game is crashing at start of mission 3.....am using FMsel, should i have played via darkloader ? it doesn't say anything about fm loader in notes....

Same here with FMSel.
The intro of mission 3 plays fine, but when mission itself should actually start, it always simply crashes.

EDIT: It appears that the crash appears on Hard & Expert only, but not on Normal !
Hope this helps to narrow it down a bit.

Same here using FMsel on expert.

Last log entries are:

: Loaded script module "twscript.osm"
: Loaded script module "nvscript.osm"
: Loaded script module "tnhscript.osm"
: Loaded script module "script.osm"
: Loaded script module "convict.osm"
: Loaded script module "gen.osm"

This came up during beta but no solution could be found. (Yandros has since found the cause.)

EDIT: (http://www.bogadocious.com/myfms/BB2_V2a.zip) Version 2a fixes this and other problems.

Yandros on 22/5/2014 at 02:23

I thought we had fixed that. :( Did that change get undone by me or something?

Is anyone else getting really bad lag on this level?

EDIT: D/L (http://www.bogadocious.com/BB2/miss20.zip) this and extract it into your T2 folder. You can't use any savegames. Tell me if it now works on the other difficulty levels.

guess ill have to try again on Easy :(

Didn't work for me.

I think you meant replacing the mis20.mis file. Since I'm using FMsel I replaced the mis20.mis file in the .\t2\FMs\BB2_V1\ folder where it was initially installed.

There is difference however, now the a crash.dmp file was modified if that would help.

Mission 3 will only run well with a high-end graphics card. Some beta-testers had no problems, others had continual crashes.

Why? It's pretty darn difficult to create a believable train yard within a modest-sized space. While the level is populated with quite a few solitary walls and decorative buildings to try and block scene complexity, there are still areas where you can peek and get really bad frame rates. Give me a few hours and I'll upload a "low-rent" version of this level to see if that helps.
