks anyway . Â The problem is new. Â I've been putting together a mission in the editor recently but the game has just started crashing to desktop at the end of missions. Â This happens in campaign or single missions. Â When I true to load up my editor mission the game crashes immediately. Â My campaign is now stalled because it doesn't record the fact you completed the mission before you crashed. Â From what I've heard this is not too uncommon a bug. Â Have looked it up on Avonladys site and heard that other people have fixed it - bizarrely - by uninstalling and/or reinstalling CloneCD. Â This hasn't worked for me. Â It did occur that the onset of the problem roughly coincided with me burning some unrelated data files to CD so I guess it could be linked to something Windows uses to write CDs (I used the built-in WinXP drag & drop writing facility). Â Uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn't fix it, defragging the hard disk hasn't helped, increasing the amount of paging memory to a gig hasn't helped. Â Moving my User folder out of the OpFlash directory didn't work, nor did setting up a new User. Can anyone think of anything else that might fix it? Â I'm stumped! Â I could really use a fix for this as it would be very handy if I could finish my mission in the next week or so. Â Plus, it's really bugging me that I can't mend it! Â It must be a problem outside of OFP entirely or at least in the files that aren't deleted by an uninstall. Â Could it be .dlls? Â Something arcane like that? Â Any suggestions very welcome and very much appreciated! PS - I have hunted through the FAQs and forums here, at Avondlady's and at ofpec with no joy so far.

Pipski 0 Posted December 13, 2003 Have already turned off antivirus software as PC is not online anyway. Have DX9 already. Do not have SP1 but will make a point of procuring it asap. Oh, and Nvidia drivers are all bang up to date already too. Any particular reason for the SP tip? I can get it, but it's a bit of a pain tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
