Thank you everyone. Could you please check this problem about an access violation? Thanks.

Yet another problem with Operation Flashpoint, slowly but surely i'm becoming frustrated with this game.

my flashpoint .rpt file is reading: Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 005A191E for the last couple of crashes. The others have been a few diffirent codes.

Can anyone help me with this? This, of course, is causing crashes. Doesn't matter wich unit/mission, or whatever.

Please help

Using Y2K3 btw, nothing more except a skypack.

And why should a Dx8.1c game that was designed for Gf2Mx440's care about a Dx9.0c GF6800? Strength isn't the problem, your video card is probablely rolling over to take a nap with little to do. It's a matter of programming logic. Furthermore, while OFP was released 5 years ago, DirectX API decsions were made years before that.
Anything above VERY_LOW is going to get odd results, due to the dynamic interpolation. Running HIGH to VERY_HIGH loads the entire interpolated matrix into memory. On that note, it doesn't matter how much memory your PC has, it only matters how OFP allocates and manages it.

To reduce some of the problems, the engine has object and face culling. That's why when you rotate there's brief lag while the engine rebuilds the cache to guess what you're likely to look at next. Note the difference between level straight flight and hover rotation.

A 2-d instanced billboarded sprite is not a fair or realistic comparison with a 26 face unique staticly placed tree. ( \data3d\sakura.p3d )

That's pretty much what i've been saying, it's not coded properly to suit more powerfull computers and newer hardware.

I worded it wrong i guess, it should've been "code doesn't work as it should on new hardware" rather than "Poor code". I apologize.

Sorry for posting so many threads.

Check my previous threads for specs and driver information.

The fact is that it was poor coding on BIS side, in terms of loading terrain

Big statement.

Remember that the game is currently more than four years old, and won't take any sort of advantage of the newer features in newer cards, simply because those features weren't around at the time. Additionally, loading of terrain has nothing to do with your graphics card. Do you have any idea how much RAM Nogova eats up at 5000m viewdistance and Very High detail?

Features on the graphics card have little to do with the FPS i should be getting in the game. It's mostly factored on the GPU's strength. I never said loading the terrain had anything to do with my graphics card, never, and i was never running Nogova at 5000meters viewdistance with very high detail - i was running 1500m with Very High viewdistance.

And the fact is, that 5000 meters viewdistance should really not be *that* much of an impact on the framerate. On older systems, yes, but on newer ones no. Such games as WWII Online for example (www.wwiionline.com) let you view terrain 20+km into the distance, and it's specked with Speedtrees (wich are 2d planes at this point) and a large amount of objects.

Thanks everyone,

But really, a 6800GT is a very powerfull card boasting 16 pixel pipelines with a GPU frequency of 350mhz stock, and a memory frequency of 1 Ghz. I've even pushed this card above 6800 Ultra settings and very close to 6800 Extreme Edition settings (not sure if that was ever released).

The fact is that it was poor coding on BIS side, in terms of loading terrain, everything runs smooth when looking at a piece my computer has already loaded, but if i turn around and it starts loading a new piece of terrain, it's stuttering like crazy.

Hopefully ArmA will solve these issues..

December 12, 2005

Thank you.

I toyed with them for a while and i set my veiwdistance to something at 900 and my terrain detail at High. Before it was set to Very high and viewdistance was something around 1500.

It seems to have fixed the problem, but it's frustrating that a game from 2001 cannot be ran at full settings

Cobra,i see you have only just joined the forum!welcome. However to get flashpoint running at an acceptable frame rate without stuttering you need to do a lot of expirimenting with setup options and options at the main gui. Their is a lot of information already in this forum going back a few years.With a rig like your's you will be able to get it to run ok

Thank you for the welcome!

But the problem is not smooth fps, the problem is stuttering. I'm going up into 80+ fps without any units on Nogova. It's just the fact that sometimes i get spikes to 1fps when turning 360 degrees for the first time, so the computer can load the map.

I'm at a loss of words here, i really don't know how to explain.

Hello again,

I now have yet ANOTHER problem with Operation Flashpoint. As I said in the earlier thread, about the crashing, i've updated all my drivers except drivers for my 6800GT wich are on the 66.93 Omega drivers. I'm not getting LOTS of stuttering.

If i just put one man into a mission, it's stuttering. I turn around 360 degrees in a circle and when my computer has finally loaded it's smooth. I cannot drive a car, fly, etc however since it's starting to load new terrain and it's stuttering. I think this is the problem anyways. I've tried it on 2 diffirent HD's aswell, to no avail. I just copied the game over from C:\ to E:\ to test it, i'm guessing registry hacks aren't needed?

REally apprecaite it if someone could help me. I read a thread a while back of someone having the EXACT same problem, having to rotate 360 degrees for it to load. I have GOTY 1.93.

AMD 2800+ Barton

nVidia GeForce 6800GT (66.93 Omega)

Shuttle AN35U Mobo (nForce2 with latest drivers)

1x Maxtor 120GB drive (E:\

1x Maxtor 40GB drive (C:\

1024 (512x2) PC3200 Ram.

the 6800GT is slightly overclocked, but the rest is at stock speeds.

EDIT: BTW, I just defragged to no avail.

December 9, 2005

Using -nomap -nosplash.

That's just Y2K3 and a few other, selected addons. I had way more back in the day and it worked A-OK.

December 9, 2005

Btw, i forgot to add my system specs.

Shuttle AN35U nForce 2 mobo with onboard sound AGP,PCI.

Inno3D GeForce 6800GT with 61.93 Omega Drivers. 256MB DDR3 OC from 450/1000 to 525/1100.

1024 (512x2) PC3200 Ram.

AMD Athlon 2800+ Barton Core (running at 2,08Ghz - stock).

2x Seagate Barracudas 60GB.

2x DVD-R Players (not that it would matter?)

Case temperature is usually around 35C, CPU goes to 44C under load, GPU is at a stable 59C all the time.

December 9, 2005

I just reinstalled OFP after a long time of not using it and after installing the Y2k3 mod i've been trying to play. Problem is however, i'm getting random crashes at diffirent points in the game, doesn't matter if i make a new mission in the missioned or i start a campaign game. It's quite frustrating to say the least!

Here is a cutout from my Flashpoint .RPT file.

Thanks for any assistance in this matter!
