WOE CTD Oct2008b 60%

[keith 0]

Guys, i've searched for an answer on the forums but the search facility won't allow 3 letter terms - so I can't search for 'ctd' and '60%'...

 

Anyways. XP SP3 Macbook Pro 2.66 4gb, Nvidia 9600m GT. Totally clean formatted disk.

 

Load up WOE 080306 from dvd - fine.

 

Patch to Oct2008b - ctd at 60% on all plane loading screens.

 

No debug info, no direct x message.

 

All was fine under Windows 7, but I have to use XP as Lotus Domino won't run on Vista - d'oh!

 

Any ideas fellas?

 

Actually - it just got to 80% before cr*pping out...

Well, you want to do all of the following things: 1.) use a MacBook Pro, 2.) run Windows XP, 3.) run Lotus Domino, and 4.) run the fully patched version of WoE besides.

 

It doesn't appear that you can do all of those things so you'll have to give up something.

 

If it were me, I'd roll back to the 08.03.06 version of WoE.

Thats an interesting Mix - asuming no mods - have you updated Direct X?

MigBuster - no, no mods. I just downloaded the March 2009 DX9 but no joy. Strange, cause WoV works perfectly with the new patch, but I really want to fly the ODS!

 

Guess Domino'll have to go...

 

Priorities, after all.
