CTD

    This is with Crossfire 1.7 installed.
    I have been playing for a couple of weeks now, finally have an Eagle and getting ready to explore the additional systems. Went to Junyo and bought a Mark IV shield upgrade. Before this, game is working fine. So I'm traveling through Galileo heading back to Oasis, now that I've got some muscle :), trade lane is disrupted and as soon as I shoot a ship, I get CTD. So, instead of heading to Oasis, thinking it's just a bad save or something I resave and take a mission on Junyo and same thing. As soon as I shoot a ship, CTD. Is there a known bug with the Mark IV shield upgrade?


    Only other thing I can think of that I did before combat is also bought a scanner upgrade.


    ???

    Try removing them one at a time and seeing if the problem recurs.

    When you say you shot a ship did you mean you actually destroyed it?


    The reason I say this is because here recently out of the blue, I was experiencing a CTD whenever I destroyed a ship and it was VERY. VERY. FREEKIN. ANNOYYYYYING. [3] [3] [3] I still don't know exactly what has triggered that to this day...


    The only fix I know of to end the problem after some research here on the forums was to scale back 50% on my effects level under Details under the graphics options via F1. It put a stop the CTDs immediately. Hope this helps! 8)

    Do you use Debillitators (thats the name of a weapon in case you dont)?
    Sounds familiar to me. For me changing to different weapon types "helped".
    No crashes anymore but aiming is harder now.

    On the Debilitators. Yes. As a matter of fact, I just upgraded to Advanced Debilitators (sheesh...you really need shield killers in this game.....I almost quit playing this mod before I tried using Advanced Stunpulse........cut my combat time in half). I'd forgot about that. I went to Detroit Munitions right before I went to Junyo. I had been using the regular Debilitators with no problem.


    I'll try changing weapons and see if that works. If not, I'll try cutting back the graphics. Will report back later tonight.


    Thanks for all the advice so far.


    btw......In the past I've had to disable 3D sound.....I noticed the other day that it was enabled but I wasn't having any problems so........I'll try turning that off too.

    Good call on the Debilitators.
    Actually it was the Advanced Debilitator that caused the problem. Switched back to regular Debilitators and no problem.
    Went back to Oasis and waxed an entire job board and captured 50 Lieutenants. :D fun fun


    NOW........ does someone know where I can bribe the Lane Hackers so I can get me one of those Xenon Thrusters. ;)

    You`ll prolly need a Liberty Rogue or Outcast Bribe...

    Assumption is the mother of all fuckups.


    Being a Cynic isn't that bad. Either I'm right or I am pleasantly surprised.

    OK......one more question on this Lane Hacker thing cause I know this isn't the place for it but.....


    I think I know what you mean but I'm not sure. I found a list on the net of where your supposed to be able to go to find people who offer the bribes you want. (hate cheating but it takes so long to go everywhere and I want to get into the cool new systems with max equipment I can)
    Have gone to a couple of them and no one is there to offer me the bribe to hack my standing with the Lane Hackers for me like the list says they would be. (Like I was able to find for the Zoners etc. etc.)


    I have seen forum posts elsewhere that have alluded to this thing where to get to one faction you have to be friends with another but nothing in great detail and what detail was there showed that you had to go to the actual faction homeworlds. Well, let me tell you, none of those people are gonna let me land on their planet. They all HATE me. Libery Rogues, Outcasts, Lane Hackers, Unioners, Red Hessians........I am good with the Blood Dragons and thats about it when it comes to the pirates in the game.


    So is it a pipe dream, at this point, that I am gonna land on a base and someone is gonna offer to up my rep with the Lane Hackers for a fee??


    If so, can you give me just a few more nuggets of what I should do?

    While this is a rather unconvential approach, this is my magic rep bullet when I'm tired of looking for bribes. Go to Inner Cloud System (New London -> Corridor -> Inner Cloud <- Nephele <- X-3043) and search for Storage Depots that belong to the Xenos. There will be a few of them. Destroy them and be amazed by the effect. That said, you will definitely need to kill more pirates to get factions hostile towards you again afterwards if you destroy enough of those xeno containers. Since Xenos hate just about everyone, and everyone hates them back, you gain favorable standing with nearly every faction in the mod.

    Nah I need a Gun with less power drain when I am using a guns only setup.
    But more important the projectile speed is closer to the ppcs, which made this weapon a very good choice.

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.


    This is ten percent luck,
    Twenty percent skill,
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,
    Five percent pleasure,
    Fifty percent pain,
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    They cause crashes for some people. The problem is wierd but this thread shows that im not the only victim of that bug :P.
    So what happens is when you kill a NPC/Player with the Debs mounted and activated 2 problems occur:
    Nr. 1 is mentioned by wrangler in this thread. The shooter has a crash to desktop
    Nr. 2 is random people in the same system have a crash to desktop


    The method to solve nr1 is to turn down the general details (the bar that moves all other bars)
    Funny enough you can max everything else again, just make sure this one bar is low.


    Other peoples crashes however can not be solved. There is no pattern as far as i know, because it happens only to like 50% of the players.


    Maybe giving the weapon another model and another projectile would help, maybe you could just copy the stats of the Tizona, which works, rename it to "blacks fav. weapon" and give them a slightly more poweful shield killing effect and a high projectile speed :)


    Its propably not as simple but it would be cool if youd fix it for 1.8 or something. Thx

    I can not see how i should fix something that I can not even understand
    to my understanding the guns can not be bugged


    A bugged gun would cause a crash with the first shot and not when a NPC is getting killed because the kill has nothing to do with the gun
    its a completly seperated procedure
    and if the gun does not crash the client with the first shot then it can not be bugged at all

    Well it only happens when you kill with this gun. so if youd remove this gun there is no problem anymore, right? Leaves us with the lack of a potent shield killing gun of course.
    But creating a new one would solve everything even if nobody understands the bug itself.
    Thats how i thought

    we just wait and see
    its better to test it during the beta of 1.8

    Since I have never had a big problem with CF crashing on me except for crashes from my own stupidity, I'll get the Adv Deliberators and give them a test, if it crashes with me, then we all know there has to be something weird going on with them. XP

    Talking about betas, OP, I remember during one of them (was it for 1.6? it's hard to remember) that killing one of the brand-new Dom'Kavash gunboats in Sol System would result in a CTD. Could this recent observation be due to a similar problem to what was occuring back then?

    Their are some Rumors about this Guns being bugged.


    TbH, after the first Rumors i heard i tested the Debilitators - both versions (I have equipped them on a special Type of Ship aswell). I did not found any problems with them while using it ?(
