CAotD CTD when trying to "Program FAT"

kgsuarez · 11-04-09, 06:21 PM

Hello all.

I just figured out that CAotD is consistently crashing to the desktop when, during the late war, I click on the "Program FAT" button on the torpedo loadout screen.

I have tried this both during campaign mode and single mission mode. It always happens. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there some kind of a workaround or fix?

This sucks.

The DOS version of CAotD doesn't have that bug. It's the exact same game minus the bugs and voice recognition. Runs perfect using DOSBox. I use D-Fend Reloaded to greatly simplify the DOSBox set up of games. Just letting you know in case you didn't know.

... and minus the 640x480 and 1280x960 res

, but it also doesn't have the blocky 3D models of CAOTD

The 3D models in both games look equally blocky to me. Maybe it has to do with my DOSBox settings... I am almost willing to state that the models in Command look better.

I can't say for sure though, perhaps I could get both versions of the game running side by side to make a comparison?
