F.A.D.E. encountered at last?
 

I've hit a bit of a brick wall in Operation Flashpoint.....


Whenever I complete mission 15 "Spearhead" (the tank mission in the valley) the game just crashes back to the main title screen!!! Instead of jumping to the appropriate cut-scene.
I'd completed the mission several times hoping that it was a 'one off' glitch, BUT it kept happening.
I was using the NO-CD .exe
Is it possible that the game #####s for the CD during cut-scenes (for speech or what have you) etc and crashes if it's not detected??


Thankfully it was just a matter of re-installing the original .exe and using the original CD that allowed me to continue with the game......which is getting rather good at this stage :)

just out of curiosity- did u try to replace original .exe and try using backup? instead of original game, if so did it still crash to desktop?
Brad.

Flashpoint is crazy buggy :D
but try to copy your speech and movies files into your install directory or run it one time with a copy and a orginal cd...

Negative :-P
Neither the speech nor the cut scenes are loaded from cd. The whole game runs from the HDD. U only need the CD for ####ting the game AFAIK.
