remove the gameplay spikes.
zerosnark:
Hey! Thanks so much. . . I just found that in another thread.
The spikes seemed to actually bomb the whole program.....most annoying; as I couldn't bring up task manager to terminate the program.
It seemed to be working in the one game I tried... . .until I tapped the windows key. . . . more experimentation to follow.
Edit:
Yes, I definitely have it working now.
I cannot tell you guys how happy this makes me :D
Frankly, I was sort of dreading Windows10 because I was afraid it would break this game -> so when my hard drive crashed, I was most irritated.
(win 7 re-install in 2015 to a fresh drive seemed like a questionable way to go for non-SFC:OP reasons)
I was rather dismayed that I could not install from the original disk; but FORTUNATELY, I learned from someone that I could simply copy all the files from the old drive. . . put in the CD key. . .and go.
OK -> now have added the entire game folder to my "clean install archive".
Which helps. . . .I have a LARGE number of models from back in the day that I like to use :)
Thanks again!
AScout1:
I am not certain if this is Windows 10 issue or a bug. I have now had SFC: CE crash on me several times and it seems to be fairly consistent around the use of plasmas at range 0-1. I have set the .ini files as recommended and have the game in a "safe" location. This one problem, though, seems to persist. Any thoughts or recommendations?
d4v1ks:
You say that you can start the game, play without any problems, and when you fire plasma at range 0-1 the game crashes?
If you don't play with a ship with plasma everything is ok?

A) it could be Plasmas or b) it could be a result of the other ship attempting to PD the plasma.
Idk. Just throwing ideas out there, I recommend you play a non plasma race and see if it happens. Then recreate the circumstances of the first incident. Need more info.

I didn't change a single byte in the plasma point defense function. I allowed the player, via the SFC_Editor, to redirect the flow within that function, jumping to the "do nothing" decision that already exists.
Unofficial patch 2.675 is vanilla. It doesn't touch the PD function.
AScout1, what version of CE are you playing? Does it crash in a skirmish? Does it crash in the Dynaverse campaign? If you are playing a 2.670 campaign, then you may be encountering the bug that always crashes the game when you are about to destroy an Orion Pirate ship (with your point-blank Plasmas, for example) in a specific Patrol mission. 2.675 removes this bugged mission.
