This just in:

Problem solved! Updating fs2 executable from 5042->5063 resulted in successful mission load!

Everyone, please remember to update your exes to the latest version if you are planning to play Derelict SCP.

Was there ever a patch for that stupid error in Rite of Passage where the governor's shuttle constantly crashes into the docking ring?

Yes, check post #542

The game just crashed on me during the Mission Acceptable Losses.  I'm running the latest nightly build for Windows which is February 3.  Was this just a freak crash or something else?  I don't recall this happening to me last time I went through the Derelict Campaign.

What happened when the game crashed? During the mission, I mean?

[Renegade Paladin]

   This is so not fair; I had the destroyer in the mission Descent dead to rights.  Totally disarmed, disabled, all subsystems destroyed, down to 10% hull integrity... and it won't go any lower.  The Maxim cannon is a wonderful thing.

The game suddenly locked up.  I was fending off bombers from the civilian craft in the mission.  Then it exited and gave me the standard windows screen that says your application has crashed.  It listed the main exe file as the file that caused it.  I'm guessing it was just a freak crash but I was just curious.

If it was the standard crash window "blah-blah-blah has stopped working..."  then it was just a freak crash.  Still, you might want to make sure your pc can handle the graphics settings, just to be safe.

I experienced random crashes when playing Derelict. No need to worry about them. However, if the game crashes persistently at the same point, one should try to play it with a debug build and then post the fs2_open.log file, that might shed some light on the matter.

In the mission where the governer has to dock with Luxor station his craft just rams into the docking ring untill he explodes. Any ideas how to fix it? It doesn't seem to be setting a waypoint.

Read the previous posts on this subject.  Including two posts on this very page.

Well, my blindness is appalling.

The kamikaze wings Divine and Wind...very clever.
Look up definitions much?

I don't recommend playing this campaign with Fast Mod tables, it's still fun as hell but you'll be doing an awful lot of "~ + I" to your escort list a lot.

Yes I just now managed to have the chance to play Derelict without constant bugs, crashing, or giving up on certain missions.



I'd really like to know who or what the **** keeps killing Gold wing ships when THERE'S NO ENEMIES LEFT.
So their hull suddenly drops to 1% once disabled...lovely, probably means the AI's playing bloody bumper cars with them...

It's a code feature.  Srsly.   The only reason they aren't destroyed is because they have ship-guardian.

I restarted that mission over ten times because they'd randomly pop when they were disabled.

Well apparently it wasn't a random crash.  I finally had some time to play through and mission and it crashed in mission.  Same mission as last time which was Acceptable Losses.  I ran the debug build and am attaching the log.  I'm also attaching my mod.ini file in case something is setup wrong in there but I doubt that's the problem.

Unfortunately I'm going out of town tomorrow(March 2) for 1 week championship swim meet.  I won't have much computer access either.  Still any help you can give me would be appreciated.

EDIT: I am using the latest nightly Windows build.

Chances are the Artemis DH bombers are doing the bulk of the damage.  Forget about the Nero.  The Nero will be taken care of soon enough .  Concentrate your efforts on the bombers.  I usually send one of wingmates after each bomber and then I take the remaining ones myself.  If they launch bomb take um out.  Concentrate on protecting the Sai and the Sai alone.  Everything else is of no consequence.  This mission may not be a cake walk but it is very beatable.

Thx mate.
I finally pass it.
Problem was with my wingmans, they shoot at everything but not at deadly bombers :>
i destroy every fighter first so wingmans can concentrate on heping me defending sai.
