Even with the 68k patch installed, the problem persists. Does anyone know how many patches this game got and if there was a separate "Asteroid Bug Fix" or something?

Damn, I just finished applying "FreespaceUpd68k_1.lha" to my .HDF but you say this didn't fix
There must be other patches available too Edit: could someone with access to the Hyperion website check available patches for this game and upload to The Zone! please? Last edited by DamienD; 29 March 2021 at 12:55. |

I installed the game from the original CD-ROM i.e. "Descent - Freespace - The Great War (2001)(Interplay)[!].iso". |

Are you in software mode with this game ? Have you tried temporarily removing the JIT to see if it also crashes ? Can you provide a save of the game where the problem appears? Last edited by Zarnal; 29 March 2021 at 14:32. |

Bah, I've just purchased the direct download "Descent: Freespace (AmigaOS)" from Hyperion... hope this fixes the issue.

Hmmm, I've just checked the direct download "Descent: Freespace (AmigaOS)" .ISO versus "Descent - Freespace - The Great War (2001)(Interplay)[!].iso".
The files are exactly the same... Great, then I don't think installing "Descent: Freespace (AmigaOS)" and applying the "FreespaceUpd68K_1.lha" will fix; as I've literally already done that with "Descent - Freespace - The Great War (2001)(Interplay)[!].iso" |

I had "Freespace68k Beta 2.lha" archive around, but I don't have any idea if it's for Hyperion's Freespace or for some other port? Can't remember where I've got it. Uploaded to the zone anyway if you want to check it out.
Readme tells: Changes since update 1: - Recompiled with GCC 2.95.3 - Big animations are now streamed direct from disk. Saves memory and speeds up loading. - New audiostreaming code rewritten from scratch. Faster, better and more stable. - CloseWorkbench fixed. - Updated mixing routines. - AHI was always used on 68K systems even if Paula was selected in preferences. Fixed. - Problems with sound volumes corrected. - Afterburner didn't always work. Fixed. (needs more testing to be sure) - Animations during radio conversations were displayd for too short time. Fixed. - Analog joystick code moved into ajoy.library. - Several small fixes and improvements. - Timer code was broken on 68K. Fixed. - New hidden config option 'VideoPlayer'. Allows to use external players for video replay. Example: VideoPlayer = Sys:Utilities/Moovid NOGUI |

The only thing I've noticed is that the files in the archive "Freespace68k Beta 2.lha" are from "07/05/2003". The "FreespaceUpd68k_1.lha" is from "10/03/2009". |

Maybe it's due to some of the settings I've set?
These are as follows, I don't use "Warp3D" or have "Network" enabled: Maybe if I adjust the "Memory" options for "Graphics" & "Textures"? What do other people have set? |

Just want to add that any adjustment of the quality settings (and I tried everything the menu allows) does not change the problem. Neither does turning off JIT in the emulator. |

And maybe it's worth trying to tick "Scale textures". |

@jPV; the "Freespace.exe" from "Freespace68k Beta 2.lha" is a lot bigger than the one after applying "freespaceUpd68k_1.lha":
Should hopefully be a good sign I know the notes say it's been recompiled though. Patrick; as you have the game and are able to get to Mission 2... are you willing to test for me? I'll send you an archive with 2 x .HDFs:

Hmmm, if I get a chance tonight I'll fire up my A1200 and get whatever details I have from it.
But, from memory, software rendering is only supported for the PPC version, so it might not fully work in the 68k version. I only ever used the Warp3D version, so it's also possible that it was fixed in the update for 3D hardware but not for the software renderer. In that case, Wazp3D, or emulating a 3D accelerated card might help... |
