A problem has arisen in the last few weeks that I need to mention. I think it's related to the developments on the server as OP works toward 1.6. Or it may be related to the new shell. For the past few weeks, IOC_Chuckles and I have been getting booted off the server during jumpgate sequences.
Not just booted from the server actually. My pc makes a sudden loud humming/buzzing noise and goes to blue screen. When I reboot the pc, and get back on the server, my ship is out in the middle of nowhere, about 100k from anything. Takes about a half hour just to get to a familar nav point.
I asked Gunny about it online and he said it can be fixed by turning off my 3D sound, but that doesn't work if you have an HP or Compaq pc with onboard sound. With an onboard sound card, there is no option to disable 3D sound. So you have to turn the sound completely OFF in order to not have this bug. So in the server's current state, anyone with a Compaq or HP pc with onboard sound can't play online unless they...
1) risk getting booted every other jump, which sucks
2) Play with no sound, which sucks
3) Go buy a new sound card, which some people can't afford to do.
Can you look into this please and see what can be done on the server side to clear this up? As I said, it seems to be a recent development. I bought this pc in mid-January and played all the way through the Freelancer plot missions and got a long way into Crossfire before it started. Seems to have begun after the new FL shell was installed.
I'm sure I'm not the only one having this problem, so a fix would be greatly appreciated.
