Windows XP crashing Issues!

[Legacy_Dark]

               Yes, I did remove all of the placeables and encounters from the map.  it still crashes on XP machines.  Rolo, I do know about those missing dialog instances. but those are not the issue with this.  that is just minor crude that needs to be cleaned up. something I have been working on.

On the XP Machine I have, I did run it at the lowest settings.  As we talked about,  it seems more like an unloading issues when you are trying to go down into that area.  it will crash with in the first 3 seconds of trying to load in the load screen.

               Great news everyone. I found the problem. I was so concentrated on the Catacombs level as being the problem child that is didn't start occurring to me that the Temple could be the issue. until we noticed the crashing was at the start of the load screen.  That meant as Rolo said, it seemed to be an unloading issue of the level.
 
So I took you guys advice and decided to remove everything from the Temple level. Sure enough, the mod loads back and forth without any crashing at all. So now I need to isolate what the problem entity is, either a script or a placeable.

At least now I have something to go off.

Thank you everyone for all your help and suggestions. you all as an awesome group to work with.

Thank you Rolo for all your help last night. I guess I wont need to call you now.

I will post an update once I find the culprit causing me to pull my hair out the past few days.

Thanks again everyone!!

               Hey everyone, Well after digging into the mod and removing and testing several different things. I finally isolated the issue.

Its the Red Royal Carpet in the Temple that's causing the crashing issues.

Not sure if this can be fixed, this Carpet was on the vault and I do not recall who made it.  I just happen to stumble upon it a year or so ago.

So, I removed the Carpet and now the mod plays nicely with XP. To the beta testers. I have uploaded a new version 32 of the mod and the new fixed HAK files.

Please download those.

On a side note, Gamespot reviewed the mod.  here is the write-up.  They had nothing but good things to say about the mod.

Check it out, nice write up.

Here's the little bugger:

As usual, the hardest part was finding the gremlin.
Note that plane14 node was partially duplicated, which looks like a botched copy and paste attempt in a text editor. All the vert/tvert info and that very crucial "endnode" are missing from the first fragment, but present in the second, duplicate node.

Interesting that Win7/8 could power through that, but XP couldn't.
Anyway, compressing a new Placeables hak for you... it'll be in the dropbox when it finishes squeezing through the Starbucks wireless.
Give it a test drive...
