xierxior Posted April 9, 2002 Report Share Posted April 9, 2002 I have the same problem as mufossa it didnt start happening til the 1.0.0.5 or 1.0.0.6 patch, if I run the game at 1.0.0.4 it wont crash. I can hit alt-p 100 times with out it crashing, it only happens when intruders board. [ 04-09-2002, 03:26: Message edited by: xierxior ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just not used Perscan since it started to happen. I can use it when there are no intruders also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ask the testers to check it out. btw, what race/caste/career/asset are you two using?

Maybe you're just dumb (your words; not mine) If you post in this thread again about this nonsense, your posting rights will be revoked. If you don't know how it works, go to the newbie forum.

Duncan Idaho Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Heheh, or maybe his keyboard is broken. Or maybe he's trying to use the keypad, not the numbers across the top? All I know is SHIFT+9 and 0 work for me, every time, and always has. Just a thought. Idaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Idaho Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 A note to those mentioning having problems loading save games on a system with a Sound Blaster Live! card: I've spent the past month experimenting, and I verify Xierxior's (and a few others) tip for stopping this problem. Go to your start menu, find your Battlecruiser Millenium folder, right click on the Battlecruiser Millenium program icon, and in the box that says Target, add the following to the line: -x0 (that's a zero, not the letter O) When done, it should look something like this: "C:Program Files3000ADBattlecruiser Millenniumbcm.exe" -x0 This disables 3D positional sound, which seems to cause a problem with the SB Live card. (For the record, the game still sounds about the same on my home theater system, so it shouldn't affect how good the game sounds for you). It works for me, and I've had no problems in the past month with saved games locking up on load. Hope this helps you! (SC, hope this isn't wasting space, but since I saw a few mention the problem again this past week, thought I'd post this to help them out).

Val Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 My keyboard problem is over : I just have to put it in English mode when I start the game. At last, I can play ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoIts fine. Those parameters are already in the FAQ but I have added a specific entry for it and cite this as a possible fix for this problem.

xierxior Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 Yeah it allways happens every time an intruder boards. Im going to go see if it does it at higher/lower resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Idaho Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 I have seen a Perscan CTD problem, as well, it seems to be related to just how FAST you enter perscan after being told you have intruders. I've been unable to reproduce reliably, but my reflexes aren't as sharp as some of the younger folk. Idaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 Well unless and until someone reproduces it and has a saved game to boot, this is a closed issue. So far neither I, nor the testers can reproduce it. So, I have a feeling that it may be video driver related. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grayfox Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 would there be a chance (Remote) of it being related to SB Live! ?? ive been reading about the CTD's after switching to perscan, and ive also been reading about the problems the SB Live! cards/drivers can cause and im just curious. The perscan CTD happened to me, and i have a SB Live! card. i followed some advice given on the forums involving SB Live! drivers and now i dont have the problem anymore... the bad thing is, i couldnt reproduce it 100% it would happen to me about once in every 3 attempts, now whenever i access perscan after being notified of intruders, i dont get a CTD... and ive done it 10 times or so so far. again just curious...

Supreme Cmdr Posted April 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Perscan doesn't output any sound, so I'm not certain how that could be related to the SB Live! Dunno though; stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted April 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2002 We've closed it on our end since none of us can reproduce it. Which leads me to believe that it is a video driver problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
