Crossfire 1.8 Bug fixing

Same things happens in 1.7 with Kusari Destroyer, Deadalus Reise st.

You enter in docking sequence and you "dock," but nothing happen after that, you just stay stuck in space in front of the station.

Is this happened to you Swissdevil?

thx all - with the standard install without sreencapture it works

sreencapture caused the error

nice - i can play

While trading in Vespus i occur CTD.
Engine components from Proxima to planet Legacy.When i try to sell Engine Components at Legacy game CTD.After this i enter in game again and found my ship in fron of the docking ring with full cargo.I try to sell again and everything works fine.Maybe just temporary thing, but maybe not.

ok now a bit more specific sry. ok i had a large transporter and i could land on bases and sell my stuff. for example the route london- durnham worked fine. just on some bases i had some problems to start again because i got stuck in starting box. i hope it is explained good enough... if not please ask again

Yes it is and u put new sense in a whole thing.
If u was able to buy and sell goodies with this ship at stations/bases, this is very interesting thing!!!]

Wait for OP to read this^^

Large Tansporters and trains can only dock at planets with mooring post ... Ops is fixing this minor bug ..
what i find anoying is .. i see lots of players doing the same .. even ones who know better ..
Only one person reported this after he made his money ..
Maybe it has nothing to do with the server crashing ..
thats for OP to find out ...
but seems some of you are not interested in that .. only how to make a quick buck ..
YOU KNOW TRAINS CANT DOCK AT STATIONS .. so dont do it ...

Excuse me if I'm silly, but this is crazy. In the Downloads section, there is only one CF 1.8 upload, and it dates from 5.1.10! What 2nd version, for cry out loud!?! That's the first and THE ONLY!

Stop being an ass. I asked a question, and unless you want the server to crash due to my first-version of CF 1.8, don't answer me.

Many of you said the server crashes because of people having the first release (5.1.10 - the ONLY f**king CF 1.8 AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD FFS!). It's not my fault if the server crashes and there's no so-called "2nd version" to download.

End of story.

Hey look, the soldier in the back of the two less-stupid idiots is the most stupid! I think he reminds me of somebody... might be Spiky. He just wants to be famous by publishing that photo, am I right, Spiky? Well, you could as well write your name there.

IF YOU WOULD STOP BEING AN IGNORANT I WOULD NOT NEED TO BE SUCH AN ASS

THE VERY FIRST 1.8 VERSION RELEASED ON 05.01 HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE ONE OR TWO DAYS LATER, WHY DO YOU POST THESE STUPID QUESTIONS ON THE FORUM WHEN YOU CAN SIMPLY ASK PEOPLE IN-GAME

USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN FOR ONCE, ITS THERE FOR A PURPOSE

Here you go, a screenshot! http://tinyurl.com/ycexklz

Doesn't that mean that Crossfire 1.8 has been UPLOADED on THE FIFTH OF JANUARY, TWO THOUSAND AND TEN? Or 05.01.10 means 7 or 8 january 2010? Last time I checked, the number 5 was assigned to FIVE, as in THE FIFTH, which comes after fourth and before sixth!

Btw, I am not ignorant. From the contrary! If there's been a post within these EIGHT pages (5 pages of SPAM, having no intention to waste my time reading those) containing something like "The mod has been re-uploaded, but the submitted date didn't change. Don't consider it, it's not 05.01.10 anymore, however so it's written in the Downloads section!", don't tell me I'm ignorant.

--Big phrase fail. Sorry--

I tried not to use swear language. You did use swear language . Perhaps OP should warn or ban you. Or perhaps kick (lol forum kick).

omg you just made yourself look like an IGNORANT FOOL

don't you think that the forum would be flooded with questions like yours IF EVERYBODY WOULD THINK THE SAME WAY AS YOU DO

OP HAS SAID HE WILL POST WHEN IT IS 'OK' TO DOWNLOAD 1.8 WHICH HE DID, HE POSTED BEFORE TO RE-DOWNLOAD CROSSFIRE 1.8 AFTER ITS RELEASE ON 05.01, ISN'T THIS OBVIOUS TO YOU WHAT IT MEANS?

I know that you are on this forum every fucking day so start reading what people write and don't waste the time of others with these useless questions, play the game and report bugs to help Op fix the crashes

Hey, calm down gentlemens

Even, Spiky is right, even the CF Launcher is saying to re-download CF 1.8 mod... it sais to re-download, from the same place. And OP also told the 'ok' after warning us he's uploading the 2nd version on the same spot... it's just that the Releae date didn't changed, but it Is the 2nd Version now

And Spiky, if you act like this with somebody that wasn't knowing athing... how would you act with noobs that know nothing and ask everything xD

I act like this to people that cleary should know about it and keep asking the same stupid question over and over again, that is being ignorant and ignorance is very very low on my tolerance ladder

anyways sorry for the useless spamm this thread should be only for reporting bugs...

Had to load 1.8 twice. I elected not to restore backups and went ahead a loaded 1.8 again. It worked the second time. The problem was copying a OpenSP M07 mission file from the Installer to the Freelancer program file. I figured that overwriting the file twice may get through the failed to copy error and it did.

I decided to play on OpenSP to see if I could find any bugs.

What I noticed was the time delay in the OpenSP start up screen was 2 1/2 minutes. At first I kept trying to start the Crossfire Game. Then I went to get something to drink and when I got back the preview movies were playing. I closed it out and opened Crossfire again. Waited 2 1/2 minutes and blam! there is was...the start up movie. I can live with the slow start up as long as I can ESC key through them.

That brings up settings...I decided to deactivate the shader and activate the old video card option to see what effect it had on triangles. No triangles! In fact, no video problems at all. Even though I have a 1 GB PCI video card, the no shader and older video card option worked perfectly.

Later on, the ESC key option, to quickly get through the movies did not work, but the game started after everything played. Annoying but not a big problem. Could be my system too.

Had a crash after leaving Malta and going to the Outcast burial site to recover weapons. On the first ship to give them up, I hit "B" to tractor everything in and poof...exited to desktop. Tried it again and only tractored in the weapons one at a time. Worked just fine. Found the second ship and tried the same procedure. As long as you tractor in one at a time, no problems.

I selected a Bullpup III for the heavy armor. So far, I've tried several different trade routes with no problems at all. All of Custodian worked well. Gates, docking rings and base docking worked like the 1.7. I repeated the landings on each of Custodian's dockable locations at least ten times each, boring but there were no problems, no triangles and no crashes.

I started going to each of the Crossfire Gates to test them as well. No problems so far.

The only thing I did notice was the bribes did not seem to help. I wanted to upgrade a weapon and I needed to be "friendlier" to the group. Paid the bribe, exit the planet and returned. Still could not purchase the weapon even thought I was +0.7 or above with that group. Bribed again and no change. I was max'd out with the Reputation for that group but no change. Bribes did not work with the Outcasts, Britonia Police and Cryer. Will check the others tonight after work.

Transit'd through the "Corridor" and made it to New London. As soon as I selection a location to move to, the game crashed to desktop.

If you want the error codes from the pop-up "send report to Microsoft," which I never send anything to them, I will write them down if y'all think it may help in the debugging.

I figure the best way to debug is to beat a system over and over until nothing happens, then move on to the next. If you rather not have my input, just let me know. I feel odd not including the technical problems from the debug software, but I didn;t see anyone else sending it and I didn't want to overwhelm OP with too much tech talk.

First hello everyone,i have few questions that may sound noobish. First i have some problems with pirates in new york etc,they fly too erratic and are very hard to hit, i thought it was performance issue but in lowest and highest settings game runs smoothly so i dunno whats the problem and my internet speed is 385Kb/sec so i dont think thats the problem. I also tried it in SP but pirates there behave normaly and are not hard to kill.
Second question is about additional mods,i know that in multiplayer is only allowed to instal crossfire mod,but what about speed or ghost docking ring mod? Is it possible or thats considered cheating? Thanks in advance.

It's not possible, neither the FLMM won't let you activate mroe than 1 mod, and even if you manage it, it's considered cheat, and you may get kicked for cheating.

Also, hope you've downlaoded CF 1.8 at less than 4 days ago... cus I saw you have some bug as the server said 4 times in som minutes about possible cheat detecting, so, try reinstalling the game by deleting all CF signs on the PC, then a fresh install. Deactivating and activating won't work.

The submitted date SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGE. If you just don't get it Spiky, fk off. If the date hasn't changed, I did ask why because if it was the same version, I wouldnt want to wait 45 mins, again, to dl it, then see its the same. RIGHT? I shouldve just ask Michael via PM... Thx a lot for your freaking help, spiked boy!

Neverf**kingmind!

Yea, sry for not typing right. Im from my phone.
