[FIXED]Gahreesen control room and deadly Bahro caves

[FredTCat]

Thank you for getting the the Er'cana control room working, so that I can start feeding the alga. 8-28 all is working fine now (ran it with a test dummy) The book in the watchers Pub is also working. good luck to all. Fred the Cat

I hope the mixers will also work soon. I am working on this problem. BUT if you turn the screen of the imager to the mixersscreen and relink to ercana the buttons are enabled and you can turn mixers on and off.

Should work now.

The thing with the Bahro caves is a mystery to me. I can access the one in Yeeshas journey without any problem - works actually better than in MOULa - but the other caves cause me to crash.

[FredTCat]

I wonder if the cave crashes could be connected to the new PhisX and lower series GPU's? According to PhysX I should not even be able to play this game with my GPU (a GeForce 6200) with this version of PhysX as it only supports GeForce series 8 or higher GPU's. But I can play all of the game (except the caves) with full graphics and full texture, and only have minor slowing problems.(Probably because the DLL's are 6 series from 2007 thus compatible wit a 6 series card) Could the PhisX common files be interacting with a unique file set in the cave levels so that they actually require a GeForce 8 or above GPU to work properly? There is a unique file or file set in the cave levels, or else they would not be the only level that crashes some of us every time. Sense at least 1 player can enter the caves, then the difference should be on our end not the servers. platform is unlikely, I"m on XP Alien is on 7. So that leaves graphic cards as a major possibility. I am still a novice when it comes to computers, so if someone who knows more about DLL's, game files, and GPU's could set me straight on this I would be grateful.

It's a good beginning for this problem. Personally I don't really think that this is a problem with a GPU, but if I erase the impossible things of causes, the rest have to be the problem...
I think we will take a look of this. For now it would also help if the people with this problem would say, which GPU they have. I can say that its not a problem with nVidia GPUs, because I have a GTS450. And I have no problems with the bahrocaves.

Thank you Opa for responding so quickly. I copped the following from the Nvidie PhysX down lode page;
"Supports NVIDIA PhysX acceleration on all GeForce 8-series, 9-series, 100-series, 200-series, 300-series and 400-series GPUs with a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory and 32 CUDA cores. Note: Some applications may have higher minimum requirements."
I think your GPU is on the supported list, mine is a 6 series and not on the list. I hope others who can and can't get into the caves will follow your suggestion and post there graphic card info, and whether they can or can't get into caves, here.

I was playing the off line Uru when I realized that there is one thing in the Bahro caves that I don't think is on any other level, and that is the the lamps that are smoking and dripping sparks. If this is the only place that they can be found, then they could be your unique file set. They also would be a tempting target for advanced graphics effects that cards without CUDA (or its equivalent) could not deal with. They are also a main element in the level, so if they can't lode, then the level can't lode, thus leading to Relto, freeze, or crash. I may be off the mark again, but I thought it worth mentioning.
Good luck to all, Fred the Cat

I'm okay in MOUL(a) with these settings

I'm okay with the rest of TOC
