FC2 Freezes after switching between NAV and ILSN mode

Saeid · May 23, 2010

Hi,

Cycling between NAV and ILSN modes will cause my game to freeze! its not happening always but must of the time it is like this. I wonder what can be the problem, does anyone have this problem also?! please tell me if you need more information!

christopher m · May 24, 2010

Yes I am getting the same problem on a mission I have been working on

(mostly I have been working on FPS and how to optimize them in mission making)

It is an Su-25 mission and I have been getting the game freeze when I return from the mission

and the plane automatically changes to ILSN mode

It does not freeze every time but about 50% of the time, enough to be a real drag

The mission does NOT freeze when I am in the Artillery zone with lot's of shells hitting the ground and FPS go down to 10 fps

The game does NOT freeze when I use dense cloud cover (9) and FPS stay down around 15-25fps during the whole mission

I've been working on how to maximize FPS and mission complexity at the same time

Turning OPTIONS on and OFF to see their effect on FPS and also including more and less

ground units/targets and their movements

When I get the freeze the screen freeze's and will not even reboot I have to reset the

computer to free it

I 'am concentrating on the Su-25 right now so I don't have info on other aircraft

My errors.txt is full of statements like all the other posts in this topic (help desk)

My OPTIONS set are (scenes, visibility, textures on high) heat blur off,

civil traffic on, water normal, labels on, full screen on,

I run in sim mode and use sim G effects

I have minimum mods:

FC2 cloud and shadow mod, 6 DoF mod, and fc2 stock sound compression mod

I have not yet modded the graphics.cfg

but I have turned OFF force feedback and TrackIR in Producer.cfg

I have a DualCore running @ 3gig and 4gig memory and I am using XP sp3

My Vid card is NVida GTS 250 with 1 gig mem

What's your rig set up and your game settings ?

Regards,

Yeah my friend it is quite annoying, it happens sometime when I finished a very hard camping mission and then I want to swith to ILSN to see the route for airport then it got freezed. it also happens for my like 50% of times.

My system is:

WIN7 32bit, Intel Core2 Qaud Q6600 @ 3.3 GHz, ATI Radeon 3870 512MB and 2GBs of DDR2 1066. I have all latest drivers.

I am sure it is not my system, I run all other games with no problem.

Gonzo01 · May 25, 2010

Same problem here. It always seems to happen when I am switch between Nav and ILS mode. Sometimes I am cycle through the ILS and complete freeze. Happens about 30% of time.

I also suffer from the same problem. Happened a couple of times now while flying online missions. No lock-up during offline missions yet but pauses up to several seconds when switchin Nav modes.

9JG54Kirin I have the same system as you and the same problem.

AMD Phenom GTX275 Win Vista 64 and same prob. Seems to happen after my waypoints get all mucked up. I cycle through waypoints and they all indicate 1. Swap to ILS and freeze.

Happens multiplayer in the A-10

I experienced the same isue in LOCREF2-10 for the first time.

This is a very annyoing bug!

I have this as well, in single-player. It seems to happen most often if I'm switching nav modes while on or near an airfield. I actually stopped using ILS mode at all because I'm scared of cycling nav modes. :(

Mostly it causes the game to completely hang and not resume. I can Ctrl+Alt+Del and get to task manager, and it will be sitting at 25% CPU (1 core, I have HT disabled).

It's happened twice tonight - but the first time it did actually resume after freezing for a few seconds. The second time I waited about a minute before giving up and killing it.

Intel i7 920, GTX 295, Win7 x64.

Aliboy · July 5, 2010

I used to have the exact same problem in FC1 I solved it by setting affinity using task manager to just one CPU for Lock-on. I have the intel i7 920 too but now in FC2 i don't have to do this but you could try it out.

If I am not mistaken, that happens when you have created incomplete routes in the mission editor; when you start mid-air or when you don't create a landing waypoint.

Try and create a complete route for your aircraft with a takeoff, navigation and landing waypoints and you'll be able to cycle normally.

Sawamura · July 5, 2010

Experienced it also once. Flying online with an F-15. The first time, the game froze complete, that i couldnt continue. Second time, the game froze only for like 5 seconds but continued afterwards.

Wolf Rider · July 6, 2010

same here, system freeze (Task manager to kill it) on the stock F-15c Ramp Start and Navigate mission.

If I am not mistaken, that happens when you have created incomplete routes in the mission editor; when you start mid-air or when you don't create a landing waypoint.

Try and create a complete route for your aircraft with a takeoff, navigation and landing waypoints and you'll be able to cycle normally.

I definitely have a complete route for my aircraft (A10) - takeoff from ramp (Kobuleti), some navigation points, and then landing back at Kobuleti.

I can most frequently reproduce it by returning to Kobuleti, landing and rearming (and in this particular case, repairing), then taking off again. If I cycle modes, it seems to lock up.

Just before reading this post I had it happen again, and tried to create a simple repro for it but had no luck. In this repro, I started in the air just before Kobuleti, had a landing waypoint at Kobuleti, and another nav waypoint to the south. I landed, turned around and took off again, then switched nav modes a few times and didn't have any problems.

I did however note that after departing, if I had waypoint 3 selected and toggled through to ILS and then back to Nav mode, WP 1 was now selected.

Also, it didn't seem to be activating the "return" mode. So possibly the problem is related to having a complete route, and completing it, and then flying on again -- possibly the game is trying to find the next waypoint in the route and getting stuck?

Will keep trying to find a reliable and minimalist way to reproduce it.

count me in

Same problem here.

I also posted a new topic because I didn't see this one!!

In my case occurs during offline games, i.e. Spring Blood campaign.

Any solution??
