can't finish any instant action mission

[silentbob11]

title says it - mission crashes - most of the time at the final stages - taking off an armoured columm. the game freezes for a few seconds then goes to an error messege (with the little blue A-10 window) than back to debrefieng page on the UI.

it happens with every missions in instant action, and I tried them all. I even tried using the random mission generator - crashes to hell too...

 

any ideas? I know it's a beta and all - but please let me finish one mission!!

Your system looks very capable but what settings are you using? I would try decreasing one or two and retrying the missions. Also if you have the HD box checked, try unchecking. You may be taxing the CPU or graphics card.

 

I have a low end machine XPS 710 2.4 Duo-Core and 9800 GTX+ 512 MB graphics and am running medium settings with water and shadows on low, no heat blur or mirrors. My problem is that by the time I get to the tank column I am almost out of weapons! I am supprised the AFAC thinks I still have a full load!

Are you dropping CBUs?

[Speedbrake]

I returned to Beta 3 and am flying that version. My understanding is that CBUs are not properly functional in Beta 4. The easy missions I am using do not carry CBUs. I use the cannon, rockets, AGM-65s and GBU-38s. I haven't tried the GBU-12s yet as I don;t think they work properly in Beta 3.

Have you checked the CRASH logs in the temp folder? It might help you hunt down the cause.

I often have crashes due to an "access violation" of one sort or another. (Used to be 80% or more of my missions would crash, with B5 it's down to +/- 50%. So, you know, trending in the right direction at least.)

hi all! thanx for the replies but:

1. I have all my settings at high except vis range and water at medium and no mirrors, TSSA, HDR are ON and FSAA at X4 . I have good enough FPS with these settings ~ 30-35FPS, so I really don't it's somekind of CPU stress.

2. no I don't use CBU's, I'm aware of the bugs this beta has with CBU's.

3. actually, what does "access violation" mean?

It means an application attempted to access protected memory of one kind or another, either within its own memory space, or more often, either an invalid address (e.g. 0x00000000) or that of another process, to which it does not have access.

 

Best regards,

Thnx...

honestly, there doesn't seem to be any solution to my situation other then waiting for the retial version isn't it?

same here... I run the East Georgia - Easy mission and at the last? waypoint, where the three airstrips are... the screen locks up and my plane has crashed, when the screen unfreezes.

the track replay doesn't lock up but shows my plane doing a right over left wing roll and lawn dart.
