New to SWAT PORTAL. Reviewed MANY threads and have not as yet found a related issue...so here goes:After Mission 36:After returning to the Order in SOL, the next mission is to go to Altair. I Launch, then get the mission brief screen, and when I press CONTINUE I crash to the desktop with the Launcher still present. I then get the "Program stopped running..." error message and the only direction is to "Close Program". I tried many times with no luck. I went backward one mission and re-ran it succ…

An additional comment or two concerning some "other" problems that seem to be associated with the "Mission 36 Crash" as I previously posted.1. I obtained (much earlier in the campaign) Phoenix Cannons. While in space the Cannons are visible and work.2. However, when I get to Manhattan from the "Rift", the Cannons are not visible on the ship! Also, the Cannons in the weapons readout are not named though do have their characteristics shown with no "Title" to these attributes as well. It makes it "…

First, thanks for the replies.To respond:1. To CyberBluejacket: No, I save myself and never use Auto-save.2. To SWAT_OP-R8R: I am not sure what you mean by "Bonus Mission" (would you please explain).I finish getting the Key and the Device then head back to Altair, get cut off by the Coalition, then I am let free and I return to finding the Altair route and I do. I get back to Manhattan, go meet "The Captain" and launch. When the launch cut scene ends and I get what I call a "Mission brief summar…

Additional information I think might be relevant:I first downloaded Crossfire from the ModDB site (Amber).My re-installs used that Zip file.I never saw the "bonus mission" info until now since I just downloaded from SWAT Portal!!!I have removed everything, cleaned up the PC, did all virus (etc.) scans, defragged and reloaded all (FL, FL Patch, Crossfire) and I will be re-starting the game. I plan on using previous saved games, though only the saved games prior to Mission 24.I appreciate the repl…

Now I am really frustrated and also confused.I uninstalled everything, cleaned and scanned and defragged.I downloaded Crossfire from SWAT PORTAL (v2.0.1).Loaded FL, FLPatch1.1, Crossfire.All saved missions, starting with Crossfire Mission 1, show all of Crossfire's new equipment(s) as "IDS?".There are no names shown for these, and no descriptions of what they actually are, except for guns.I deleted all the Crossfire saved games, insured they were also gone from Single Player Backups, and restart…

bokipk,Thanks for the reply. Yes, I do use Revo also! I do a thorough "cleaning" from the Reg, I run virus, malware and spyware routines as well. I load the game on an External HD.From the beginning, ALL went well until actually on the Deliverance, given the mission to Altair after meeting the Captain, launching out the door and then the "mission briefing recap" appears (as usual) and I press "Continue"...and it crashes. I never use Autosave, I save and name the save whenever I am docked (an old…

OK, this might be a long one:First, if it was a snake it would have bit me! I just loaded everything on my Win 10 machine and have had no problems getting to Deliverance and moving on! This was as a result of bokipk suggesting use another partition...and I realized the use of my other laptop. {I am at the Dyson Sphere mission and on Icarus Station as a result!}The graphics effects are as follows (best I can report):1. With the Weapons of Crossfire (not FL) they all function fine and appear on th…

Thanks to all for the replies.I went back to the last FL mission and re-ran it. When I went to Crossfire Mission 1 and proceeded. When I got to the Sovetskaya system, and stopped at Kuibyshew, I got the Phoenix Cannon and Vulcan Battery but saw other guns that were labelled "IDS?" And, when at the dock, the Phoenix did not appear yet the Vulcan did??So, what file might be missing? I'd like to check. Again, note that the guns all work well and ARE seen in space flight only.And, what do I after ge…

SWAT_OP-R8R,I understand what you mean about write protected files. What I do not understand is this: When I first started, and up to Mission 36, These "IDS?"'s did notappear. Up until that Mission ALL equipment (weapons, shields, scanners, tractors, ships) was shown with full descriptions and Stats. After that one mission,the "IDS?" and lack of descriptions and names went retroactive! Past missions, even in the FL part, indicate the same errors?!?I have re-downloaded Crossfire (2.0.1), cleared …

Thanks SWAT_OP-R8R.I understand and will look further.I was not complaining about the game, just hoping I made some fool mistake and the symptoms be recognized.I have to look into why, and why on 2 machines that do not use the same virus stuff.Thanks for the replies and the tolerance!Now if I can only get back to the Coalition....GunnyMikeNever Outgunned

Thanks bokipk!I have retraced what all I can think of. I'm going to clean out everything and restart, and again, on a separate drive. I am re-downloading CF2.0.1 and using a new drive.I did not save the saved games when I last installed. I made sure it was all clean as an initial install. I knew something else was wrong when I started CF at mission #1 (a brand new game) and the Manhattan Equipment dealer had shields that were labelled as "IDS?"!!! I do appreciate your offer! I'm going to retry..…

SWAT_OP-R8R,I took another look and found that namesresources.dll is 301Kb, not 471+Kb!!! That is the same size as the FL file.I am trying to figure out what is causing the file not to be updated. In the meantime, is there a way that file can be obtained (by me!) to see if that is, in fact, the real problem?? I would simply replace the file and see (if that would work).Additionally, does that file also have the item descriptions and stats? If not, could you clue me in as you have with the namesr…

I could really use some further advice on this issue.I have no AV in use, UAC is set correctly, and the FL and CF folders are not write protected.I have bribed the Coalition Diplomat on Earth.The Anomaly still cannot be recognized, therefore not "dockable".I have uninstalled, cleaned up, re-downloaded CF, re-started FL (from original CD) and CF and played through with no side tracks (to avoid missing a trigger).I have made certain that no "hidden" program is running in the background, no setting…

No. As a rule, I never use Autosave. I always save when docked.I am really confused because of the cleaning and turning off of all background programs and the like. I checked many files like the names resources file and found none are write protected. i got a fresh CF download, used my original FL CD, did not install any patches.Game play is great, "eye candy" is super, I just cannot get certain items because there is no description, such as some ships with no name and no stats or a weapon with …

Thanks for the advice bokipk, I'll give it a try, before a Windows re-install!!!Also thank you SWAT_OP-R8R, I'll see after I try the above.By the by, I have made progress in that I go here and look at and make notes on the items I seek. Example, finding the stats on a weapon here, then looking at the stats (if presented) in the game, I can get the weapon of choice without worrying about it being named! Also, I replaced my Flathead with a Redemption. No problem that it is not "named"...it works g…

Freibeuter,I have 2 SSD's. I have also used an external drive to load CF per previous advice.And yes, all drives are OK and running fine and are at full capacities, no errors.Per my last, it was hard to get what I wanted since most of the items were either not named and/or did not have stats.I overcame this by looking on site, making notes and comparing with selected items, such as the Redemption ship. It did not have a name or stats however, I was ableto compare the ship photo with that present…

OK all you guys...this has twisted my brain!i went to play tonight and I updated...about 43 files I believe.After the update finished I started the game and ALL the IDS? crud was gone!Names and Stats are ALL present.I do not know what the updated files were, but whatever they were...they fixed the whole thing.I did nothing prior to this (other than continue playing).I only have 2 comments:1. I still cannot get through the Sol Dimensional Anomaly.2. The added (or increased) "Motion Blur" is very …

Thanks again!!!I hope that the "effect" the latest update had for me might give a clue for someone's future situation.And again, all the advice and time you all spent on my "problems" is greatly appreciated.So, close the thread if you like...I'm now on my way to Tau Ceti (because not even a bribe opens the Sol Anomaly!!!)GunnyMikeNever Outgunned

The only "problem" I have now is that the Sol Anomaly does not open!I'm not sure what you mean by finishing the game. I have finished the game and am continuing to play. I use planet Crossfire as home!When I first played, I stopped at some Outposts while traveling through Coalition space (instead of strictly following the Mission Waypoints). That's where I bought Vulcan Batteries. With your prior suggestion, I restarted from the beginning and when I got to the Coalition mission, I did not stop a…

Thanks to all again for the replies.I'll try the Mission 35 download and see.And again, for understanding, the Sol Anomaly not opening is the only thing not working as designed. (The Coalition Diplomats do not offer to speak, so no bribe able to be made).Oh, and the Defender was not on when I installed and is not on when I play.GunnyMikeNever Outgunned
