View Full Version : SCXII Bug Victor I class

Does anyone else have issues with the pre-mission weapon load screen for the Victor I boats or issues with the Torp tube locations?

The game crashes if prior to mission start, I try to open the weapons load out for just this boat. I can start a mission fine but then I am stuck with the default load.

Also, I noticed that two of the six tubes are mistakenly external. Perhaps that’s why the game crashes?

I switched the Victor I .Bin file with the Victor II and it doesn’t crash, but then the weapon types are wrong.

I would rather not do this anyway since I don’t know what all is changed in the .bin files.

Is this a known bug and if so is there a fix?

For clarification I am using the original SC (Clean Install, patch 1.08) and SCX from Bill’s site.

Does anyone NOT have an issue with Victor I (i.e. correct torpedo tubes, load-out doesn’t crash game, etc.)?

It would be helpful if others test and verify that it works for them.

I just tried it, and yes. I crashed to desktop. The other Victors had no problems though. Anybody else?

S.D.,

Thanks for the verification.

I checked the Database and the Victor I and II both use the same tubes so the problem isn’t there.

I think it is something in the binary file in the SC/bin/ directory as when I rename the Victor II to I it works, albeit with the wrong weapons, maybe more but that is all that I am aware of.



I also looked through the error report and it said something about a missing jpeg that wasn't present at time of compile.

Did you use the SCXII installer from the Subguru site?

Maybe it is the installer.

Good catch. I did use the installer from Subguru's site.

That’s what I thought.

I’ll bet something was missing when the installer was compiled.

SCXII has been out a while, so it seems unlikely to be an old bug as someone would have noticed.

Any idea who wrote the installer? If we let them know, maybe they can check it.

Sorry, I've been busy this weekend and I almost forgot.

I just sent a PM to OneShot letting him know.


I’ll let you know what he says, if he doesn’t post his response here.
