60% loading crash

[Echo-Zero]

Hi,

Im having troubles loading my map.
it crashes at about 60%..

Does anyone know what this can mean?
or fix.

Re: 60% loading crash

Yes, first run it in windowed mode. This can be done by copying the play bf2 shortcut icon. Then right click on the copy and go to properties. Under target, change "fullscreen +1" to "fullscreen +0". The window may be too big, but to fix that just lower your resolution in options>video.

Now that you are in windowed mode, load the map again. When it crashes an error message should pop up. 60% usually means that you are missing a texture, so if that is what it says, write down the texture and close the message. Then extract that texture from another bf2 map and put it in the same folder in your map. You may be missing more than one texture so run it again in windowed mode to see if it crashes again.

hope that helps.

You should be able to copy the correct one from the /editor folder in the actual map you are working on.

You can also simply pack your map using the option in the editor, delete everything except the client and server zips and the info folder, and that will work. (backup first).

Once you finished testing, unzip the client and server zips, and delete them, you'll have the map back to normal.

If you don't know what the file is (like the guy above me), you can copy the "COLORMAPS", "DETAILMAPS" and "LOWDETAILMAPS" from the editor folder to the main folder, that's what I was doing before I started packing the map instead.

Re: 60% loading crash

Pack it.

It should work once packed (and you delete the rest of the files in that folder), just make a full backup of the entire map folder first.

Re: 60% loading crash

For crashing at the 60% or so mark turn off your surrounding terrain - right side in terrain editor - there are 9 boxes right click on all that are colored blue and remove patch all but the center one - should work let me know.

Re: 60% loading crash

You can but it all needs to be textured or perhaps underwater

Re: 60% loading crash

I have done what you have said and it goes past the 60%, but when i press "Join game" the game shuts down to the desktop. Any troubleshooters?

Re: 60% loading crash

Try changing your graphics settings to overall medium or low and make sure you are creating local server and not trying to play single player.

When you say that, do you mean the graphic card's settings or the map's?


*edit*

Mine crashing at 16% while loading objects. Could it be that something is touching when it shouldn't? Seems that it's too broad an error to pinpoint. Guess I'll keep going and see where I get....

Re: 60% loading crash

set your textures filter textures and terrain to medium in video settings
