FOTRS Bug ... Need help

Scharnhorst1943 · 08-30-09, 05:12 PM

Ok, I have a pretty big problem with FOTRS ...

When on patrol, if I hit Esc to save my game, the game crashes and my computer reboots. I have no idea what the problem is or how to fix it.

I have FOTRS + FOTRS - Bug Fix + FOTRS Carrier upgrade installed over a clean SHv1.5.

Can someone please help me troubleshoot on where I need to go as far as files to look at editing?

I also found another bug, but think I fixed it. When in the Museum, if I zoomed in on any unit, the same crash and reboot would happen. I went and edited the command file and found that the external unit camera was dissabled. I re enabled it and I think the problem is gone.

I don't think you understand my problem. I never get to any menu. As soon as I hit esc, my computer crashes and reboots.

Before I would always hit esc to save my game and quit. But I am unable to do this.

I am unaware of any other method or button to get to the exiting menu. I am sorry but I don't know what tab you are talking about ... ???

You do know the flashng button, when you get a message on clipboard ? Directly above that is the exit interface, where you load, save, exit.

"try it you'll like it" She said.

Even with FOTRS you should be able to exit the game using the button in the lower-right corner of the Orders bar. (The "Esc" key was used in SH3.)

I tried this, it caused the same crash and reboot.

However, I have noticed one thing. If I am in the control room, and try to hit esc or the menu button on the lower right ... I get the crash.

I was in the crew management station, and I was able to exit just fine ... I have a strong hunch there is a text edit somewhere causing this ...

Either way, I am unable to save my game while playing ... which is bad. This method you described does not work either. Same crash and reboot.
