AP 2.0 - can't enter to Albion Gamma sector : [Solved] workaround found.

[bufi]

Hi;
I have started main plot on 2.0 steam version and I can't enter to the Albion Gamma sector. Can't continue a plot.

Installed only Bonus Pack.
Game started on 1.0 and played ~200hrs. since 1.0; 1.0b; 1.1; and 2.0 patch.

I have chcecked early save with 1.1 version and it works fine. I can enter to
sector AG. When I load newer save with 2.0 version, game crash when entering to Albion Gamma. What I'm doing wrong?

Here is the last save vanilla 2.0 +BP:

Yes using that save and vanilla X3AP 2.0 + BP, I get a black screen freeze on entering Albion Gamma. It is not your system.

It might be a corruption already embedded in your savegames though, or it could be a new version game bug or maybe an old one nothing to do with the patch (see below). We need to hear from more players entering that sector on that plot in 2.0 as to whether there are issues or not.

Try sending another ship of yours ahead into that sector to see if there are any military capitals or more especially any NPC TL's behaving oddly in there. There have been issues with such ships (especially TLs building stations) with conflicting script orders and causing freezes when you go IS.

EDIT: I loaded the save, undocked, ejected and sent the M5 through the gate to scout Albion Gamma without a pilot. There was indeed a Teladi Supply Albatross TL idling about pointlessly in the central area. I think that might be the culprit and it may need to be 'rebooted' before you can enter.

Right, I saw a similar problem in the German forum recently. The TL's job is it to build a station in that sector, but somehow the script running on it is stuck. Attacking the TL with a ship OOS should be enough to interrupt that script (with one of the "attack enemies"-scripts). Afterwards you should be able to enter that sector again. If the TL is then not attacked by anything, he should also just leave the sector.

Yeap, it was a Teladi TL in sector center. I send Hoshi to attack the TL. When
TL enable red, ordered jump out from sector and I can enter to the Albion Gamma and plot continue. Problem solved. Thx for help. I'm back to game
