Dangerroom crashes

Hugh Jazz · July 03, 2007, 09:44:49 PM

When I press the danger room button a second time during a single ff session, the game crashes and simply returns to windows. Also, when loading any scenario, it takes an unusually long time during the last period of loading. I'm not sure if these two are connected in any way, the first is a killer while the second is just annoying :). Thanks in advance for any help whatsoever!

I am pretty sure the first thing is an issue with the FF 1.3 patch. I don't know if there is a handy solution, aside from just avoiding going to and from the DR so often.

Yup, I have the same problem, I just make sure once I'm done a danger room scenario, I exit Freedom Force all together, then boot it up again to start a new danger room match. Takes awhile, but it usually takes ALOT longer if I let it crash.

And you were right!! I reinstalled without the 1.3 patch and lo and behold, the problem is gone. Thank you stumpy!

Can I use FFX without the 1.3 patch?

That patch was for compatibility with Windows XP Service Pack 2. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, you shouldn't need the 1.3 FF patch. But, you will still want the 1.2 (or at least 1.1) patch, since it adds the Danger Room and fixes some issues with the base game.

Has anyone found a solution to this. I've just re-installed FF and I'm running Vista these days.

yes i cannot play in the dangerroom since i have installed the patch 1.3 and the ezfx mod. I need the patch to play, and the ezfx is too cool to not use? i am getting an error and game crash everytime i try to get into the danger room.

it says

alert: CCampagnImp::getNextCampaignMissionDef(), invalid campaign mission index

ok so now i've even tried to play the single player campaign and it crashes with that same error above. what to do!

i even reinstalled it and put in 1.2 patch and no ezfx. i cannot play 8(

Try looking in the data folder for a file called "campdef.dat" and either move it outside the game folder or rename it. Technically i think you can delete it, but I prefer to keep it around just in case.
