Campaign Won't Load ...

[Lt. James Cater]

This is bugging me to the point that i've got to ask.

 

At first it was an uncommon occurence but now it's fully down. For the last few weeks things have been working nicely but in the last 4 days or so i've been getting failures and now i can't fly at all. As bad as things have gotten the game refuses to go to the Main screen unless i use the CD and even then i can't load any campaign. When i do that i get a quarter size black screen( i can see the backgrund on my monitor) and then get the usual M$ have to shut down notice.

 

Anyone knows what the problem is and what can be done about it?

 

If worse gets to worst i'l tranfser the WOE files to my external HD and do a fresh intall.

In the early days campaigns would not continue after a certain point.

 

You'd load, and they'd crash.

 

Since the, oh, I dunno, 3rd SF patch they have been working.

 

You are patched up, yeah?

[Lt. James Cater]

I'm patched but not up to the WOE OCT08 one.

 

Could that be the reason?

[+Spectre_USA]

It was common, even after WoV came out.

 

It took quite a few patches before you could actually get all the way through a campaign, so I'd say yes, it is probably why.

 

The early days for us, seemingly few, campaigners was extremely frustrating...

[Lt. James Cater]

Thanks for the info Spectre.

 

I'll look into the OCT 08 patch and see if i can keep the campaign going. I've been through too much to lose it all now.

Hey all,

 

I finally got my main comp back working after it being down since September. Since the old Dell really didn't have much in the way of gusto i didn't bother with a ton of downloads and patches. Just WOE, NF1 and 2, and the SEPT2006 patch.

 

So i was wondering if i could do this...Install WOE, Sep2008 update, patchOCT2008, and NF1and 2. If i then transfer campaign and pilot info from my current WOE to the new one, will i be able to keep going? Or will i have to start over?
