Crash in level 8 and 9 of MOTS while using inject.exe #13

Closed putridpete closed 5 years ago

putridpete commented 5 years ago

So, near the end of level 8 and 9 in Mysteries of the Sith, there is a crash that happens every time while running the game through inject.exe. I'm not sure if it happens in other levels, beyond those two, since I cant progress further in the game right now without disabling jkgfxmod altogether now.

I was able to finish level 8 by running the game without it, and was able to re-enable it at the start of level 9, but again, it crashed near the end as well, around the part where there's a walkway that explodes and falls down.

Other than the MOTS unnoficial patch, I'm also using this mod: https://www.moddb.com/games/star-wars-jedi-knight-mysteries-of-the-sith/downloads/motsgfx2019. I will also raise the issue with the mod's author just in case.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I tried re-downloading the game from GOG and setting up everything from scratch and it ended up working just fine. I started wondering why. Then I remembered: I had patched the executable for MOTS to apply a FOV fix, as well as mipmapping. So, I backed up the original exe file and patched a copy; tried running it again and it crashed. So that seems to be the cause of the issue. Now that I've identified it, I feel like I can close the issue.

For future reference, the patches I applied were these ones: https://shinyquagsire23.github.io/dk2-mots/.
