  1. visor - Some of the crashes may depend on the 3D Texture and 3D Model quality settings in the Options area of CMSF (Fast, Faster, etc.). With lower quality settings, the game can run longer without crashing. This is especially true on smaller scenarios (like you might find in the Demo). If you run a larger scenario, then you'll probably run into the crashes more frequently like you're seeing with the full version.

    If you don't have to have the newest driver, then the Catalyst 9.3 driver should work fine regardless of the Texture and Model quality settings. For some users however, there are other games that have had bug fixes or performance improvements with newer Catalysts and they don't want to give them up. And thus the desire for some sort of workaround to allow CMSF to run without problems, but also allow other programs to run with newer drivers.

    Unfortunately I haven't found a method to get Windows XP to dynamically load up the ATI OpenGL ICD of the Catalyst 9.3 drivers. It is working for Vista users, but not under Windows XP. I'll keep trying, but there is a possibility that I won't be able to get this workaround working under Windows XP.

    If we're all very lucky ATI may fix this issue with some newer drivers within a couple of months (Catalysts 9.9, 9.10 or later). ATI is aware of the problem and it does affect some other OpenGL games (though not all OpenGL games). So they're working on it at the moment, but we don't know which future Catalyst release will have the fix.

    thx for your answer, meanwhile I installed the catalyst driver 9.3 and the game runs with no crashes (sometimes 1 crash in 8 hours)

  2. Hi,

    I have an ATI Radeon 3850 und Windows XP SP2. If I install my old CMSF version, patch it to 1.10 (battlefront patch, cause I dl my game from battlefront) then to 1.20 i got every 4-5 minutes crashes of the game, I assume this is what you all discuss here. Right?

    If I install the actual demo version (with marine and british forces) and play a battle (not british or marines, only CMSF) I have no probs with crashes, everything works fine.

    It seems for me that it is not der ATI driver, must something to do with the old game and the patches.

    Can please someone from battlefront comment this?

    greetings

  3. Hi,

    had same problems, play the end of this scenario over and over, but then I got a great victory before time ends:

    1. you must kill every last special forces in the special forces HQ

    2. you must kill also rgb squad and hq squad in the building in front of the special forces HQ.

    3. maybe have some infantry in the special forces hq, dont know exactly, but you need it there to kill the squds in the HQ

    4. as soon as I killed all infantry in the HQ I killed the rgb team and the HQ infantry unit in the building before the special forces HQ and then the scenarion ends at once with a great victory

    destroying the special forces HQ was not needed, but you have to kill all infantry in the kaserne buidlings too, in all 3 rows!!

    hope that helps
