Jester_159th Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Sorry guys, I know someone posted about this a while back, but I can't find the thread. For those that didn't see this mentioned before, here are the symptoms I'm getting: When I set up a mission with overcast clouds selected (eg cloud setting at 9 or 10), the mission will try to load (taking an excessively long time), but as soo as the load screen progress bar reaches 100%, FC will CTD. It's definately not the missions themselves since if I set up the mission without overcast I have no problems, but if I quit the mission (which we now know is working) and set the overcast (or add overcast to an already existing mission), it will CTD all the time. Anyone remember if there was a fix for this?

Mustang Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 is the error related to "protect.dll"? i've had the same thing happen to me a few times with an overcast mission, and that filename comes up each time it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester_159th Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Mustang. Thanks for the response. I've no idea what it's related to. When it CTD's it does so with no error message. I just tried it again, clearing all the events from the event viewer first. When I went back there was no new events recorded. If I was getting CTD's in other applications as well I'd be thinking along the lines of a bad stick of RAM, but it's only with FC and only when overcast is set. Is there anyway I can make FC log errors (like a debugging proceedure or something)? If not, the only other thing I can think of is trying a reinstallation.

Han Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Still unlocalized problem. But you can try to turn off AA and AF in graphic card settings, and after that set the LOW graphics settings in LockOn. After that you can rise your LockOn graphics settings one by one, finally you'll find the critical setting or all they will be maximum. Sounds strange, but while it is only one way to minimize this problem. With Best Regards!

Jester_159th Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Sorry it's taken me a while to test Han's suggestions. It seems that it was the Ansiotropic Filter that was causing the problem. Turned off AF and the problem's solved. Just thought I'd post the info incase anyone's having the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
