Kat Johnston Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 There's a mission (eighth or ninth I think) in the vanilla CMSF campaign which requires you to clear out a series of buildings and a small village. I don't have any problems loading this mission, or saving within it, but every time I complete the mission the game hangs and will not load the next mission. I first encountered the problem with 1.08, and had hoped that the 1.10 patch might sort it, but no luck. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both CMSF and the Marines module. Any suggestions on what might be going wrong? I'd really like to be able to finish the campaign some time! System stuff if it helps: I'm running Vista (64bit) HP with SP1, Intel Q9450, 8Gb, GeForce 9800GTX. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Try a reinstall perhaps (keep your save of course! )? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibone Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Where does it crash? If it's on the loading bar then it might be worth leaving it running for a while longer. I've often thought my game has crashed here as it sometimes takes an age to load. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kat Johnston Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 np Normal Dude! Where does it crash? If it's on the loading bar then it might be worth leaving it running for a while longer. I've often thought my game has crashed here as it sometimes takes an age to load. It is at the loading bar, yes - it gets to 2% and then sticks there (I tried leaving it for half an hour or so just in case ). The music doesn't play, and if I alt-tab into Windows I see a message saying that the application has crashed. The event log says "Faulting application CM Shock Force.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x48c66b38, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0xffffffff, process id 0xd60, application start time 0x01c92be27efdecd9." 0xc0000005 seems to indicate a memory access problem, but I would have thought that if the problem was a memory access error of some kind then it would occur more randomly, but the game works fine apart from that one mission. I'm confident there's no hardware problem with the memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Another suggestion if you haven't tried it and nothing else works - try re-downloading the game from Battlefront and reinstalling. I've had to do this with several games, I am assuming because something in the install file got corrupted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using a paradox retail release with battlefront downloaded marines module, no mods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piecekeeper Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Got a antivirus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banned Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Got a antivirus? not the Solution, deactivated it and still have the error, also no virus infections if you mean that, redownloading the client also not worked. the only solution i found out moments ago is to declare a surrender and get a total defeat. After that it succesfully load and proceed with mission 12: dagger fight. cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banned Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ok same crash after Mission 12. Had to declare surrender and suffer total defeat with the conclusion that the campaign ends with a tactical victory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And reinstalled it and it was fixed. worth a try unlincensing, deinstalling, clean reg with a reg cleaner, is there still data somewhere around which not gets deleted after deinstall ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Johnston Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thank you! I never thought to just surrender - fortunately I had the game saved immediately prior to the end of the mission (having pretty much killed off all the defenders) so even "surrendering" wasn't too bitter a pill to swallow, and now I can play the rest of the campaign. Thanks everyone. (I don't feel keen on trawling through the Vista registry right this moment I'd probably break something) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am having the same problem at the end of the Milk Run mission in the Marines campaign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I let it run and the next mission loaded after about 10 minutes. It skipped over the mission briefing and went right to the setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
