Technical problems and bugs

[koloret]

another issue found its at the entrance in a sector with a vehicle some times mercs gets stuck in the vehicle and cannot move from there in any way.
more; some missions completed stay remain in the folder of actuals instead of move into folder completed when you done a couple of missions completed you can only review some that the screen show not all the completed missions so when you fill all the screen show in actuals they fail to show any new mission that you get.
people that you meet have a separate dossier with updates of this person same problem, when this screen fills up dont show any more person that already meet so you miss up useful info for this person.

Hey koloret.

I've done you the service of CopyPasta this from the other thead in this forum. I wonder why you dint bother to look there

The 1024x768 resolution is flawed from the start so I suggest you use a different one.
First: The "leave sector" and "black screen" bugs can be fixed by setting all files in your 7.62\BMP\HUP\ to Read-Only. There are several files in the sub folders, so I recommend you do this once and then zip up a handy back-up if a re-install is needed later.

Do this to fix the grenade/shotgun issue
Secondly: There are some issues with the english localisation that leave a few things untranslated in your 7.62\ini\items\ folder. The files are: ADDONINFO and WEAPONINFO. Just open them with notepad and search for the cyrillic letters. In the ADDONINFO file it's mostly the "mm" for the grenades that has been left untranslated. There is also some issues with the rpg-6 and 7. There is already some hotfixes available made by fans for these issues.

In ADDONINFO, change the cyrillic entries to these:

"40 ìì" -> "40 mm"
"40 ìì (ðóñ.)" -> "40 mm (RUS)
"12 êàëèáð" -> "12 caliber"
"40 ìì (ÐÏÃ-7)" -> "40 mm (RPG-7)
"ÑÂ98" -> "SV98"

Thirdly: There is a file in your 7.62\InventoryINI\ file that need to be fixed so that a third of the enemies in random encounters actually has a weapon when the battle starts. The file is Bandit_ser.inv. There is an "S" on the first line that needs to be removed.

You can d/l another fix from here to avoid CTD's when using automatic fire:

Automatic fire fix

Some missions are meant to stay in the current mission tab, they are there to remind you that you have a discount at a certain trader. It was the same in the Russian version.

I haven't noticed the issue you have with the "screen filling up", it could have to do with your current resolution and might get fixed if you change that.

You always have a chance of getting out from under the car, you just need to find the right place to left-click.

Good luck mate

Sorry, how does one go about this exactly ?

I confess I don't know much about tinkering with folders and files and stuff. I haven't a clue about how to get into the 7.62\BMP\HUP\ folder or file or whatever.

This black-screen problem is making my life a complete misery. It wrecked my first game and now, after uninstalling and reinstalling, it's wrecked my second game.

Help !

Never mind. Figured it out eventually.

For all you PC Semi-Literate folks like myself out there, the following way might be the way forward.

From windows start menu:

<CLICK> My computer
<CLICK> Drive C (or whatever drive the game installed itself in)
<CLICK> program Files (or whatever folder the game installed itself in)
<CLICK> 1C Company (this is a folder)
<CLICK> 7.62 - High Calibre (this an icon)
<CLICK> BMP (folder)
<CLICK> Hud (folder)

This opens up several sub-folders. You'll need to go through each of these one by one. Some of these folders also have other sub-folders within. Again you have to go through these as well. A few of these folders open directly into files.

Either way, when you finally get to the files within these folders you need to either select the file directly, if theres only one, or if there are several, you select them as a group by:

<CLICK> Organise - (on the top bar menu - Windows Vista only. Can't remember the equivalent on XP)
<CLICK>Select All

Then to make the files read only:

<CLICK>Organise
<CLICK>properties
<CLICK>read-only
<CLICK>Apply
<CLICK>Okay

Then on to the next folder until all the files are done.

At least that's way I did mine. No black-screens yet, fingers crossed.

Goodluck
