sitting_duck 3 Posted June 16, 2009 I did a google on that error message, and it brought up a recent post by Ras, who has been haveing WORSE problems than you in gettting into mp. thread is here if you want to look http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry299600 in addition to the error message, he also seemd to get the flickering you described, but cant be sure its the exact same thing, Have pm'd him, as i am interested in seeing if he is getting the blue meter screen also. Not sure if all this info is going to help us, or set us back... realise you are able to get into mp, which is good, but gut feeling is we still have to try and reslove all these error messages you are getting, or its going to catch up with you eventually. also,,if you get the chance,,,see if you can play bhah with your cd,,,, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I did a google on that error message, and it brought up a recent post by Ras, who has been haveing WORSE problems than you in gettting into mp.also,,if you get the chance,,,see if you can play bhah with your cd,,,, I did a little Photoshop work, and here's what the Flickering Screen looked like. [the gray block represents the pilots looking over their shoulders at you.] I was in the process of backing out of the "Join Game' level screen. I got back the the field [with the two medals] clicked the 'Hangar' drop-down menu, clicked Officers Mess and as it came up, I immediately clicked "Yes' to leave. That's when it locked up. Suddenly I had the two medals back as multiple ghost images. This was the only part of the screen that flickers. 'Trembled' might be a better description. I still had the Officers Mess image and the 'Hangar' tab in the top right and a solid black background. At the time it seemed to be a normal sort of response to my hastily clicking on options as they appeared and figured that I was running ahead of OFF's ability to process 1's and 0's. Can I play BH&H with my CD? Which CD? CFS3, or OFF? I can launch BH&H with the CFS3 CD in, or not in. I cannot launch from the OFF CD at all. It just wants to re-install OFF.

sitting_duck 3 Posted June 16, 2009 well...considering the manner in which you installed bhah,,,,it should need to have the cfs3 cd in the drive, for it to run....forget if its disk one or disk two. I wanted you to try with your cd, just so you wont have to hassle copying my cd. and,,i have been kinda of blowing off your description of a plane crashing into the ground when you start your game. I have all my intro videos and such turned off, so i dont get to see any of that. I will make it a point to enable everything, so I see exactly what you see, (minus the error messages i hope....). I'm not so sure you should see planes crashing,,,when you start off3 Suppose to get on with ras tongith around 7. He's got pretty much the same problems as you ...sans the blue meter...

Ras 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Here's that nessage, Duck. As Duck mentioned, I get the same error message. Had it ever since my "1st" re install which was done so I could see if that would help my MP as I had never been able to get on line. THen I did another complete uninstall and went thru and deleted all files according to different instructions. I am thnking I have missed a "hidden" files but thought I had done it by the book as in according to the FAQ. I had a chance to fly a couple of missions in campaign mode this morning and I still get the message. Plus I cannot find the aircraft (fighter used by Brits) I think it is the F2B ?? It is the one with the gunner behind the pilot, not the earlier F2Eb is it? Was wondering if you have all your planes? I have to be gone most of the afternoon so if you have anything we can compare, I 'll check back with you later. Ras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted June 16, 2009 ok...went and enables all my intro videos and such,,,and when getting into multiplayer from the off manager, after i select a mission, i get this screen. But there is no animation of any kind,,,the plane just sits there with the engine stopped. Are you saying (and i belive ras is saying the same thing) when you get to this screen, whatever plane u see tries to take off? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) ok...went and enables all my intro videos and such,,,and when getting into multiplayer from the off manager, after i select a mission, i get this screen. But there is no animation of any kind,,,the plane just sits there with the engine stopped. Are you saying (and i belive ras is saying the same thing) when you get to this screen, whatever plane u see tries to take off? Breathtaking screen shot, Duck. What are you running...a 54" flatscreen? That's absolutely panoramic. My arrival at field is ALL animation and no field. From the moment the screen appears, the airplane is in Tail-chase view, dives as though performing an outside loop, flies inverted for a few seconds, and then crashes into the ground with all red damage warnings. After a few seconds, the red text goes away. Then I click on Multi-Player, and proceed from there. The last of the three screens is where I was last night when it locked up and went trembly. To make this composite, I launched OFF 3 times. Each time, as I was backing out after getting the screenie, when I got to the two medal screen, the animation plays again! Then I clicked back to Main Menu. Last night, when I first mentioned this, the plane was a Nieuport in camo colors, and appeared to be out over fields and trees. Not over the field. As we tweaked, it became an SE-5 and I can see some tents at the edge of the field briefly. It seems I can launch OFF with no discs in the trays, but if I want to go Multi-Player, I have to have Disc#1 in. My disc works fine...as far as I can tell. We'll see tonight. Will I be using the same TeamSpeak address to talk to Ras? Will you be there? Edited June 16, 2009 by Hauksbee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted June 16, 2009 am getting on around 7ish to help ras,,,and yes,,we use the same teamspeak, unless it appears prudent to create a new channel like we did the other day. Im gonna throw this "screen vrs animation" think out in the general forum, as i dont have a clue which is the right one, but im leaning towards mine,,,i dont think your suppose to see anything other than the field,,,kinda like when cfs3 starts up,,and you got that guy on one knee....

I agree. I'm sure your screenie of the field is the right one. Who would code a flamming disaster like mine? See you 'round 7:00.
