Topic: Ground map loading problem

I just updated my BF2142 to patch 1.5 and FS to the new 1.5 version. I am able to play space maps fine, but I crash whenever I load maps like Jundland Wastelands or Endor. Help please?

I'll continue to edit this topic as I find more noteworthy facts.

Edit: I went from the one Space map with the destroyer research center to Jundland Wastelands. After the crash, it loaded just fine.

Edit2: It appears that I crash whenever the map changes during the loading screen (about 75/80% completed).

Edit3: It appears that I cannot load the Endor Strike Team map, no matter what I do.

Edit4: I have no problem when loading Jundland Wastelands unless it's during a map change.

Edit5: I have restarted FS multiple times and cannot load Endor Strike Team. It crashes a little past half way into the loading process (55/60%).

Edit6: I have no problems loading Bandomeer Refinery Assault.

Edit7: The server running Endor Strike Team is the Official Blackintel.org first strike server

Edit8: I am unable to play Endor Strike Team on singleplayer or multiplayer.

Also, I use Windows 7 32-bit and my graphic card is an ATI Radeon 1950x Pro. I run BF2142 with full FPS.



Drawn conclusions and requests:

1. Remove Endor Strike Team from the rotation or find out why some people can play it and other people can't.

2. The map change coding need to be edited to fix crashes.

Re: Ground map loading problem

Try waiting 5 seconds after deploy before actually clicking it.  I've been crashing myself on Jundland a lot for some reason, but waiting a little bit usually fixes the problem for me smile

Re: Ground map loading problem

Edited my first topic. Look at Edit2. I crash before the loading completes.

Re: Ground map loading problem

Blind...... is this a new development or did you have it in testing? Or did you not bother testing the new stuff?

Re: Ground map loading problem

I didn't have this in testing.

Also had it on rhen var research station. Trying to reinstall.

Ok... I tried it on local after reinstall and it still crashed at around 5% of loading.

The first time I tried loading Rhen Var Research Station, it crashed for me. However, after restarting BF2142, it worked just fine.

A question to the developers: Did you program the mod to unload the game's resources after the end of a map? That might fix the crashing problems.
