3Sqn_Sven Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Need some help here. I am running stock Lock On 2, no mods. I am getting repeated random integrity check fails on servers with integrity check on. An example, I was just flying in the 104th for about an hour, the game crashed and when I've tried to rejoin I am failing the integrity check. Other times I will fly on the 3sqn server or other servers fine, then come back the next day and the integrity check fails. Getting rather annoying. Anyone see any way to resolve this? Re-installing individual squadron integrity files does not always work, I am loath to do ANOTHER reinstall. 3Sqn - Largest distributor of Flanker, Fulcrum and Frogfoot parts in the Black Sea Region
Moa Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Hi Sven, next time you are required to do a re-install please make a full-directory copy of the newly installed 'pristine' patched LockOn installation directory and rename it. I call mine "LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2 pristine". Whenever you suffer the same problem you simply delete the problematic 'working' directory and copy over your 'pristine' directory (after renaming it to the original directory name). But never ever mod or use that pristine directory (although you can set up your callsign and key preferences etc when you create that pristine directory). Doing a directory copy and rename from backup is far easier and faster than re-installing and doesn't use activations. Now back to the original problem. I have started the game in server mode and noticed that the server callsign changes from time to time. I believe this could be some kind of 'race condition' where there are multiple overriding config files (eg. for networking) and the value used depends on which order they are loaded in. Such non-deterministic loading could be the cause of your problems, but I think that is unlikely. Have you tried doing a disk-check on the drive you use for LockOn? a SMART drive will mask faults unless you are looking for them - so make sure your drive isn't on the way out. Are you overclocking your system and putting too much strain on your power supply (which could cause problems with RAM, which is then later written to disk). Umm, can't think of anything else at the moment. Sorry I can't help more with a definitive answer. Perhaps other contributors have more and better ideas ... Edited August 21, 2010 by Moa 1
3Sqn_Sven Posted August 25, 2010 Author Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the help Moa. That pristine one is a good idea, I'll do that in the near future. As for overclocking, yeah I am, I think it's pretty stable, Kuky and Tomace set it up for me and they are pretty switched on with that sort of stuff. PS - Just tried setting the clock back to standard, still having the same issue. Going to reinstall the integrity check download again...
