ALDEGA

The AI is probably the most cpu cycle consuming part of this game :-/

Antichrist: there are indeed no ferraris in Czechoslavakia. That's because Czechoslavakia doesn't exist anymore. Now it's Czech Republic / Slovakia

Are you sure it's the upgrade, not the "GOLD EDITION"? The GE has known problems. I do believe codemasters said there was no problem with the upgrade discs. Since it keeps spinning (implying your cdrom drive cannot read the data), I suggest you go to http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/ and look in the troubleshooting section.

About the gfx: may be a driver issue. About the sound: it's a known SB Live issue (I have it too, I always switch to internal view when necessary) About the framerate: don't ask questions, just enjoy the hi-res

"Don't bother chaps, he's the muppet from GD who got himself banned" say what? Please elaborate

- It's a driver bug. - or your videocard does not meet the minimum requirements. (disabling multitexturing may help in this case)

Adding RAM is one thing, but a faster cpu is required too. Lot's of missions do not run fine on my Athlon 650 when there are too many ai units (alive). After I've 'terminated' a bunch of AI, the framerate will go to a normal level.

Well, that's great to here, enjoy the game.

1 it's visual basic, not virtial basic 2. it's an activex control. I believe it's about "common dialog's". E.g. the one that shows up when you press "open file...". Normally this file should be on your system. Some other program's uninstaller may have deleted it though. If you tell me which OS you've got, I may be able to send you mine.

http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/trouble/3ddevice.htm Also, could you please specify a detailed specification overview of your system? E.g. AMD Athlon 800mhz / 256 MB RAM / WinXP Pro / using nvidia detonator v23.11 / sound blaster live etc...

I think he means the problem has been there in version 1.42 and newer although his logs only show data since 1.46.

Probably because you're using win9x drivers

Indeed, nothing is wrong, don't worry.

Generally speaking: Higher values offer better stability, but less performance. Lower values offer better performance, but less stability. There aren't any set numbers that apply to all memory chipsets. Again, generraly, more expensive RAM will allow you to retain stability at lower values. Cheap RAM will normally only be stable at higher values. If you want to get the most out of your memory, you need to try out different settings. However, I recommend that you use SPD (serial presence detection). Using SPD (when available) will use the values that the manufacturer of the memory saved onto the SPD, which is on the printed circuit board (the green 'thing' to which the memory chips are attached).

This has been debated alot in the past. Join In Progress will never be implemented in OF due to the great amount of work involved to implement it and the fact that this feature isn't THAT necessary. Could only be useful for DM/TDM/CTF missions. It would be useless for coop.

say, gamecopyworld dude, I bet you have an illegal copy, don't you?

v23.11 are known to cause lockups, so don't use them. "screen seems as though it goes to sleep, no indicator light on the monitor" I believe the answer to your problem is simple. The refresh rate for the resolution in which you play OF is set too high. This causes your monitor to shut down. You need to set the refresh to a lower value. You may do so by opening flashpoint.cfg and adding the following line (if not present already); "refresh="75";" replace '75' with whatever your monitor supports at the selected resolution. 60 hz will certainly work, however it will flash too much. I suggest you take the highest available.

gamecopyworld, your name is very disturbing

Espectro, could you please be a little more respectful towards the people at BIS who have put alot of time into improving this stuff? thank you

The only thing that I can imagine is that your face is in an unsupported format. Are you sure it's a regular non-progressive jpg? Perhaps you can upload it somewhere, then we can try it and see if it's the face or your OF installation.

Setting RAS/CAS to values which are too low indeed can cause instability.

I hope he can provide the necessary info.

I encountered a problem while playing on some French 1.48 ded. server. I tried one mission, no problem (btw, I was the only person on that server). Then I selected another mission, on "winter kolgujev". as soon as I pressed "ok", the game reported "session lost" (four times). Then it showed the wait for server screen and froze for a while. After exiting the game I went back to "all seeing eye" and the server was gone, implying it had crashed.

First you need to make sure you are familiar with graphics editing in general. You can do two things: - use opaque transparency (as used in my squad logo) - use alpha transparency The transparency data is to be stored in the alpha channel (note that the .tga format only supports 1 alpha channel). check out my squad logo here: http://www.fair4all.cz/OF/squad/logo.paa Btw, you shouldn't put "xxx.tga" in your squad.xml You must use jpg/pac/paa. So make your logo, save it as .tga. Open the .tga in Texview. Save it (the utilty should automaticly save it as paa). Then update your squad.xml to match the name of your new logo (e.g. "logo.paa"). Also don't forget to upload the new logo and squad.xml
