Author	Topic: Crashing to desktop
EAF274_Bob Cadet	posted 12-26- 02:52 PM When I am trying to fly some planes, most of them still in beta, Fighter Squadron crashes to the desktop. The last ones to crash were the Bf-110, the MB-152 and Morane Saulnier 406 from Scorpion Rouge's site. What steps do I take to find out why the program is crashing on these beta's. My current setup of FS-SDOE: patch 1.5.2.10; planepack 6.1; nations 2; WW1 pack 2 and patch. Some single objects like the 3 mentioned above. All detail and texture settings to the max. Texture size 1024 x 1024. My system: Duron 700 384 mb main memory Voodoo3 2000 PCI 16 mb memory Win 98 "first" edition IP: Logged
EAF274_Bob Cadet	posted 12-26- 03:36 PM I found out myself that the Albatros D1 would not be textured without bringing the texture size down to 256 x 256. The texture on the higher settings were visible for a brief moment. Out of graphics memory I suppose. The graphics driver I use for FS SDOE is Direct X, because other programs like AC3D will not run with the 3DFX Open GL drivers originally supplied with the Voodoo card. Glide just crashes FS all the time in 16 bit mode. The last official 3DFX drivers were removed because the maximum monitor refresh rate was somehow reduced to 75 Hz. Both card and IIyama 410 monitor can do better. IP: Logged

EAF274_Bob Cadet	posted 12-26- 05:08 PM I ment to say all patches from 1.5 up to 1.5.2.10 installed. I ran the first patch, it opens a dos "window". IP: Logged
Sunray Pilot	posted 12-27- 11:06 AM The operative word is 'beta'. For some reason, some of 'em don't work with every machine or you don't have the files in the right place. Despite having done exactly what you were told to do. IP: Logged
