search for the file "crash.log" in the botf folder and post it's content in here.

Hello,

i got a similar problem when trying some changes with the BOPL-mod. I changed the model from the federation cruiser 5 (Galaxy X) to the Akira-model from the shippack 2 using the Ultimate Editor 0.7.0b (both from the download section). After starting a game with the federation the new design is shown in the science-screen. But when switching to the shiplist at the systems-screen i got a Crash to Desktop. The "crash.log" didn't had any entry inside afterwards.

Is there anybody who knew something about this issue and can give me a hint?

Thank you in advance for your efforts!

first check crash log (be sure to check log in BOPL folder)

next how did you install (multi installer or manual)

also did you install using software or direct3d?

have you made any other changes?

you could also try to replace the model with the model from UDM ship pack it has a different version of akira.

I just updated ultimate editor in download section. (version k)

I suggest you not only uninstall bop but uninstall multi main installer and reinstall and be sure to select the software option when installing multi main installer. then reinstall bop. and use latest version of UE and see what happens.

Also are all installs the latest versions? multi main and bop. if you downloaded in past 2-3 months they should be.

I just did exactly as you did with no errors with older version of ue (version b)

by using the version k of the UE, everything seems working properly now!

Thank you for your support! :)

Hi, I have a similar problem... i am playing BoP (i also have installed UDM3). every once in a while the game crashes... 1) when combat begins and the screen just starts rotating towards the combatants. 2) when loading a savegame. (the screen simply goes black and i hear "loading, loading, loading, loading, loading..." 3) when pressing continue in the main menu.
