Need Help, Mod keeps crashing

  • Hello,
    I hope someone can


    help me with my crashing problem. I recently downloaded, installed, and activated the new


    Crossfire Mod. I already use FLMM 1.31. When I try to run the mod, the two initial movies


    play fine, but after it gets to the Crossfire startup screen, I crash to the desktop. I


    don't know why it is doing that. Initially, I intend to play the mod in SP mode. I


    appreciate any help, information, or points in the right direction.



    My rig


    is:
    AMD 3500+//1 Gig RAM//Win XPw/SP2//nVidia 6800GT//all drivers/DIrectX current




    Thanks,
    Excal

  • have u deleted all your save games or renamed them?

  • Thanks guys,
    I tried deleting savegames


    and it ran fine. However, I thought this mod was playable in open SP? Wheres my 150 grand?


    :( I've found myself with 500 credits and dealing with Juni again.


    Also, I've


    made it to Benford station mission, but no matter how fast Juni and I get to the Magellan


    Jump gate, I fail the mission and it says I did not take the Jump Gate? Hmmm. I am


    somewhat new to this, and I try to keep up with the boards and readmes, but can anyone shed


    a little light on these issues?


    Meanwhile, I think I'll try the complete reinstall


    of FL idea.


    Thanks in advance...


  • I've got the


    same problem. Uninstalled everything and made sure that the directory also is deleted and


    re-installed with the same results.

  • strangeas i sayed had the problem but i just did a straght reinstall. have you run any


    anti virus checks or spyware checks it could be a virus or somthing

  • Maybe he reinstalled


    it with the mod still active. Hell, I did that my first time [7]

  • What I did was uninstall the Crossfire


    mod before leaving the station. Go through the gate and quit. I then reinstalled the mod


    and started at the autosave and it worked fine. Anytime you get a fail mission, just


    uninstall the mod, complete it, and reinstall Crossfire. It happened again with the Nomad


    Power supply mission but worked fine the rest of the way. Just make sure that you are


    flying a ship that is actually in the game, not one of the added ones, otherwise your


    savegame will not load properly.. you'll appear with no ship.

  • I've tried uninstalling the mod but when I go to load the autosave it crashes to


    desktop, so that trick didn't work for me . Can anyone help me its very frustrating when


    you can't complete a mission even if you have done everything right. [3]

  • it crashed coz you have a ship or equipment from crossfire and tried to play it with


    normal FL


    result = crash

  • O.K I deleted all my guns and equipment from my ship.
    Sold it and purchased a


    patriot fighter still with no equipment or guns, saved the game, quit and deactivated mod


    through flmm, started FL (normal) and tried to load the saved game with the patrot ship and


    CRASHED to desktop. So that little work around DOSN'T WORK for me anyway. Do you have any


    more suggestions, I would really like to play Crossfire. I don't have Broadband internet


    only dial up and live in Australia so playing multiplayer is out of the question.
    It


    looks like a great mod to the game. I have played other mods fine (rebalance and TNG). Oh


    and I had been playing Crossfire from a complete wipe and install as well the only thing is


    that I had nortons antivirus running (as it does) in the background, Could this have caused


    anything? Anyway I hope someone can hepl me cause I really want to play


    it.


    Thanks

  • no it has something to do with the savegames


    maybe


    one other savegame is affected by this and crashing the game

  • A reinstall of FL doaes


    help and I got past your problem. However, You will not get past the Benford station due to


    a bug. They may fix it sometime in the future, but their priorities are mutiplayer not


    single player. Until a patch to single player comes out, I would not use it. Try mutiplayer


    instead.

  • hmm can some1 give me a


    savegame of that mission (before the mission starts) so i can have a look at it without


    playing the whole SP

  • Hey SWAT,
    I'll send you a savegame when I can hopefully


    when I get home. I also deleted all savegames exept the last auto save and it still crashed


    to the desktop, I even went back to theManhatton escape mission and bought a Rhino, again


    with no equipment execpt a scanner (won't let you take off without a radar), disabled the


    mod reloaded the save but still crashed.
    Anyway I'm sure you will figure it out somehow,


    btw it looks like a great mod its just a pitty I can't play multiplayer because of my


    conection to the net is so poor.

  • what may be


    causing it is that OP, you had to create "hardpoints" on the ships for the licenses, sensor,


    etc., right? well it may be in the savegame that those hardpoints exist, but in the normal


    FL, they do not. result? crash =/


    there's my theory ^^


    the easy way to do


    SP is to just download Chip's SP Mod Lite from lancersreactor, and that'll put you on


    manhattan with the story complete. of course, this is for the people that dont CTD. ;)

    I'm baaaaaaack......time to find a group to fly with.

  • thx for the savegame - got it


    Xiron - nice theory... you could be


    right
    but before i think about possible hardpoint savegame errors i want to fix the


    mission bug so no deactivating of CF is needed ^^
