Topic: random crashing

hi.

me and some mates been playing on mod now and found there a major bug/crash problem.

when we playing game and game loads new map when we all clieck deploy we all CTD, when we try rejoining game we keep crashing to destop when we click deploy, we can only stop this by rebooting pcs.

all mates got same issue and we think it a major flaw in the mod design.

anyone know if theres a fix for this or a way around you crashing all the time. when you click deploy?

Re: random crashing

This might work. Try going into my documents/battlefield2142/mods/firststrike and delete the folder named cache

Re: random crashing

Read the sticky, specifically the parts about "Vanilla" problem.  If you still have the problem after trying those fixes, post back here.

Re: random crashing

Everyone crashing to desktop at the same time would suggest a corrupt server map file rather than a client problem. Rogue Tribes server crashes everyone to desktop if a support trooper deploys a Prox mine or Det pack. I believe Imperial is looking into this and other server issues. Untill fixed i'd suggest playing only the DS server, if European, or Wolf if stateside. (Other servers may work, just try them and see)

Re: random crashing

Hmm, Dunno why I was refering to reading that sticky... has this thread been split from another? The issues are unrelated.


Yeah, as Athlon says, this is to do with either you and all your friends being either out of date, or the server being out of date.

Go into your launcher, click file, then preferences, build should read 1005, if it doesnt, you are out of date.

Try to join either the "DSGaming.net" server or the "RSF Public 16p maps" server, I can confirm they are up to date and working. I belive the WOLFGaming servers may be aswell.

Re: random crashing

Wolf, RSF and DS are up and running and current.

I'm convinced there is something wrong with the server files, but if it's on the new maps, its probably out of date servers, since a lot dont seem to have updated to 1.4 yet.

When joining servers, make sure they say 1.4 in the server name, or stick to the ones reccomended here.

Re: random crashing

If it is on any outdated server, it will crash on all maps.  New objects have been added which don't correspond with the servers objects file = CTD.
