Exit to windows problem

Hey all, I have a rather irritating problem with starlancer... on mission 13 at random places it drops me straight out to desktop... no questions asked. The game worked perfectly up to this point (ever since I turned off 3d sound...).

Any help would be much appreciated because I already almost threw my joystick in the monitor and threw the whole comp out the window...

you may try to check your screen refresh rate, mine is normally set to 85hz, to play Starlancer i need to turn it to the lowest setting, 60hz.

I found an easier fix...
Switch the "Render" mode from DirectX to Software.
(Just for these missions: 13/22/23.)

Watch your 6!

Sometimes this game works better with the lesser installation than the entire one. Try uninstalling, saving your game files, reinstall without the movies, and try again.

I had the same problem with windows XP SP2 when playing starlancer, the best thing to do is drop the resolution down to 800x600, thats it really, no need to change from hardware to software renderer, im running a p4 2.4 o/clocked to 2.9 with all asus running gear, and I had the same probs with missions 13, 18 and 22, so I just played around with resolutions and EAX (which makes no difference) to gameplay at all. Just knock the resolutions down a little and it'll be fine
