its not only a seperate partition OFF is installed on, its a seperate harddrive which hasnt had OFF installed on it before so im certain there cant be any files left over.

guys, ive never had OFF or CFS3 installed on this partition so there defo isnt any old files + my OS is set to uk. i dug through this forum and found a thread on page 15 or so from a guy who has a similar spec to myself, he listed the way his game is set up which ive copied. ive since flew a mission which thankfully didnt crash so heres hopin ive finally nailed this problem.

alright just found another error although im not sure if its related to my crash issues. just tried to enlist a fighter pilot in jasta 1, 8th May 1917. got the following OFF Manager message. the mission then had me in an EIII which was the wrong plane.

nah my memory upgrade was weeks ago. its not ctds, i get a message appear that the program has stopped responding and i have to close it with task manager. i dont run in admin or xp mode, i just load the game up normally. i have some games where i need to load in compatibility mode mode to get them runnin but not this one. should i be loadin it with admin and compat mode?

ok where to start. heres the log from the latest crash, cant seem to attach the other xml file though to this post though, you reckon that file could show more clues to why this is happening? im runnin windows 7 64 bit on a new partition so theres no way its detectin a previous install cos there hasnt been one till now. defo not hardware related, only had this ram for a few weeks and no other games are crashing. i did suspect it could be win 7 but then i read one of the devs for OFF sayin hes been runnin win 7 64 bit for months with no probs. can anyone confirm if the overall slider (or any of them) affect the AI?

hehe yeah sorry bout that, i was just really pissed off after it crashing again. im playin with dead is dead rules for immersion and have invested a fair bit of time in these 2 missions that have crashed. my main reservations bout turnin down the settings are firstly, the 5 setting for clouds is needed so that the AI cant see through clouds and secondly, ive read that reducing the settings also reduces the AI. id be more likely to believe the settings are to high if i was havin low fps issues but as i said the frame rates were locked at 35 and they were solid, even at the missions start at the airfield. in that log i posted there are a fair few errors regardin skin etc which look a ittle suspect. i dont see anyone else havin such problems however which makes it more strange. and yes, i done a full reinstall.

lol you make it sound as though i have a poor system or maybe i misunderstood you? no probs with other games, maybe armed assault 2 but thats about it. i dont buy into it bein a performance issue, performance was really smooth, solid 35 fps whole mission up until the crash + i wasnt havin these crashes before this expansion.

alright this is gettin a bit annoyin, just spent another 45 mins on a mission, fps was set at 35 and performance was perfect. i decide to warp for the final flight home and another crash, error message "program not responding". had to alt tan out and quit. my settings are, 5,4,3,3,4,5 there were no peformance issues up until the crash. bit gutted i just wasted another 45 mins flight time to be honest. core 2 duo 6750 oc'd to 3400ghz 4gb ram (1066mhz) geeforce gtx 260 896mb win7 64bit

i did try hi res but to be honest i never noticed any difference, certainly nothing that made me wanna leave it on high res. back to the normal setting for me.

i only found out about that file cause the ctd error message pointed me to it. il try lowering the graphic settings and startin a new campaign, hopefully it was a one off

it was more for the attention of the devs, im sure they will have a better idea of what the errors in the log mean than us. i did notice a few errors about skins/planes not being loaded, could that be the cause?

hi, ive just had a ctd during a mission. any chance you guys could have a look at the log file to see a likely cause? cheers

hi, im tryin to use as many of the dead is dead settings as possible but the most difficult one to decide on is labels. even on a wide screen 24 inch lcd monitor im findin it really hard to even spot specks in the distance, never mind id them. i figure that it would be easier to spot them in real life as opposed to tryin to find a tiny pixel on a monitor screen. how are you guys usin this feature?

is it only the bullet holes that arent visible on high res, do planes still break up, go on fire etc?

hi, havent fired up OFF in while but after sein this expansion thats been released i jumped in and bought it. 1. i see that the high res graphic options still says that no damage will be displayed. im just curious to know how many people play with the high res option and do they not miss the visible damage to planes? 2. is there any way to lock the frame rates? ive only tried a few quick missions but my fps fluctuates between 30 and 80 which is a little annoying, im sure i remember someone on these forums sayin there was a little program that done exactly that. cheers

must OFF be fully patched up 1st before installing this expansion or does it include all previous patches for OFF?

how would i go about capping frame rates?

this done the trick. thanks!

OFF has started to crash whenever i try to change key setttings. i start a missions, press escape to open up the options menu, click keys, then when i assign i key and click ok it doesnt respond! i end up having to alt tab out of the game to close it down. anyone know what could be causing this? i have the latest patch installed.

yep it workin fine now, cheers erik!

forgive me askin but what did u type to get the search thingy workin, does anything else have to be selected? in most forums u just type a word in search, tick search titles only and u get results but that isnt workin for me here.

is it just me or is the forum search funtion not working?

stirlings my home town, im sure the lad will do very well!

nah i wont be installin 4x1 sticks of ram. ive ordered 2 sticks of 2gb ddr3 (1333mhz) ram, il be interested to see if theres much improvement over my current 2 1gb sticks of ddr2 (667mhz) ram. "If you are planning on populating all four memory slots with 1Mb sticks, you are asking for problems. You will be forced to reduce your FSB speed to maintain stability. No amount of additional voltage to the memory will help, as the instability will be due to memory controller limitations. Doesn't matter which motherboard you're using." will this still apply to me?

good info there tamper but ponder this for a minute. windows task manager right now is tellin me now (no games loaded) in the physical memory column that i have just over 2gb or ram. system cache is usin 450mb (mem to run windows?) and i have 1.4gb available. when i run OFF peak mem usage for it is around 400mb. that pretty much means that i have 1gb left unused. im just surprised that most games only use between 400 and 1gb of ram to run, according to task manager anyways. when i see people writin on forums that such and such a game is usin 2, 3 or 4gb of ram i always wonder how they know this? ive went ahead and bought 4gb of ram anyways so il see what kinda performace boost i get but im not holdin out much hope of seein it bein used.
