Following my recent problems with being banned, which usually occured after a crash and then trying to log back on, I have set my Shader options to No Selection and Partical Colours to No Selection. I have played for several hours and had one crash yesterday and on crash today. I wait at least 2 minutes before logging on again and so far i have not be banned. The crashes usually occur when I am involved with large numbers of npcs and have tractored in several items, this may be totally irrelevant to the problem but I thought I would mention it just in case.

Yes, it was a very smooth update. No error messages at all. Many thanks for your assistance.

Well it has now updated as it should. I have no idea what was wrong, maybe a registry error. However, I turned off my PC overnight and rebooted this morning. I then used the launcher to load crossfire and this time the shader loaded and updated correctly without any error messages. i now have 5.4.2 installed and everything appears to be operating correctly.

So if anyone else does get this problem a reboot after the update might be the solution.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this problem. I only wanted to bring it to your attention just in case it was an issue. It appears to be a problem with my installation and/or general set up issues. For the time being, I have turned off the shader and I am able to play the game without any problems. This also removes the banner from the top of the screen. If I discover what caused the failure to update correctly, I will off course let you know. Once again thank you for you time.

I downloaded the installer for the latest version 5.4.2 and ran the the app. Despite the app stating it had installed the latest version I still get the message showing the old version and the errors incured. I have tried uninstalling the old version and then reinstalling but still no change. I have check the files and I can't find any that are write protected. It is probably me not knowing what I am doing, but I thought you might like to know this.

Many thanks, as I suspected it was probably at my end. I have not write protected any of the files so maybe it is an antivirus issue.

Sorry to trouble you, but I thought you might like to know that this morning I received a launcher update and then a file update.

There appears to have been a shader update within these files. This has resulted on the banner remaining on screen instead of autohide.

It maybe down to my set up, but just in case it is not, here is a screen shot.

Welcome to the portal, the Hammerhead can be purchased at Freistadt Base in Omega 7 or Mostar Dock in the Wheel of Sirius. You should visit the Crossfire Wiki it will give you a lot of information about the mod. Good luck and fly safe.

Thank you all.

I, along with other established pilots, am often asked by new pilots, entering Hiruga for the first time, “how do I get out of here?”. I have also occasionally been asked how to get from one station to another. Like many pilots before me, when I first entered Hiruga, I drew a map with all the connections and kept it to hand, but over time it fell apart. I then decided to add an algorithm to my wiki so that it would be easy to give directions to and from anywhere in the Hiruga system. I thought they might be useful for others. Whilst I can’t upload the app., I can upload screen shots of the two most used routes and one of all the connections. They are not brilliant images but the connections can be seen. They are of course a spoiler!

Sorry, I made the mistake of thinking all GRs were Clan Leaders.

Images

Ships & Weapons

Martin, during our processing of the information for the Renaissance Systems, you mentioned data for the stations. I had that data in my own database, but, at the time, I had not checked it out. I have now been able to do that and produced pdf files and jpg files similar to wiki.

In my travels, I could not find any base descriptions, so I have left this blank. Because there are quite a few files, I will break them into three posts. This post has attached the base information; I will then do one for the ships & weapons and finally the images for the stations and ships.

All is well, he had his characters renamed by Mercenaro about an hour ago, I was on line at the tme.

I believe you are asking for your clan tag to be removed, namely a name change. This can be done by a GR, I believe. I have seen Mercenaro do it on line, so just ask when you next see him or any other GR. I also assume OP can do this, if you ask nicely, and if you do not have too many characters, as he is a busy man.

Well this is my last report, as I have completed the update for all the systems. Firstly, to be added to the description of the Alsace system, should be the fact that there are three Ion Cannons protecting the jump hole from Luyten.

Luyten is dominated by the two Neutron Stars which, apart from when travelling through one of the three clouds in the system, can be seen from all parts of the system. I have not found any more objects in the system, so getting images was restricted to the wrecks and the Neutron Stars, which are a sight to see, but at a distance, else you will be fried in the radiation field. So as per previous updates I am attaching pictures for you to select whatever you wish.

Martin if you need me to recheck anything let me know. Thanks for updating the Wiki.

Last one for today, New Caledonia.

Procyon was, as expected, very hostile and difficult to get images, so I have attached a few for you to select from. The Nomads decided to destroy the wrecks just as I positioned myself to take the shot. However, they were very dark and I did not think it worth going back again.

Burgundy images, about half way there now, let me know if there are any problems.
