What are your computer scheimatics?

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I didn't check the email when reply is sent so I'm glad I checked back here. I'm running top of the line stuff my friend. P4 2.6C, Corsair XMS3500 DC-DDR 400, Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, ATI 9700pro(R), RAID 0 w/2x WD 40gb's, Antec Truepower 480w, thermalright slk-800U, massive cooling mods throughout, 16x dvd, cd-rw, SBLive 5.1. The sound card shouldn't be a problem even though it is an SBlive. The weird thing is I get the same crashes at the same places no less running it on my other system. (2.53, 1066 rdram, Gigabyte 8IHXP, Maxtor 40gb, same vid card 9700pro I swap it back and forth, 420w psu, etc., I normally backup my save games so I can take them back and forth between computers, they are at different locations obviously. I'm really at my wits end on this one. it seams like when I first started playing modded freelancer it would work. Ever since HU V8, rebalance and massive it seams to be getting worse. I know in HU, I couldn't take any missions whatsoever or it would crash. Then in rebalance it started crashing in the enhanced capital ship encounters in the Omicrons when there were loads of ships on the screen. Now I can't go 5 minutes without a crash in massive. Does your FL crash or is it just me? I've re-installed everything I can think of. FL, DX9.0b, WMA 8, WMA 9, the mods, you name it. Running current drivers. I'm actually stumped on this one. I don't have any graphic problems or glitches, sound or otherwise before these crashes. Just either a hang or crash to desktop. I run it using 2x AA and 2x AF on quality mode, 32-bit Z-buffer, mip-map/texture on high quality, no W buffer. what do you think? I was thinking about just trying to load as many ship mods as I could together and mabye stay away from the all in ones.

Me too... my buds and I tried the Massive mod and could only play for like 10 min on our server and the server would dump us all out.....

Any ideas as we REALLY want to play the Massive mod to "spice up" our MP playing time.

Turns out if I just use mini-mods, even patching them together (i.e., Porsche's Star Wars ship pack, slipstream, starviper, etc.). The game does not crash. I did notice in HU that I couldn't take any missions and I would be fine. But this proves to me that it's mainly the mods fault for the crashing and not my disc, software, drivers or machine. Too bad, they're good mods and saves alot of patching little mini mods. But you know, especially the massive, it's pretty much unfinished and would need further modding to really make it right anyway.
