+SidDogg Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Hello, All. So I was just playing SF2 and..... I chose a recon mission over Anatolia terrain and during the load portion... ...I get a CTD at the 80% mark. Also at the 100% mark... All my other terrains work..... What could it be that is stopping it? SidDogg
+Wrench Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 was there are error message associated, or just "SF2 has stopped working" kinda thing?
+PureBlue Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) It's a resource hungry terrain you know.. It's more likely to CTD if you have a big modded install. Actually just the other day, to get over this CTD, I tried one of those 4GB exe patches they make for other games. I'm not sure if SF2 benefits from this, but it seemed to help. This is the utility: Large Address Aware. http://www.techpower...ad.php?t=112556 Edited December 11, 2011 by PureBlue

+Soulfreak Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Try a seperate Anatolia install. worked for me.
+Stary Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 also tuning the terrain objects detail to lower values might help, these don't reduce number of ground objects/structures, but the amount of TODs and horizont distance from very far to far makes BIG difference in resources too,worth trying Sid
+Soulfreak Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Well i think a lot can be done when the textures for the objects will be converted from bmp to jpg or dds. There are tons of textures in that terrain...
+PureBlue Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 The version 2 terrain has JPG tiles, I didn't want to mess with all the included objects. Plus I don't think it's the textures busting the graphics memory, it's the amount of terrain target objects/groundobjects, which use the main memory IMHO. Like I mention in the README, first starting a Single Mission using a different terrain, then loading a mission w/ Anatolia, solves all CTD problems for me. Everytime. I guess it's hardware/mod dependent..
+SidDogg Posted December 15, 2011 Author Posted December 15, 2011 SO! I uninstalled, then reinstalled SF2, with a slightly diffenent folder address... Works perfect YAAAY! Thank You Everyone! SidDogg
+Stary Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 staying on topic, I noticed in my case that resources-heavy modded terrains (los of targets areas, hi res tileset, dense TOD population) generally tend to CTD more often with recent patches
+PureBlue Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I should have posted this before, it might help people having CTD w/ Anatolian Terrain: I'm using higher setings in my FLIGHTENGINE.INI, and almost never get CTD using the tip I give in the README. (Which is start a single mission in any other stock terrain, quit and load the next mission using Anatolia) Edits for Flightengine.ini [GraphicsSettings] ZBufferDepth=24 MaxVertexCount=16384 MaxIndexCount=32768 MaxTextureCount=16384 MaxModelType=4096 MaxMeshPerScene=4096 MaxModelPerScene=2048 MaxLightPerScene=512 AspectRatio=1.333333 MinPixelSize=0.0
