Hey, you probably got hided due to being a new account, but thats normal.

Since I can see your post now, could you load a save file which is BEFORE you get to that Free Time quest and replay to the part where you get stuck, and now I need the LOGfile.txt and the save-game before you get stuck in the free time quest.

LOGfile.txt location: Game Install Directory\LOGfile.txt
Save games location: Game Install Directory\profiles\your user name\save\

@mirageex
Did you start the game via the new exe?

Yessir, tried both sw3cwEXP and sw3cw.x64.

I get to the main menu, click start new game, skip intro and crashes while trying to load Corrino.

I ran the installer, copy pasted the directory into the window for the main directory of SW3 and then ran the main install, the update and then the hotfix.

What did I screw up there?

Alright, just to be sure here:

While you installed the Mod, did you place all the 3 Installers needed to the game directory and in this Order:
MAIN+RESOURCES INSTALL -> 0.6.1.9P2-RC3 INSTALL -> Hotfix #1 INSTALL

If so, could you please give me your LOGfile after the game crashes and also tell me what files are in the main game directory and also in the Data\ Folder?, Thanks.

To be honest, I suspect missing files, its the most common for this type of crash.

[mirageex]

When you say place all the installers to the directory, do you mean unzip the whole thing in to the Star Wolves 3 folder, or just the installer file itself?

It's possible I may have done that initial step wrong.

[nocalora29]

The Installer itself can be run from anywhere you'd like, just make sure its unpacked and not in a zip file with the other folders, etc.

Also: Did the Installer something during installation? or was it instantly finished? because each of the installers take a while (excluding the Hotfix one)

Just to be sure: Heres a Manual Installation tutorial:
Get all of the 3 Installers [MainResources, 0.6.1.9P2RC3, Hotfix #1]

INSTALLING MAINRESOURCES: Go to the Setup folder and drag everything in there over to your MAIN star wolves installation, the place where the exe also is basically.

INSTALLING THE UPDATE: Go to the Setup folder and drag everything to the \Data\ folder of the game.

INSTALLING THE HOTFIX: Go to the Setup folder and drag everything to the \Data\ folder of the game.

If you did this manual installation, and it still doesn't work, please give me a picture of your sw3 main directory

No joy, still getting a runtime error on first loading screen.

Hey, new user here. I finally got this expansion working after extended difficulties yesterday, including not being clear which file to download, and then the install program which I didn't let me choose the install directory, forcing me to bypass it entirely, though thankfully the manual install directions worked. Everything appears to work fine now except the time compression, which still appears limited to a max of 8x. FWIW the only .exe file I've gotten working is the 8x one; with the normal one, saves load, but my ship won't move. Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong, here, and tips/tricks to get it working? This was one of the main things I was looking forward to in this patch/expansion. Thanks! Paul

Well I just installed the newest patch and tried again. This bug has happened _everytime_ when meeting Alexandra and trying to jump to Solpugae system after that maze, and occasionally on some (specific?) stations. Also, I think it prevented some freeroam quests from triggering, but I can't say for sure.
Well, now it worked flawless.

Also, thank you very much for making this mod . I really like this game series even if it has a lot of flaws, it belongs to the short list of games that I replay once or twice every year along with gems like Alpha Protocol, VtM:B, KoTOR etc.
If only I could get a voicepack that I found to work... Regrettable that they couldn't afford to get voice-acting for this game.

:edit:
It seems I was too quick to celebrate. After finishing that mission for Alexandra, I have been freeroaming for hours with nothing happening, so it seems quests are not triggering. Here are two logs, first one is the one that I finished the quest, quitting it after nothing happened and the second one is picking it up again when I got bored the first time.
