Celeron 300 OC'd to 450
64 mb ram
Monster V2 12mb
Glide 800 by 600
object detail slider @ 50%
terrain detail @ 100%

I've ran 2 missions offline that have both resulted to the same exact ending.Both lasted for about 25 minutes.8 to 10 Fighters total in the mission.Fairly fresh reboot,and first mission once starting game.

The Problem: Kicked to desktop ,but in 640 by
480 res. 16 bit color.

I run 1024 by 768, 24 bit color on the desktop before starting the game.Forced to reboot to change back to Hi-Res.

Memory leak with the beta?

Never had this problem EVER in 1.5 standard patch.Shame too,because if beta 5 got its bugs worked out,its far superior in performance to standard 1.5

Solution for me: FRESH REINSTALL.

I hope

I see the same exact problem with the normal current SDOE - my missions will last up to like 10 or 15 minutes, then I crash to DT with 640X480, 16 bit color.

I am scared that it is my planes, but this happens to me now and again with the normal plane pack aircraft (5.2 and 5.3)

No one has ever reported this problem with my planes yet, anyone?

Someone told me a re-install fixed this problem for them. I will try this after the contest is over and report.

You were actually running in OpenGL - not D3D. There is a known bug with the options screen not correctly reporting what video mode the game is set to run in. Just go in and set it to D3D at whatever resolution you want and then exit and restart the sim. It may already say it is in D3d mode...just reselct it from the drop down and all should be good. Don't go back into the video options after this, I've had it change the setting even though I didnt ask it to.
