I love FPSC games, I really do. They are generally scarier, darker, more depressing, and just better in the horror category. But I find that I'm having a harder time trusting them. For one thing, they always seem to crash, and are upsetting in themselves, because they are pretty much unplayable. Don't get me wrong, Euthanasia was a great game! I just hated that I could never complete the second level, because the game would always crash at the same part. Darkness Evolved was good too, but again, it crashes at the same part each time. And Undergrounds was good, but was insanely hard and constantly crashing.
I don't know whether or not to trust the engine, because I know it all too well for crashing. I want to play an FPSC game that doesn't crash for once. And the patches never seem to work either. Any time you get a patch for one of those games, it never works. I feel that I can't play anything that was made with the FPSC engine, because no matter how fun it is, it will always crash.
And I'm wondering if it's just me, or if FPSC games just crash. I don't want to constantly try to play something that is known for crashing, and I am wondering if anyone else has this same problem. Am I alone in this one? Or do FPSC games just crash? I must know.
It is not just you. It has been my observation that these games have a tendency to randomly crash on some machines but run perfectly fine on another. I never had crashing FPSC games while others with similar settings and operation system have crashes all the time.
I hope that reloaded...the new fpsc...will be more stable.
I am releasing a FPSC game and tried to minimize the crashes. Please try out the demos and let me know if you see any issues.
Issues that I have seen:
Graphic mode changes (screen is darkened by any application)
Models in thegamecreators library (some models are not stable in the game)
Missing textures due to mislinked files and missing files
Too many corpses to clean up that happens when you use some sort of large area effect weapon
