My System: Thinkpad T23 1,3 Ghz/Win2k/DirectX 9.03c/16MB Graphics Card PE (in order of Installation): PE SE German Patch 1.2 Ostpak Complete 2008 PE3 Scenarios2009 Scenarios2010 Game crashes in Campaign or Single Mission Modus when I try to start a Mission, returns back to Debriefing as if I had actually accomplished mission....no matter what 3D-Config I choose, I can´t play... Tried without PE3/Scenarios files (09/10) and game worked, though it kept crashing randomly when i tried to switch to Gunsight (no matter if I use Optics Patch). Using Compatibility Mode didn´t help either. BTW: What´s wrong???????????

If you can run PE SE 1.2 and Ostpak Complete without PE3, then that is your problem. What causes this problem and how to get around it, I don't know.

When you play billiards at the pub, you must also play the quirks of the table. When you play PE, you must also play the quirks of the engine, BUT game crashing is unexceptable.

Is this graphics card capable of running PEX? The memory seems kind of low. For woolfman, go into the 3D control center chose "Graphics Settings" "advanced", then "Texture detail". Click user defined and set it to low Also set "view range" to "user defined" and "low". Then play and see what happens. If that works, you can try increasing settings, but your graphics memory may limit how much resolution you can have under PEX. Even under PE 1.2 only, your graphics card may be somewhat limited. Read the Wings documentation included on the CD to find the section that discusses graphics cards.

I have made arrangements to borrow one at the end of November, so there may be some hope in the future. If there is not enough graphics card memory, system memory is used. PE needs 64 megs of free system ram and had no error reporting if it can not find it. With version 16.9 of PEX, 96 megs of free system ram is needed and an entry is added to the desertfoxlog if enough can not be found. I wonder what his error log says. Too bad the error log erases most of the information when you click OK to terminate the application. You have to alt-tab and look on your HDD before clicking the OK. People who are reporting crashes should be checking there PMs. When you play billiards at the pub, you must also play the quirks of the table. When you play PE, you must also play the quirks of the engine, BUT game crashing is unexceptable.

Originally I had planned to use the old Ostpak that came with SE, but unfortunately I can´t find the missions to download fromt the web...that´s why I was sad about it. I liked the detailed graphics, the long campaign and the hard missions (some are even too hard for my taste...). Greets, Wolf

If his bandwidth is a problem, I could download them for him or with his permission I could put them on Chollies site (if I can remember my password). I guess that the old versions are still up if you look at the 2008 topic Last Edited By: MajorD 10/20/09 23:00:25. Edited 1 times.

Check the post http://pedg.yuku.com/topic/1247 When you play billiards at the pub, you must also play the quirks of the table.

You can also use the three seamless terrain zips which install directly into your main PE scenario folder without requiring the Mod enabler step. However it is a permanent mod. (Better back up your PE/Scenario/Scapes folder contents if you want to revert to the original 1999 landscapes.) The links are in the Ostpak forum section. http://pedg.yuku.com/topic/1247

Yes I'm still around I try!
