this should have been reported in the game-warden forums - this is not the place to report bugs for BSG, this is for engine bugs.

I think the game shutting down and restarting the entire system counts as an engine bug.

I'm pretty sure I didn't use the crash-computer SEXP anywhere in that mission.


What happens if you run the debug build corbanb5?

yes, but mod-specific bugs should be filtered through their forums first so we get distilled reports of the actual bug.

Why? It's not as if we insist that FS2 bugs are first filtered through the SCP forum.

Sure it would be nice if we had a bit more info to go on but this is definitely an engine bug and I've seen many FS2 bugs on here with a lot less info than this one.

as described it strikes me as mod bug, and I thought we had an implicit policy (because it would only be sane) that all bugs with a specific mod are submitted to that mod first, see if it's a problem with the mods data, then if it's an engine bug move it on to us -- because it's still possible that it's a BtRL data problem

No game data no matter how corrupt should ever reset the players machine.

talk to the video card manufacturers about that - because bad data, or even good data fed to a defective card, can cause this.

Hello People sorry for the delayed response. Sorry this has caused a bit of an argument. As for the issue it self i can say that it is not my card. I have had it for a while have played well over 150 difference games, demos and mods on it. Never has the prblem been my graphics card. I will post this on the mod forum where it belongs.

Thanks for your help
