The Blue Sun Mod

[Tozmeister]

The memory leak was added by Aperion at the request (and vast expense) of Microsoft so they could keep selling X-Box's to re***ds. Otherwise PC's would take over the world on the backs of games like this.

[LtChambers]

Obviously the expense wasn't too vast or Apeiron would still be in business.

The funny thing is that I occassionally got CTDs playing JA2 1.13 also. And it's actually faster to get back into the game with 7.62. Clearly something in JA2's engine isn't scaling well!

@ R@S: I'm experiencing errors when I try to enter the Blue Sun Base. The game fails to load the minimap as well as the map itself. To me it looks like there is the whole map missing.

[R@S]

The minimaps are inside the BlueSun.azp while the mesh files are in the map packs. I think your log should say which files are missing, if any.

Do you mind having a look?

This explains it all, make sure you copy ALL the files from the 3 media packs to your Media.pack folder.

[the_Brain]

As I said, the Base- files are missing. I'm gonna download it once more, but so far there were no such files...

PS: I just dl'ed it again, using the links in the first post. Seems like the links postet @ Taktikzone are outdated...

Btw: How do you like my latest additions?
