I LIVE! I LIIIIIVVE!!! *cough* erm.... Hi... it's been awhile....
Anyways, for those of you who remember and/or care my joystick has been reinstalled to the game and it's working just fine. YAY!
But now I have all new problems with the game itself. The levels won't load under certain conditions. Here's a list of my observations when I tried different things to get levels to load:
-- If I start a new game and pick a level, the level doesn't even load up-- the title screen (the pic with the sun and Descent 3 on it) just sits there and looks at me.
-- I created a new pilot. The computer ran through the lil intro thingy with MD and Kate Harper, but then 2 error boxes popped up: ERROR-- Failed to open MN3 file and ERROR-- Could not load mission. The game closed itself and I was looking at my desktop. Another error sometimes comes up afterwards: "The program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down." (But I didn't even DO anything!!!! )
-- I went to my saved games. Some will load (ONE out of FOUR!!! ). The ones that don't load do.... sort of.... it goes to the level loading screen (where the two red bars show stuff's loading), then the screen goes blank, the harddrive makes noises like it's thinking, then the computer just sits there. I press a key, and I'm back to my desktop.
-- The one game of mine that will load (although my brother's games have no problem... it seems only mine are cursed...) is level 10, and I can go through it just fine, complete the level, and the computer/game has no problem loading up the next level.
That's all of the observations I've made. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the heck is going on here?? I'm getting rather frustrated at this point.... cuz all I wanna do is play my game!!! *sniff*
Hunter, if you remember, I believe it was you who told me how to create a new saved games list by moving files around.... could that have to do with the cause? Or maybe it's my CDs, which are getting kinda old and scratched? (although my brother says the game's info is saved on the harddrive...)
Any help, suggestions, whatever, would be greatly appreciated, but if you have to explain how to fix this/what to do, please use small words and LOTS of description so I can figure out what you're talking about. I'm not exactly a computer genius....
I'd like this problem fixed as soon as possible, cuz in August I'll have a friend visiting me, and she's heard of this game and I'd like to show it to her WITHOUT the problems....
Thanks.
(btw Hunter, thanks for addinng the old smilies to the new bunch!!!! )
Help help help!
