phil180 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Some experimentation earlier this evening suggests the problem described here is reproducible on my PC (running Windows XP): - Using the 1.3.5 version of DropTeam, 'base' mod (i.e., not using a mod). - Choose Raid scenario, objective game type. I have 6 bots on my side, 7 on the other. - During the deployment phase: 1. Promote myself to commander. 2. Once promoted, select team -> hold all drops (in the map view). - Deployment phase ends... - Drop myself. - Choose one of the bots (via the map view, team menu). - Select drop, choose a vehicle, select drop once. The drop selection dialogue goes away, leaving the bot's menu open, so I click 'allow drop'... and it crashes into the Windows crash dialogue ("DropTeamMain.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close"). Am I doing something obviously dumb? Is it a known problem? Can anyone else reproduce it? Thanks, Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 First: what does the logfile say? Second: IIRC there was a problem if you had more than 12 players (including bots), but I'm not sure on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 just to rule out the obvious: your graphics card is Open GL >1.5 newest drivers are installled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil180 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi! ;1103797']just to rule out the obvious: your graphics card is Open GL >1.5 newest drivers are installled OpenGL 2.1, and the drivers appear to be up-to-date. I've since checked a second machine (with different hardware, although both have (different) ATI video cards): I can repeat the problem on that machine, too. Cheers, Phil.

__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I tried to reproduce the crash, but couldn´t. I also have an ATI card (4870 1GB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Maybe try my settings: I have these options OFF:music, bot voices, particles, foliage, color blind, shadows, hires textures, collision damage othe than that: 4x AA terrain quality 80% view distance max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
