game locks up :([message #78036]

I'm running SOG on a pentium 3.2 ghz, new video card, windows XP.

The system ran Jagged fine, same with UB and UC, no crashes no locking up.

Every once in a while in combat, though, with SOG (usually at the exact same point every time, ie: I'll crash, load a save, and it'll crash at the same point in the enemy's turn), it'll lock up during combat.

I've tried moving my mercs differently hoping it would upset the loop but nothing seems to work.

When it happened the first time, it was in a sector that was unimportant, but this time it's happening @ the battle of An Loc base, a pretty big deal.

I downloaded the patches, the UB patches etc.

I'm running US UB, all patched up and whatnot.

Anybody have any ideas? :whoknows:

So I did a search and it seems as if the crash is related to the enemy reloading the VC shotgun.

I think it crashes just after one shoots a shotgun so this makes sense.

Any ideas? :whoknows:

I'm having the same problem (not in SOG, but still)! Don't know yet what's actually causing it. During the development of UC I had to make the sawed-off shotgun twohanded to work around this deadlock problem, because if either hand contained a shotgun and it was fired it caused a deadlock. So if there is a onehanded shotgun that might be the problem.

I think the VC shotgun takes the place of the Sawed Off, which is (I believe) a 1-handed shotgun?

I'm sure this doesn't happen all the time. I've played SOG through at least twice and if it locked up frequently I'd have given up. Best bet, load an earlier save game and try to kill the enemy. Though if you go back a bit then they might do something different and avoid the lockup.

I assume hitting ESC and waiting doesn't work?

And there's always wedit if the two-handed thing works. Not like you ever really want to *use* the VC shotgun yourself.

I'm sure you've seen this thread
http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=32;t=000118

If it is a map fix then you might have to load a save game from before you entered the map, otherwise the new map won't actually be loaded. I think that's right.

Update: it was the VC shotgun.

Took all VC shotguns out of sectors where I got lockups, everything works fine.

Just use the editor proggy, delete shotties and replace them with something else, an ak or something.

Problems at N12. I have tried attacking from 3 sides already, but it alwasys ends in a freeze. Sometimes I am lucky and I can "end task", the other times I need to reboot. At first I thought that it seemed to occur at the point of an enemy reload, but other times it happens during an enemy movement. Very frustrating. It also happens at varrying times into the battle. Can I ignore this sector and get on with the campaign, or is this part of the game crucial. If I need it, is editing files the fix? From the begining I have loaded know patches.

thanks

Any additional feedback on the lockup problem? Did you try removing the VC shotgun from the map?
Did it make a difference? I plan on starting a SOG game myself shortly and wonder if I should remove the VC Shotgun using the map editor first.
