Smoking_GNU @ The Sith Lords Restored Content Mod (TSLRCM)

It does work, but i think this problem will persist again. Did some testing (and so tired of peragus by now) and this happens every time, Which would mean that i'd have to re-install the game over again and wait until after that bit, save the game and install the mod for the bug to be avoided.

Other than that though, i love this mod so much. The amount of stuff missing from the game is amazing once you actually get to see it first hand, especially on Nar Shaddaa. Great work :D

OK, re-installed the game, played without the restoration mode, and no problem at that point. Must be a problem with some of the new stuff in the mod and with my old hardware (7 year old PC).

Does the mod work if you install it onto the game and then play on on a saved game after that specific point, like when you arrive at Telos?

Started a new game, made it there, same problem with Vsynch on and off, no difference.

Correction, never over 10.000K memory being used by the game according to the Task manager. Usually games like these use well over 100.000K in memory, if not a lot more.

I would first just like to say that this is a great job you have done on this mod, from what i've seen so far it's a real triumph.

But i have a problem. I installed this game for the first time in about 2 years now, got it updated with the latest patched and installed the restored content mod and proceeded to play the game.

I finished Peragus and got the Ebon Hawk to hyperspace as the place exploded, and then the game just completely got insane. Slowed down to about 15 FPS and i can't move ANYWHERE except when i click on something selectable, which at that point is just Atton and the nav computer (which is locked, so i can't go to Telos.

If i try to move, my character starts to move, then freezes in that forward running stance with both feet off the ground, and just spins in place for a while. After that the movement keys don't work anymore, even if i change them to other keys. I've set everything to their lowest settings (and seen a slight increase in FPS) but the problem still persists. If i reload the game and get to the point, the same problem crops up yet again.

I alt-tabbed out of the game to see if something was interfering with it and saw something strange on the windows task manager (this is on XP) the game was using over 90% of my CPU the entire time but almost nothing in terms of Memory was being used by the game, never over 10K at any point.

I'll try tomorrow to uninstall and re-install the entire game without the restored content mod to see if it makes a difference. My PC fulfills perfectly all the recommended hardware requirements and i've played this game in the past without anything remotely similar to this kind of issue.

Any thoughts?

That IS a very nice looking ship. Excuse my ignorance, but is it from somewhere else?

Yes, but how big will the full download be, would you estimate?

Any idea how big this DL will be. It was hard enough downloading 1.82 with the slow connection i have here, but now it's been artificially limiting certain types of traffic (mostly downloads) during varying and changing times during the day.

Has the focus been shifted off 1.9 and onto continuum then?

It really is challenging now. Fail to kill an NPC on a pass and when you get your nose pointed in it's direction again he'll be fixed up with almost full shields again.

I can't wait for 1.9

Also, i hope the cash gap prob for when you have to do missions for kyoto base is resolved. needing to make 10 million when no prisons can be gotten to might be a prob.

Texas, Hamburg, Manchester And Shikoku(sp?)have prisons. And the next level req are so large because of the starting cash being at 150K. I'm not sure, but i think the game calcs the next level as at +50% of the prev level req.

If i may ask, out of interest sake, how far are you with the singleplayer campaign expansion?

Smoking_GNU @ Crossfire 2.0

The missles never hit because i've noticed that NPCs SPAM countermeasures when fired upon. Once saw one NPC going past me literally LEAKING CMs, then i saw the missile from another NPC going past.

I agree, this part really makes missles by players obsolete. I never use them (maybe torps against aliens who don't CM, to my knowledge)

Also, the best way to get money is to hunt criminals and offload their escape pods at a prison.Or after the 1st mission in the SP, explore all the bases in NY and find a trade rought which gives you 1K+ profit for a round trip, did that the first time i did the missions in CF.

Yes, i figured that when one killed me in 2 seconds flat one time, but is the cannon drop rare or something?

Also, it's osts me almost a million credits in repairs and re-arming torpedos to enable me to kill them (added sunslayer torpedo to fire with guns, makes it easier to juggle the keys)

I joined the server recently, and one question: Any tips on ancient hunting? I got 1 ancient energy cannon off the first one i killed, and i've been trying to get one more ever since (for a complete pair) but i've killed a dozen of them since and died almost 2X as much doing so and haven't gotten anything since.

I Think so, so that you don't get to "Pause" while other players are playing on the Multiplayer, but it also applies to the single player. You can still F1 while docking/undocking from a planet or station. Or if you're in the single player and you want to pause to go do something else, press Alt-F4 but NOTHING ELSE, the "do you want to quit" menu counts as a pause screen, just click "NO" when you're done with whatever and want to continue playing.
