Squad XML crashes people to desktop?

Recommended Posts

Having a bit of trouble with vehicles. On 1-2 vehicles, the squad XML works fine. However, when there is about 3 or more vehicles in your view, you CTD with no error message. It also isn't the same for everyone. Sometimes person A will crash, and sometimes they won't, person B will crash instead. This has happened to multiple people. As soon as you take the XML off, everything works fine.

This is the same XML we've used in ARMA I and it worked fine. Has anyone else run across this problem and been able to fix it? :)

Searched these forums but haven't come across a solution as of yet.

There was an issue for some ATI cards and ArmA 1, that would cause people to CTD: Having a texture referenced in the squad.xml that wasn't dimensioned as powers of 2 (e.g. not 256x256 or 1024x256) would cause crashes. So perhaps if you changed the texture, that could be the cause.

Remember with Arma 1 a Team ran there XML with wrong dimensions causing all ATI Players to CTD, when we looked at the ingame logo.

Have you converted it to .paa with the latest bitools 2 ? i heard that arma 1 and arma 2 .paa file format is different (not sure about this).

Snakedoc - no, didn't even cross my mind. At this point it is definitely worth a shot, as it is consistently crashing our members out of the game. I'll give it a try tomorrow. I posted in another thread about actually creating the .paa see here which is something else I'm having no luck with. I suppose that could be related to the new bitools. maybe.
