BS 2 crashes when scene is medium

[dennisllante]

:helpsmilie:I just installed BS 2 and it keeps on crashing only when I set 'scenes' to medium..I can set everything medium except for the scenes..my trees are set at 1500m..water & shadow is low, no heat blur, no HDR.

 

my system is:

 

Win7 home premium 32bit

3.1Ghz 550 BE

4Gb ram

ATI4850

 

is it a hardware limitation?

Win7 home premium 32bit

Could be a limitation in the memory usage:

Try this:

Crashes, Glitches in a 32bit OS (Applies even if you only have 2gb.)

Mustang's Win 7 \ Vista 32Bit 3GB Hack Here

Mustang's XP 32 Bit /3GB Switch Here

I did what you told everything woks fine now..I am able to turn all AA settings on and heat blur..

 

another question, how do I turn on HDR? there's no option of 'ON' in the drop down..also is it normal that there is no 'high' settings option in the scene and texture? just medium? or does BS2 take into account your hardware and customizes the menu buttons.

 

thanks!

HDR/High is only meant to be functional in a 64bit architecture.

 

You can switch it on trough some file-editing but its very likely that you will end up witch a crash again.

 

But here it is (and make a backup of the files you edit!) :

 

This is a example for DCS A-10 , but it is the same you have to do in BS2 - just choose the install path of BS2.

 

Hello LC!

 

You have to edit the optionsData.lua located in your DCS A-10\MissionEditor\data\scripts subfolder. I did it with notepad++ because I'm not sure if it works with the windows notepad/texteditor.

 

Graphic options begin in line 265.

Some of the options (scene high, textures high...) have a onlyArch64 = true behind them. Just set them to false.

Save the file (backup first!) and start your game. All options are available now in the ingame graphics menu.

 

Do it on your own risk and don't complain if the sim stutters with high settings, if you get CTD's or the game even vanishes into thin air!

 

In case you are too lazy to edit the file yourself, i have uploaded it. All restrictions disabled - you can turn on every option (HDR and cockpit shadows) and to high settings.
