I don't have a slow machine the specs are: -
Athlon XP 3200
ABIT AN7 M/Board
1GB DDR PC3200 RAM 512x2 dual channel mode
BFG Geforce FX 5700 OC
160GB Serial ATA 150 for the faster games like FAR CRY and Aqua Nox
160GB IDE for slower games like Armada 2, Bridge Commander, Elite Force 2
30GB IDE purely for backup
Running Windows XP Pro
DirectX 9.0c

Those are the specs and I suspect it is not a performance deficiency but I have not been able to locate the problem. It makes no difference whether it’s a modded game or not.
Please help its rather frustrating.

I have exactly the same problem as you, and I have similar specs to you, Inc XP Pro and I think it is to do with that.

Ok heres one for you. I've added stuff to the game it all works fine in the resorses and economy tutorial but when i try to play skirmish or champagne mode it wont load it just freezes and i cant figure out where I'm going wrong!
this is a problem that has plagued me for a long time and is one of the reasons i gave up trying to make my own mods before but recently I've started trying again and the problem persists. its driving me mad not knowing how to stop this from happening lol HEEEEEEELLLPPP!!!!!!!!

I have a problem I downloaded a mod for the klingon bird of prey which was suppose to just make its wings move. I go build the ship and the game crashes, I've put the old verson odf back in and it still crashes I've removed both the odf and sod and re installed the game and it still crashes and I've ran the upgrades and the game still won't play if there somewhere esle I should look please let me know

When you installed the ship, did you modify any of the techtree files or ODF files? If so, make sure you did it correctly, if not, you will need to modify them to make the ship work.

[at3unit3]

The Techtree and The sprite were the first place I checked they all looked fine. The odf files I wasn't to sure of but I had the old version and some other mods stored up and switched out the odf none of them seem to work. I even deleted the odf and uninstalled armada 2 then reinstalled it hoping the reload would give me the stock version back. That didn't work it still crashes when ever the ship is getting ready to come out of the shipyards for both human and AI
any thoughts

[Datarock]

Then the problem probably lies within the ship ODF file. It is probably a missing quote tag. (The look like this ")

where at there are a lot and would have the reload taken care of it?

Could you re-phrase that please?

[at3unit3]

Sorry I meant to ask where in the odf file do you think the quotes are missing? and I would have thougth that the total reload would have fixed and mistake?

It could be anywhere. A quote should be at the beginning and the end of something.

Example.

This will crash the game: "hp01 "hp02"
This wont crash the game: "hp01" "hp02"

See what i mean?
