Help, FL crashes on me at same spot

Sun Mar 23, 2003 10:19 pm by dipstick

Hi, Fl crashes on me as I try to exit the Jump gate from New London to Cambridge as I try to meet Juni and continue the plot.

No matter what I do, it always crashes at that point. I've done everything that was suggested in the Microsoft help forums. (eg. reinstall directx 9, clean boot, check latest drivers, etc etc etc.) Nothing works. IT crashes at the same spot everytime. I've reinstalled FL umpteen times, and defragged my Hard drive. Pls help. I hate getting a nice game only for some "$"$&"$&"§& bug to spoil it for me.

I'm using a p4 2.53 ghz, 256 ddr mb ram, MSI Gforce 4 Ti 4200 128 mb graphics card......... I dunno what else I should enter here.

pls advice.
Thanks,
Chris

Had the same problem but it was also crashing elsewhere.
You have more memory than I do on the card though.

I changed my resolution to 800 x 600 resolution from 1024x768.
I have had only 1 crash since and have actually made a lot of progress in the single player. This was a vast improvement over crashing regularly at 1024x768.
I have also turned off anti-aliasing.

I am using a nVidia GeForce ti4200 with Detonator 41.09 drivers.

800x600 is not a huge difference. There is a small difference in space and then all the station/planetary scenes are a little jaggard.

This has been disocussed several times.

Try searching on "reboot".

Otherwise try disabling 3D sound inm the ingame options.
