Sup fellas I was down for 2 days because ME screwed up once again and now I'm on XP . Well to the prob. When I attempt to load any mission in the mod it goes about half way in loading and then stops and FS2 locks up. Anyone have any clues if I installed something incorrectly or if this is a known prob? Maybe I installed something wrong because I was asked if I wanted to replace certain files during installation. Was I supposed to replace then or not? Any help would be appreciated.

I remember hearing about this. Does a regular FS2 mission do the same thing?

And can we get some more specifics on setup - specifically CPU, 3D card, sound card, anything else that might be important.

OK - the install. Install core files first, then everything else. I assume you installed the hi-res pack, which does replace files, which it should. That part's ok.

Here we go...(not the greatest but works great for me)
800MHz Athlon T-bird
512MB pc166 RAM
SB Live! Value
Geforce2 GTS 32MB
Maxtor 19GB 7200rpm HD
ASUS A7V133 MOBO
Win XP Pro

I think it replaced files on the high-res install. All the missions I tried to load were TBP missions. I even created one of my own and the same thing happened.

I had a similar problem with loading about 1/3 into loading the mission, amongst a couple of other places (most notably when the intro sequence loads up). I have a TNT2 card and have had similar problems with a couple of other games but as it turned out downloading and installing the latest drivers seems to have done the trick. There is at least the possibility that it is a similar problem with the GeForce - worth a try anyway.

Hope that helps

Well I'm running the Detonator XP 21.83 drivers for the GF2 so I don't think that is the prob. I tryed a fresh install of FS2. I guess I'll give that one more try because it can't hurt. Phantom icq me(95982844) or AIM me(jasondan) when you find out. Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. It seems that I can have one playing session per install. If I quit and restart FS2, the game freezes while loading the mission and I'll have to reset, and to play again, reinstall FS2 (good thing I finished the missions in one go ). The problem doesn't occur in Freespace 2.

I installed the mod as instructed, core first and other parts after that. I also tried that debris-file thing mentioned above but it didn't help.

My setup:
900MHz Celeron
Abit BH6
256MB RAM
TNT2 Ultra (tested with 6.50, 21.81 and 21.83)
Aureal Vortex 2
Win 98
