You didn't say which version of RA you are running, so I'm guessing you mean RA 1.44?

Thank you for help.
Yes, I am using 1.41 so probably there is the answer to this problem. I am in the situation of trying to upgrade my computer and OS so because of the limits of space of my laptop HD and all I am not too keen to keep up with the latest updates to RA. Rather more interesting to explore depths of DW in the current setup as is. Looks it should be resolved when I upgrade the rig.

I have most of the RA versions installed from 1.41 to 1.44. With a 1TB hard drive, I can get away with it.

Anyway, I checked 1.41 and you're right, that mission fails just before it fully loads.

I loaded it in the mission editor and nothing is red flagged. I haven't played around with it yet, but my guess is that its probably the downed pilot.

You could try to remove the pilot and then re-load him or just set up a newer version of RA. Let me know which newer version you want to try and I'll check to make sure the missions work.

I'm not "sold" on RA 1.44 yet, there are some nice updates in terms of graphics but those changes also make the 3D view look different-enough to throw me off. Its a small thing, really, but on a large screen I'd rather run 1.43. You might like 1.44 a lot more on a lap top

but there have been some problems with the "canned" missions again (I'm guessing the next update should fix this).

I'm pretty sure Stewie (who did those great mission maps) is still running 1.41? Maybe he can check in and let us know how to fix that mission?

Hi ET2SN and thanks for taking your time to test this issue with the mission#2 under RA v1.41. For now, I have skipped this mission and proceed further down which is fine.

There will come I hope the time that I change the rig and will be able to upgrade RA. But even before that I will get some memory for my old laptop in few short days and at that point I will make some cleaning and reinstalling of the game and simulation titles I am fond of.

For the time being am interested though in you comment:

What exactly you mean here? I thought that graphics improvements are good for big and small screens alike. Thanks.

Well, to be honest I'm not sure.

RA1.44 does several things to change the graphics that I've noticed:

-Text is larger and easier to read.

(Note that I run the direct download version of DW from Strategy First, your install may be different). I already borrowed the new fonts and back-fit them to RA1.43.

-The 3D view is now "brighter" (especially underwater) and the compass at the top of the 3D view has changed. This is a small thing, I admit, but it just throws me off when I'm in the 3D view. To me, the new graphics changes aren't better or worse, they're just different.

It shouldn't make a difference, I know, but this is the first time I've seen such a big change since the game released in 2005.

Its nothing I couldn't get used to, I'm just happy to stick with 1.43 for now.

ET2SN · 02-22-18, 12:43 PM

D'oh...

I just figured out something easier. I'll try replacing that mission in 1.41 with the same thing from a later version of RA. That should work, I just need to find the right version.

Meanwhile, try all of the RA missions and see if any others fail.

Then PM me with an e-mail addr. and let me know which missions you'll need.

I have another idea. Here below is the Mission #2 (SA_2DW.mu) from my RAv1.41 installation. It is not working. Can you post your mission which is working so we can compare if there is any difference.
