frostbite 1.3

[S.p.i.d.e.r.]

Actually. I have used Tim Leary's Frostbite 1.3 updater weeks ago, I just installed into a blank directory and did a manual replace, and it works perfectly.

It is not the installer, it is the user, in this case.

[e?e G??nk]

the problem appears to other friends as well.
When they host, they can choose the weapons, but guests always have the AK74 with binoculars or something. And in the soldier selection i have 4 rifleman, 4 snipers, 4 support & 4 demo.

It's completely screwed up. I see a sniper skin guy and it says "demo expert" and i can pick M4 even if the skin guy is still holding a sniper gun. Very funny. Well, i forget Frostbite, but i remember it was fun to play.
I may go back to Ghost recon 1.0 to test...

Goonk:

Are your hosting friends using modded weapons?  If so that's your culprit right there.  

I know the first problem of which you speak, if it is getting binoculars instead of sensors - that is not a frostbite 1.3 problem at all - I have seen it elsewhere.

There's definitely something wrong with how things were installed or modded.  I suggest going back to default kits and weapons for  Origmiss/mp1/mp2.

Problem 2 that you mention sounds also like a bad installation or custom modding of kits and weapons.

It only takes one wrong or illegal character sometimes in a modded weapon or kit to throw something out of whack.

That's all I can think of since I have seen similar to this before and heard of it - but i don't experience it at right now as I don't mod my kits/weapons any more.  There's also  dozens of people I've hosted for that don't have a problem either.

I dunno really.  I think all the bases have been covered.   Updating from 1 to 1.1 then 1.1 to 1.3 and pointing my manual installers to the right place....    

Perhaps the best thing  is for somebody to combine all the updates together and offer a full 1.3 version download.

1) i am not using a single moded weapon/kit/hero/mission
2) i have been using a newly installed ghost recon. I haven't used a single file from my old ghost folder. I had to set my preferences/keys again... and i updated it to the latest version (updater 1.0.3 furnished by game ranger). Then i installed Frostbite (i downloaded it again from the official frostbite site which links to the DAMN R6 version by the way). Then i updated it to 1.1 then 1.3.
note that either 1.1 or 1.3 have problems in hosted games.

Did you also experience the same issues on other Frostbite hosts than Sturm's one!?

Where only the weapons selection affected or also the camo selection!? Did it show 8 different camo's per player class(rifleman, support,...)?

Bye,

Mauti
ps: gonna check it again but I didn't experience any issues yet except on Sturms host.

[recon]

i have now island thunder for mac

i reinstalled all, placed Mp2 in the modarea and then i started

after playing island thunder i reinstalled frostbite and updated it

CAMPAIGNS dont function

other stuff as quickgame or MP functions well

but not a single campaign - doh

[BTs_Ch A oS]

Mauti, if you read your previous posts in this thread you state that it was SignTist's host which had the Frostbite inconsistencies.  I have rarely (only twice) hosted at all--and have never hosted Frostbite (although I love it)!!!!!  I assume you are just mixing the top two GhR idols around, lol!  Have a good one Mauti--I'll see ya on GR,

                          PS>--My new name is "Ch A oS" and my old name was "ST u RM"

Hi Recon,

did you try out if your conversion of Island Thunder works fine!? Test this first and then FB again. IF it still doesn't work please post your .lke log file here.

Bye,

Mauti

and this is how it looks like if i have island thunder on

[recon]

and inbetween im waiting for your thoughts i reinstall frostbite and test vers. 1 without an update, then i will make one update, testing, and at least i will update the last version per hand without an installer and then lets see

and this is now the listing after doing the updates per hand and not letting the installer go directly to the frostbite folder  

damn, something is completely wrong . . .

Hmmm. It seems that it can't find your blackhawk down model located in your MP2 folder. Look at your Ghost REcon Data/mods/MP2/Model/ folder if there is a file "v_blackhawk.pob". If it's not there this is the reason why your game crashes.

The other alerts can be ignored and doesn't make your game crash.

Bye,

Mauti

[recon]

it is still there where it should be

if i play island thunder i get always the intro with the blackhawk before each new campaign

i did three complete new installs now, maybe try a fourth one ?

[*DAMN Mauti]

No. There must be a fault somewhere else than in your IT conversion(but you say it works so ARG) because here FB works great. I just tried it yesterday and no troubles playing the first mission.

To sum up: your IT is working, you have the mods activated with Desert Siege on top of the list, then IT and then FB.

One last thing you can try is to delete the frostbite/map/radar_base/radar base.sht file. That could also be responsible for unknown crashes and the file will be generated on the fly again once you run the mission.

Hope this finally works,

Mauti

[recon]

DAMN YEAH  

its ok now  

thank you

. . . heast, gschamster diener . . .

da freut sich grad' einer, see you

[*DAMN Mauti]

Gern geschehen  

Ciao machs gut,
