+Veltro2k Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Ok created a WW2 install using ERUROWW2 MOD. Workks ZGreat with 06 patch..Only problem, when i hit ESC key intead of taking me back to debriefing, it exits the game??? how can I fix this Quote
+allenjb42 Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Have you checked the key maps in the game options? Maybe you inadvertantly set esc for exit the whole game instead of just to exit the mission? Quote
Wrench Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Ed, what operating system are you running? XP? Vista? Winge7??? If you're using the small upgrade I did for EAW WW2, the shaders are activated (for XP). If you're still running on the 06 patch level, in Vista/7 you'll have to deactive them in the EuroWW2_data.ini Just comment them out... [NormalTextureMaterial] UseEffectShader=TRUE //EffectShaderName=TerrainEffect.fx [WaterTextureMaterial] UseEffectShader=TRUE //EffectShaderName=WaterEffect.fx Hopefully, that'll fix the issue (it's the old problem from 'wwwaaay back) wrench kevin stein Quote

Wrench Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Ok then.... I'll have to fire mine up on the new machine (all ww2 versions intalled but not run yet) and see if the problem presents itself wrench kevin stein Quote
Wrench Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 ....and, yes it does. ESC, BLAMMMMMO!!!! straight to the desktop with no error messages at all. Even with the shaders commented out, DX9 installed. Tested ALL the terrains, in ALL my WW2 installs (ETO/MTO/PTO) This being a family site, I cannot type the words going through my mind. In short, it looks like the 06 patch level is the problem; of course, everyone knows that patching to 08 f***s the FMs six ways from sunday... I'll have to get into this a bit further down the road, as I'm 7 weeks behind on the KAW terrain. what about running compatability mode for XP on the WoE.exe??? Anyone tried that?? wrench kevin stein Quote

Gunrunner Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Can you find any trace of a problem in the logs/journals ? Is Aero running while you play ? If it does, disable Aero at game start (either manually or by changing the properties of the exe), it might be a crash when the game switches from one video mode to another, however it should give an error message, but I've had a similar silent crash with another game, it's worth a try.

Wrench Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 In theroy, with DX9 installd, the 06 patch levels games should still work!!! But they obviously don't (i'm on Win7 Ultimate) Please post your findings Ed, otherwise ... it's moving to 08 level, which we all know what happens next... wrench kevin stein Quote

Wrench Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 well, shooot.... I got 06s to NOT crash by changing this line: UseEffectShader=TRUE to this: UseEffectShader=FALSE of course, you loose the moving water and other land effects, but the missions/game wont' plop to the desktop. Makes the ocean look like flat blue s**t, but it don't crash no more wrench kevin stein Quote
Fubar512 Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 thats the only option left...im already patched..maneuvering..forget about it....... :nea: Ed, if you're willing to try it, I have a "'06-style maneuvering" fix for an '08 patched sim. You'll be the first to supply feedback on it. Quote

I kind of had my suspicions, that as a solution to the '08 patch FM issue, it was a bit too easy to be real... Quote
