crashes.. are 1.94 and 1.95 patches necessary?

[juxie 0]

I have been experiencing crash to desktop on host machine when I play my own MPMission.

I heard too many addons could cause CTD.

I have created mod folder and under this mod, there are 47 addons.

My MPMission has used both in-game addons and the mod addons.

When I replace one of my mod vehicle used in the mission with the in-game vehicle, it works without crashing.

Whenever it crashes, Flashpoint.rpt will report:

=======================================================

I read about -nomap, tried it. Still CTD.

However, somehow my OFP was patched with 1.85, 1.90, 1.91, 1.96 without 1.94 and 1.95.

Do I need to patch it with 1.94 or 1.95?

or could it because too many addons?

or I was wondering about addons conflict too..

How much RAM is installed on your machine?

[juxie 0]

1 GB of RAM

[caveman 0]

i have started to get a error also in 1.96 stating my machine is out of memory yet i have 1gb of ram and then it crashed my video drivers making me have to reinstall them again

[Placebo 28]

Juxie try uninstalling completely then just using the 1.75-1.96 patch for whichever version you have: Resitance 1.75 - 1.96 or GOTY 1.75 - 1.96

caveman are you using -nomap? I'll bet you're not? Search for "out of memory".

[caveman 0]

yep i`m using the -nomap

[juxie 0]

Hi placebo

when I tried to patch, it prompt me to patch 1.85 (success)

which I did and patch 1.96 but it failed

do I need to patch all again?

[juxie 0]

oopss.. sorry my mistake..

I am supposed to patch Resistance..

Got it patched to 1.96 now.

Anyway, tested my mission once, don't get crash

will test further..

but wondering why I need to actually re-install and patch it with only 1.96

[Placebo 28]

but wondering why I need to actually re-install and patch it with only 1.96

Well failed patching attempts can lead to corrupted files so it can't hurt to clean it out and start again, as you found here

[juxie 0]

seems to work fine now..

but will try on other machine as host..

[juxie 0]

oh my goodness...

I crashed on another machine

What could be the reason?

[juxie 0]

One thing I would like to ask, I re-installed the whole thing, applied 1.85 and 1.96

Do I need to restart my machine before this new patches will take effect?

[Placebo 28]

Why did you apply 1.85 and 1.96 instead of the single 1.75-1.96 patch?

[juxie 0]

because when I read the install note for 1.75 - 1.96, it consists of patch from 1.86 onwards so I thought may be I need to patch 1.85 too.

It works fine now on one machine, but the other machine not yet

May be I need to restart the machine?

[juxie 0]

The mission still crashes..

Does ofp have a debugging tool which I can use to track down the memory?

I am running out of idea what I can try out  

[Placebo 28]

What are the specs of the machine it continues to crash on?

[juxie 0]

ok, both machine has the same specs

- Intel pentium 4 (3GHz)

- DirectX 9.0b or DirectX 9.0c

- Nvidia Quadro4 980 XGL 128 Mb

- AGP at 128Mb

- Virtual Memory > 1000Mb

- Sound not very sure

[Placebo 28]

What motherboard? (unless I'm being blind and it says that somewhere )

[juxie 0]

I don't really have idea actually

guess it's Intel 875P 800MHz

[Placebo 28]

Hmm seems that's the chipset on board the motherboard, if you install an application such as Fresh Diagnose that will tell you.

[juxie 0]

just wondering..

all of the time the game crash always show the same access violation.

does that mean there is something which is missing?

[suma 8]

When I replace one of my mod vehicle used in the mission with the in-game vehicle, it works without crashing.

My magic ball told me crash is somehow related to AI soldiers aiming at the vehicle. It does not tell me anything more, but my guess is something in the vehicle they are aiming at is broken in the model or in the config (missing or bad geometry, missing some required named points, or something like this).

If you do not know which vehicle is it, what you can do is first try to create a minimal repro case (i.e. remove things from the mission and keep as little as needed for it to crash). This way you will know which vehicle is causing the problem, and you can continue by inspecting it and comparing with other vehicles.
