FF6 graphic card (who knows?) issue when in MP

[JagHond]

Hi all. I'm here with my alternative nick, because as seems my official one (Jackal) is kept here yet.

Also given that the old FreeFalcon forum has suddenly closed, would someone kindly help me with this issue? When I'm in FF6, ITO2 theater last released version opened, and most of all when I'm in MP, the sim crashes after a few minutes of flight - it freezes and I'm obliged to close the sim with the hard manners using the manager (pressing the keys CTRL+ALT+CANC and closing the program not responding any longer).

To me, it's not a MP issue, or not only related to MP, but more anyway it's somehow related to the graphic side - I use Win7 Ultimate on a system equipped with a nVidia GTX660Ti graphic card, 32 Gb of RAM and an Intel I7-3820 @3.60GHz.

Here is as follows the last crash log:

"FFViper.exe caused a EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in module FFViper.exe at 0023:0065D42C, ObjectiveClass::GetRadarType()+60 byte(s), g:\cobradev\ffviper\campaign\camplib\objectiv.cpp, line 1569+25 byte(s)

Hi Jackal. Can you please File this Error in the Forum in the Supportsection? We will try to help you there. Here its unfortently offtopic, because the FFViper.exe you have is not the same we talking about here. Just goto http://freefalcon.tk/forum/3602302/ and File you Bugreport in the Forum. All the best Peter

@PeterMeyer: It's okay, I sent him here. This was an issue with FF previously and will likely also be a problem once we get this one working. We'll take a look into this particular crash as soon as it's actually possible to.

Also, if anything on the boards it'd be the FreeFalconOSC section, the Training & Support section is for help actually flying the sim, not bug reports. :wink:

Ok. Looks for me thadt ObjectiveClass::GetRadarType() raised an General Protectionfault. A Pointer is pointed to an false Adress after changing Radar Settings in the MFD while the TE Campaign s running.On read of Memory Offset 00000067 the GP fault occured.The Exception is throwed to the Simloop.The Kernel terminates the Process and quits FFViper.exe (Not responding Message). Jackals FFViper.exe is 2.3.3.44 wich the same as in the Installer for FreeFalcon 6.0, Our FFViper.exe Version we working on here is: 2.3.1.9 (FreeFalcon 5.0.x).

Conclusion: We do not have the Source. Its not clear thadt our Sourcecode traps into this type of Error.We cannot solve it from the perspective of the Code.Its an Software Error in FFViper.exe and has nothing todo with the OS,Hardware or Drivers.

Solution: Wait for General avaiability of FreeFalconOSC 7.0 and use the included FFViper.exe.
