Damned ctd's!

Recommended Posts

Oh trust me if you look hard enough you'll find plenty of complaints, just once you turn 30 you realise your time of death is fast approaching so there are better things to waste your energy on wink_o.gif

I'm getting pretty much the same problem but I haven't looked at the rpt file. Yes I have a soundblaster 5.1.

I'm really getting both of your problems. I get regular ctd's (haha every 30mins - try every 5mins!). Up 'til now I suspected my motherboard so I'm about to install a new one so I'll see.

The other problem with being unable to save I suspect is something to do with the ecp. I'm unable to load a game saved while playing the ecp version using either ECP or plain OFPRes but if I just play normal OFPRes it's ok.

A real pain as I really like the ECP, which by the way, is the Dynamic Range Sound ECP.

I'll try lowering my RAM and AGP speed to see if that makes any difference as well but man, OFP is a buggy game. I'd give up if it wasn't one of my favourites.

I'm sorry to be a fan boy but Opf is not a buggy game, yes it has bugs, but then all games do, except perhaps solitaire, Opf out of the box, patched on a well configured PC will pretty much work perfectly, always has for me, yes ECP seems to bring out a major bug, but perhaps ECP is asking Opf to do more than it was ever designed to do?

It isnt ECP i can tell you , i get these without it too.

I think its somewhat got something to do with these newer patches handling of scripts and such rock.gif

Ok, check this out unless you already know about it.

So it is a problem with OFPRes that just happens to become more obvious when using the ECP.

Well that sucks. Now I know the bliss of the ECP it will be hard to go back to not using it. Pretty much a game killer.

Maybe it's just be but OFP has always given me more problems than any other game I've ever played - by many orders of magnitude. Still rocks tho.

Check out this post, your CTD problems could be caused by the background services your video drivers install automatically.

Just scroll down to the longest post.
