Game Crashing, Need Technical Advice Please.
Greetings All:
First, I'd like to ask if anyone knows if Freelancer creates an "error" file when it crashes, that might help me locate which .ini file(s) are causing the problem. If not, are there any utilities out there that I might use to track down these types of problems?
I've been experimenting with changing the default loots of sp campaign derelicts ( specifically the weapons on the Corsair wrecks in Omega-7 ). Here are the specifics:
[Loadout
nickname = SECRET_c_co_elite_bw03
archetype = co_elite
equip = fc_c_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon01 ( Changed to fc_c_gun01_mark02 )
equip = fc_c_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon02 ( Changed to fc_c_gun01_mark02 )
equip = fc_c_turret01_mark01, HpTurret01 ( Left unchanged )
The "Angelito MK II" guns work fine on my customized Defender, and I didn't have any problems until Mission 03. The second I destroyed the last Outcast fighter in the Barrera Passage the game crashed to desktop.
Just as an experiment, I replaced the "customized" loadout_special.ini file with a default backup, and the problem seemed to disappear. When I tried using the "customized" file again the game promptly crashed while Mission 04 was loading ( specifically when I was undocking from California Minor ). I'm not sure what the problem is, considering the minor nature of the changes I've made. I'm not even 100% certain if the loadout_special.ini is actually causing the problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
