Comments - Shadow86

This mod seems to be geared towards multiplayer, like many other Freelancer mods. However, this page says it's "Single & Multiplayer". I'm not too into MP due to my poor connection, so can anyone tell me if 88 Flak is an enjoyable singleplayer experience as well?

I'm doing some testing with version 2.5.2 now. The game no longer crashes when heavy bombers attack capital ships, but it crashed once for some reason when one of my destroyers was fighting a couple of Vagyr frigates.

I read around about Homeworld2 problems with newer videocards and tuned some settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel. I resumed my 2.5.2 game and experienced no further classes (my DDI-82 saw a lot of action). My tweaking may or may not have fixed it.

I'm gonna try 2.5.5 later and see if heavy bombers work correctly now. I'll post the results, and the options I changed in the control panel if it solves the problem.

I'm referring to the BF-16C Heavy Bomber. In this case, the targets are Vagyr DDG-92 or CV-101. The bombers have been upgraded with the SRR (I think) munitions and armour.

My 1.1 game is completely unmodified, and only has the TFSv2.5.big file in the Data folder besides the vanilla game stuff. I also have a savegame in which this particular event can be reproduced. Bombers are starting their run, and shortly afterwards they fire and the game crashes to desktop.

I'm running on 1280x1024, but I've tried 1024x768, lowering effects, geometry detail, scaling and shadows, but the problem persists.

I'm not using the "-overridebigfile" string either. The shortcut path is simply "D:\Games\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe -mod TFSv2.5.big"

The mod is amazing, but I'm getting a recurrent crash in a pretty critical part of any engagement involving capital ships and bombers. I'm playing as the Hiigaran, and shortly after my heavy bombers fire their torpedos/rockets at a capital ship (so far, it's happened against a destroyer and a carrier), I get a CTD. No error message whatsoever.

I'm using Homeworld 2 v1.1 and TFS 2.5.5 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 PC. My hardware specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (dual-core)
2 GB RAM DDR2
NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT (drivers up-to-date)

Please, I need help on this. I've tried disabling shadows, just in case, and it didn't help at all (though emblems finally appeared on my ships). The mod's really good, but this totally breaks it. I can't just stop using heavy bombers...
