Dunno how you are even able to do it, but it is supported in all vehicles, though the MFB is a special case unit.

Is the MFB the only vehicle that is causing a problem? If so, then it could be a problem in the ASSETS.INI file.

What steps are you using to do this and do you have a saved game to send in?

Try this and let me know the results.

[*]Backup up your DATAASSETS.INI file located in the game install folder. e.g. copy it to ASSETS.BAK

[*]Download and unzip this ASSETS.INI file (with folders) into your game folder. When prompted to replace the existing file, do it.

[*]Now try the same game again and see if it still crashes.

[*]If it does crash, then try it with a new game and reproduce the steps you used in attempting to collect cargo with that unit.

I found out what it is. It is not the the MFB, or any vehicle, it is all of them that are NOT my assets.

I used a commander carrer (does not matter the config).

Beamed myself down to the planet with a cargo pod.

Then I jumped in the nearest vehicle, doesn't matter if it's enemy or friend, as long as it's not one of my assets.

Got close to pod, told it to collect the cargo pod, then CTD.

I am guessing it's trying to report "[vehicle name] has collected cargo pod" and when it tries to find the asset name, it crashes because it can't find it.

Thanks, I will look into it.

How did you beam yourself down to the planet with a cargo pod? I mean, how did you get the items into the pod? And was your AE and the cargo items transfered to the transporter and beamed down at the same time?

[Ditto00]

Yes, I beamed down my AE and cargo at the same time. I used LOADOUT in the tatical computer, clicked TP, loaded up cargo (10 APM-RADIX at ALL times) And loaded up my AE.

To test out and make sure it isnt related to the transporter use, I also used a shuttle to get to the surface and used the same vehicle. CTD.

Next, I had one of my vehicles brought down to the surface, then I beamed down, got in, picked up cargo, and NO CTD. Then it reported "OC-1 has collected cargo."

OK thanks. I have logged it for further investigation. Until then, use your own assets (as you should be doing anyway) for cargo ops.

This should now be fixed in 2.00.13
