Game crashes before menu appears

    Hi all, I'm new here. I've just finished the SP story line, CF style, and was exploring a bit when the game crashed just when I was activating a jump gate. Now it's the 3nd time this bug appears for me; the 1st was while playing SP (activating the New Berling gate). Everytime it was while activating a gate. After the game crashes, I try to reload the game but it crashes before the menu can appear, although I can see the CF intro screen for a few secs.


    My only solution so far was to uninstall everything, clean re-install, and move on. Now after 3 tries, I'm kinda looking for what can cause this. I've looked through the forum to no avail. Is it a known issue?


    I've read all the install instructions (the old save games thing, disable 3d sound, use FFMM 1.31, etc) and I'm following everything to the letter.


    Thanks,

    sounds like a bugged savegame
    try removing the latest one



    next to that the crashes you have with jumping might be due to activated 3d sound, a common issue that FL has

    Got it, had to go through a few save games before I managed to find a good one: the third was the charm. It did set be back a bit but patience is the key. Thanks for your help... NOW GOT BACK AND FIX 1.9! :)
