frequent crashes when pressing 'R'

[moggy2]

It's only started recently.

I'm assuming it's some combination of set command and set command target that one of my scripts has set, but it's a bit difficult to tell, as the simplest way to check causes the game to CTD.

Anyone else experienced anything like this?

i noticed that the game crashes, when you add an object (station or ship) to something, that's not a sector.. e.g. adding a station to null will crsah your game whenever you press R

pressing 'R' causes a CTD everytime for me also.

Not sure if scripts are causing this as I've started new games that end in the same crashing way...

Did you reinstall the game?


I had problems with the "R" key when I tried to replace the exciting Egosoft .pck files with one I created. I learned you can creat a file, rename it to say "!fight.attack.object" and then just replace it..you get messed up graphics, nothing happening when you press "R" or "." or "," and eventually CTD..duh...

re-uinstalled the game.(Euro version)
never messed with pck files as I have't tried modding patches yet.

I may yet try other country versions i.e. Aussi or American in my keep.
it's kinda crappy when you cant see all your property..

The only new scripts running when I was having problems were

Trade Commands M3
Xai Corp. Trade MK1
Patrol convoy

I went through the galaxy map switching as many ships as I could find off. I can now press 'r' without it crashing.

Now, not wanting to jump to conclusions here, but the only script I'd completely dissabled was the Trade Command MK3. It's also the only one we're likely to have in common. I intend to keep checking though.

Doesn't appear to be any particular script or command.

I've tracked my recent crash to Three worlds where a Toucan has just arrived.

The Toucan on it's own doesn't seem to crash it, but the Toucan and an Express does. I tried stopping the commands on both and that had no effect.

Both ships are from my SPP in Kingdoms end.
