  • Custodian -> X-3043 crash in SP

    Quote from Huor

    It crashes while an SpaceObj is being created. Would need to test that somewhen later with proper background data ;)
    Maybe something that shouldnt be there. I remember to have had this crash when i freshly started MP and just head to X. The game crashes as soon as i entered X (the white flash in the video sequence while jumping).

    That is exactly the point when the game crashes! When I jump from Custodian to X, there's this first worm hole tunnel-effect, and when it is supposed to show the white flash and the second tunnel-effect with slightly different colors/graphics/textures, game just CTD. I never get the crash when I jump between New York and Custodian, and I haven't progressed in the SP further to try jumping anywhere else.


    Needless to say, my computer is running just fine with a lot of different games, lemme see what I have installed ATM: Driver SF, Trine 2, Witcher 2, NFS The Run, Civilization V, Dirt 3. CF is the only game where the crash happens in exactly the same point every time, so that would prove that there is some kind of compatibility issue.


    Swat: I can run Prime 95 for hours without a hitch, so I would say my set up is stable enough.


    But I appreciate for all your help, hope you can figure it out.

  • Custodian -> X-3043 crash in SP

    Thanks Michael, with further investigations, the problem is definitely graphics adapter or driver related. Here's what i noticed:


    - With Catalyst 11.8 and Catalyst Crossfire on the game crashed when jumping to X-3043
    - With Catalyst 11.8 and Catalyst Crossfire off I managed to jump to X-3043 and saw the planetary system for ~10 seconds or so, before the crash. Better, but not in there yet. So that made me thinking, maybe the Crossfire is not Crossfire compatible, oh the irony...


    So I installed new Catalysts 11.12, but now the game just crashes in the main menu no matter which setting I choose for Catalyst Crossfire. :thumbdown:


    Heck with it. I'm supposed to buy a new graphics card anyway, though I feel a bit unnecessary to buy a new performance card for a game released in 2003... :rolleyes:

  • Custodian -> X-3043 crash in SP

    Hi!


    I'm currently playing Crossfire 1.90 in SP and I've just passed mission 2 and I'm gathering money to level up to meet Juni. So, I've collected a few escape pods I was planning to sell in Alaska, but every time I jump from Custodian to X-3043 game crashes to desktop. Not able to access X-3043 is what I would like to call a fatal bug and a gamestopper.I've been looking through various forums and posts and all the tips I was able to find, were suggesting to turn off 3D sound (it's disabled) and not to use any waypoints on my way to X-3043 (I was not using waypoints). I did a fresh installation.


    Now I'm all out of options here, could you please help me?
