I am playing RFB 2.0 with RSRDC. I run a Core 2 duo 2.6, HD5770, 3GB ram. I have already completed 3 succesful patrols and the game has run perfectly. On my 4th patrol some odd things started happening. Firstly, and I mentioned this in a previous post- my deck crew did not appear on the bridge after returning them there from Hogans alley after an encounter with a destroyer.
The next time I sat down to play the game, everything seemed fine. I returned to Darwin to resupply and headed back towards Borneo. During the journey, half of my crew, including those from the deck and those in the command room & conning tower, suddenly appeared dressed in black, all except their heads, which appeared correctly. I continued regardless (if it were pink I would have returned them to port instantly for a court-martial!).
Having approached Balikpapan for a sneak harbour attack, I hit the fire button and the game crashed. In addition to the 3 or 4 further crashes I experienced (it has never once crashed on me before), I had fired a torpedo at a tanker in the harbour- at the point of impact the boat simply disappeared- apart from the masts and funnel. The ship was 'still there' though as she was smoking away from the impacts and slowly sinking. Immediately after this the whole screen went bright green, then came back to the game, then green screen again. I pulled up the task manager to quit the game thinking it had gotten seriously dumped, only to notice that the game had gone back to normal again. It was at this point that I was beginning to think my graphics card was failing. Anyhow, thinking it best to end this bugged patrol, I headed for base, docked at Freemantle and saved and quit the game.
For the next 3 hours my son played BF2 BC online on the same machine- no sign of any problems with the PC....
My feeling is (and it's a guess at best!) is that something went wrong during the original problem with my absent crew, and deteriorated from there. I was wondering if by ending the patrol I might possibly be 'resetting' the game in some way when I start my next patrol. I really hope my whole campaign is not corrupted somehow... anybody got any ideas?
