I'm about a week or more in to playing. I'm zipping around in an X fighter I had 5 Missiles shot 2 of them and the game froze solid. I could hear just the back ground sound. After that I had a guy firing on me and as soon as the alert went off the game froze. I came back and the guy thought it was some kind of tactic/cheat so I wouldn't lose my stuff. I tried to assure him it wasn't and that my game is freezing on any missile fire.

I'm running on a laptop with an SiS 740 chipset and the latest drivers. My processor is an AMD running at 1.3GHz.THe only known issue my chipset has are problems with Cube Mapping which I discovered a couple years back playing BF1942.

This started happening to me today. Pretty much the same thing.

To reproduce; find kb32a and start shooting missals at him. Please.

Man this is frustrating. Happens every time. Is the problem at my end? Any suggestions?

hmm..you guys playing in windowed mode or in full screen?
if your playing in full screen, try switching to windowed mode. there might be an error popping up behind the screen if your playing in full screen mode. it would cause the game to freeze until you clicked the popup, but since you can't see it, the game would pretty mcuh appear to crash.

thats a good thought... i'd be interested to hear if thats the case.
If not, i have found and fixed a potential issue on the missile graphics that - though it didnt cause any problems on my particular PC - was incorrect and may have caused issues for others.
If this still happens in 0.50.5 (or if changing to windowed mode changed anything) please bump this thread open and ill look into it further.

I just checked that and I had no error message. It is frozen now in windows is there anything I can check?
