FL crash -> Wormhole bug?

Post by Drayn »

Idk if its reported elswere, if so, sorry ;)

K now i was flying my Anubis MK2 fully equiped from Sparta -> alex but trough the wormhole. That all went well. I looked around where i ended up (near that abandoned nomad hive) And decided to go back. Now like in the middle of the jump (after you got that white flash, when i "officialy" entered Sparta) my FL just crashed to the desktop.
After i restarted FL and tried to reconnect to the server it said my account was still in use...

Im running Windows XP with a 100% fresh copy of FLMM(1.3) and FL.  I dunno if its a client or a serverside bug, but i tought i should report it.

tried again since? probably just a hiccup that happens like, once. is your freelancer a fresh install? files generally get corrupt over time, especially modded ones, if you havent reinstalled lately try that, and lastly, do you have the latest sound drivers? is your 3D sound turned off on your game? often Jump hole/gate crashes are caused by 3D sound being on and the drivers not being able to handle it.

It's a bug i think, because it happend to me as wel.
I got from Alex ---> Sparta It lookt weird and than it crash'd. Not a big problem accept i lost all my torps, rockets, nano's, batteries, counter massures, cruise disrupters and mines. It cost me almost 3 mill.  

Cya in space, Inf.

I am not sure, but problem can be 3D sound.
Try to switch off your 3D sound in options. It should help.

I had nearly same problem, but in my case FL didn't crash just to desktop..after that white flash my PC got nasty restart.

this is a known issue and it's caused by the jump hole in question using the hypergate animation (vertical instead of horizontal). It's intermittent and there doesn't appear to be any other factors (although 3d sound definitely makes it more frequent)

If you lost all your ammo etc etc this was because the anti cheat read your apparent disconnection mid jump as a hyperjump attempt and killed you.

The problme is solveable by not using it if you have problems.

When this was reported first time, I went thru the hole countless times and never crashed. when it was reported by someone else 12 mths ago, I did the same thing, over and over back and forth - no crash.

The only time i saw it for myself (someone crashing), was from the alex to sparta side, they cruised to the hole and pressed f3 to dock whilst in cruise. When I tried this i didnt have any problem, although they crashed.

I dont know if this is something that might help - not crusing to the hole and counting down the distance to zero then F3.

Ive already removed other parts of this jumphole (bright light) because people complained that the fps became real slow when dealing with it...if this crash thing is a common issue i will change it
