Psirat Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 I created a Roam scenario choosing to be an Assault Force Marine, Ter/Mil, starting on the Starbase on Mars. A few moments after the scenario loaded, I got messages that my escort marines were deployed, but I never saw them. I called them up on the Priority list, and they appeared to be on Earth. I deleted that profile and created another with the same results. I was just wondering if the extra marines only deploy to earth, or if my installation is corrupt. I'm having fun, anyway - Sgt. Typhon says he "don't need no stinkin' help!". Yeah, Sarge, you die quite well on your own.
Psirat Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Posted August 30, 2004 Will do. COOL! That means I may be tooling around Mars with my own squad tonight!
Psirat Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Posted August 31, 2004 Well, I uninstalled, deleted the game directory and reinstalled with no joy. Then, I uninstalled BCM & UC, deleted both game directories, installed just UC, patched to 2.00.00 and tested, then to 2.00.12 and tested. Not actually seeing the marines in either version, and I discovered that it doesn't matter what starting base I choose. The marines show up on my priority list, but not in the game world. I started a ROAM campaign at Earth starbase to test. When I tried to Zoom to the marines in Tacops, I just Zoom to bare ground on the base. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm suspecting my patch download may be corrupt. I'm on dial-up. I'll download fresh patches via broadband tomorrow and see if that changes anything. PS- one more piece of weirdness. I get 2 messages about marines. Half the marines on my list are Ter/Ins, the other half Ter/Mil. This consistent wether I'm Mil or Ins. Wonky
Psirat Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Posted September 2, 2004 Still Wonky. Fresh install to the default directory (normally, I put games on a second HDD). Freshly downloaded patches. Same screwiness. I've also noted that my shuttles refuse to deploy mdrones till I zoom in on them in Tacops ("Uh-oh. The Boss is looking! Back to work.") If my obsessions get the best of me, I'll put a second, fresh install of XP on my box to see if that helps. Since I'm alone with these symptoms, it's got to be my OS or my hardware. I DID upgrade system board, video card and RAM before buying UC. Had to.

Deploy drone])
Psirat Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Posted September 3, 2004 Thanks a lot, man, but I do that. At first I thought it was the terrain that was scaring them, but it has slowly dawned on me that it happens every time. I know my install of the game is clean. This leads me to believe that I have bigger problems. Rebuild my system to play UC? Hell yeah! (that, and if I've got bigger problems, then I've got BIGGER problems, and they won't go away by themselves.)
