Technical problems and bugs

[R@S]

Hey Elias

The Racket mission is one of those that stays in your current mission tab and it gives you a discount at the trader in that town. I think you're killing the wrong guys in this mission. When you accept it from the trader, a few neutral characres gets spawned at the entry points, and they start walking towards the trader. They are neutral to you so you have to right click first to get the shoot icon before you engage them. Your goal is to protect the trader, so stay close to him and wait fort them to gat within shooting distance. There'll be 3-5 hostiles, when they're dead, talk to the trader again, and Bob's your uncle.

The CTD's you're experiencing can be fixed by setting all your files in the \BMP\HUD\ sub-folders to read only. You need to do this after a new install, when the files are uncorrupted. Otherwise you'll be using the corrupted ones.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Good Luck

@ Elias_Maluco

on a side note, those bandits you're killing are for the Mechanic quest, so definatly unrelated with the Racket thing.

So I cant recommend this game in its current state: if you are reading this while deciding to buy or not this game: dont do it before they fix it.

Well yes, the game has alot of problems in it's actual state, but R@S22 and myself are fixing as much as we can actually, and some others are doing it aswell.

You can get alot of infos and fixes here

And a mod we're working on to improve the game and provide fixes along here

I have the same problem like GAZA76,I got game crushed during every fight...almost. and I also bought it in Singapore
but,I'm using XP,and my computer is not very good. I hvae 2140 for cpu ,8600GT GPU. 2G memory. I use low resolution since someone told me that 1024*768 is flawed. I turn down all the effect ,but nothing changed..

What does your log file say about those crashes?

Do you use the unofficial patch and have you set the TGA files to read-only?

[silaris]

I did use that patch,But I' vn't set these TGA to read only.....
The crush reports are always something like the text below:

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.

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
