Criterion Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I was trying out the SF marine career, and found this problem: If you start a roam as a SF Marine, the default asset is a shuttle craft.If that craft is destroyed the game will hang. Freeze. It does not crash to desktop.Have to bring up the task manager to stop the process. Tried MP and the same thing happens. Sequence of events: Start new roam as SF marine.Hit <contrl><alt><E>. Say 'yes'. Game hangs. No explosion graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Zwycky Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I can confirm that the above steps in sp produce a game hang on my machine as well. I also tried exiting the shuttle (Alt E) and shooting it to destruction with my sabre rifle. I heard the explosion noise, but the game hung again with no explosion animation.

Wolferz Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hmmm, I tried it and only got killed when the shuttle went kaboom. Looks like the problem might be with that AC 97 integrated sound card. Hey Ben, Is your CPU really running at 2200 Ghz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I'll run some more stringent tests this weekend to see what I can come up with. Given that this [stand-alone] career is the least used and is largely useless, its not top priority. So don't expect a fix anytime soon. You folks having this problem may want to try this with a normal CMDR career. SNG with CMDR careerTransfer AE to SC1Launch SC1. Turn A/P on and set to haltExit SC1 in fp mode. This switches your AE from CMDR to SFM.Destroy SC1 using your Sabre weaponry See if the game also crashes in that instance. It probably won't, since the handling is different; but you never know.

Ben Zwycky Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 nope, no crashes there, shuttle is destroyed as normal. I went on to destroy my CC with my sabre and there were no problems there either (ending the game after showing the explosion as it should) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 OK great. Thanks Ben. You're always on the ball with stuff like this. Your help over the years is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
