Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Steam version.
Mission "HOLD THE PASS" (Desert Rats).
I've finished deploying units, pressed "End turn" and... got this.
How can I solve this problem?

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Not seen any issue like this before. Does it happen every time you play the mission? Can you please post the contents of the error.log file immediately after a crash occurs.
Cheers

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Yep - perfect. It looks like an issue with your graphics subsystem. Do you have DX9c installed? Are your video card drivers fully up to date?

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
W8 doesn't include every component of DX9c. So installing it may well help.

Unfortunately it tells that dx9 requires windows xp or another old system...pipfromslitherine wrote:W8 doesn't include every component of DX9c. So installing it may well help.

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Please post your DxDiag info (as explained here: viewtopic.php?f=103&t=18097 ). Basically your video card is failing to initialise from the look of it.

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Was the installer you tried this one:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... aspx?id=35
?
You could also try grabbing the latest AMD drivers from their site directly, as yours are a year old.

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
I've installed the latest AMD Catalyst.
As for my videocard I can't find any drivers at all. You can see it on official site: http://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/HD79 ... _Download/
I've downloaded DX9 from the same source as Yours.
Do You think that this http://steamcommunity.com/app/12120/dis ... ?l=russian can help me?
P.S. Sorry for my English.

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Unfortunately it didn't work.
Very strange. Why does this error appear just now, after over 6 hours of playing and several missions?!

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
When does it occur during play? Or is it during startup?
Try deleting the OPTIONS.TXT file in My Documents/My Games/BBCBA to see if that helps. Or indeed try renaming the entire BBCBA folder.

It didn't help. In both cases a new BBCA folder appears.pipfromslitherine wrote:

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
Yes - it will recreate the folder. If it didn't help then you can put the original back.
My best guess would be a problem with the RAM either in main memory or on the video card, which that mission is just happening to hit in the right (wrong!) way to cause a crash. Perhaps try running in a window to see if the change in settings can get you past the crash.

Also - are you running with DEBUGMODE 1 on, or have you modded the game data at all?

As for the window mode, it doesn't work. I remove "Fullscreen" in launcher, but game starts in fullscreen...

Re: Mission "HOLD THE PASS" - error
By default the windowed mode is the full size of the screen and so would look the same.
Can you try removing the game entirely and reinstalling?
Cheers
