Maj.Hans Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I just got my dongle in the mail yesterday, and I've been playing around with the various vehicles and making up some missions. However, when I try to load some maps, for example one of the Fulda Gap maps...I get this weird error. I can't move the map view, and any attempt to view the terrain causes an instant crash to desktop. Anybody know what's going on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 probably lack of ram... they are very large when un-compressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 12, 2012 Members Share Posted August 12, 2012 There may be an error message lurking in the background (which can't take application focus as usual while you are in fullscreen mode). Try it in windowed mode (Alt+W), and see if something comes up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj.Hans Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 I tried alt-tabbing out a few times, but I didn't notice any error messages. I noticed that if you're missing a height map it puts an error box in the background, but didn't find anything like that.It could be a RAM issue, I've got 3 Gb installed, but I guess some maps might just be too much. Does the program need to uncompress and load the entire map before loading the selected area into the mission editor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 14, 2012 Members Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't Alt+Tab, use windowed mode.Does it happen with specific maps, or generally?Does it happen after a fresh Windows restart? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maj.Hans Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 It happens only with certain maps, so far the two I've noticed it with are the two Fulda Gap maps in the download section.I don't see anything pop up in windowed mode either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
