Re: Access Viotion= CHASH

Does it look like this?

"Access Violation at address 004F3A5E in module 'Starfury.exe' Read of address 00000018"

I get this all the time playing the P&N mod. Mostly in campaign 2 and 3.

Re: Access Viotion= CHASH

Yup, same with me. I've never finished the P&N game because of it. I figure it's because I'm on a laptop with a 16 meg video card hardwired into it and the maker discontinued that graphic card, so no driver updates. If you find a fix, let me know.

I'd start with making sure you have the latest patch, then update your video drivers.

I've found several workarounds.

1st. if the crash happens in systems your moving through, you can use the cheat ~warpmap systemname~ where system name is the destination star system.

2nd. I save the game in a seperate file before visiting my contact. If I can't workaround the crash, I go back to before I accepted the mission and do a couple of trade or mercenary missions. sometimes it clears up over time.

3rd. there's also a cheat that let's you skip the mission you're on, can't remember it though.

this got me as far as the first few missions into the 3rd campaign.

Good luck

If you are using a desktop PC, you can certainly upgrade from your onboard video card. All it requires is disabling the onboard card in the BIOS and placing the new video card in an AGP or PCI slot (preferably AGP as it is better for video cards).

Re: Access Viotion= CHASH

Even with an integrated video card, the video drivers are not built in to the motherboard and are installed separately. Just find out what the card is and look for drivers for it.

Re: Access Viotion= CHASH

Speaking of video problems.

I updated my own drives (Radeon 7500) and when I tried to launch it rebooted my machine.

I went into setup and reset my display settings - and now the game runs windowed (it never would before), and I can't get it to return to full screen.

Video Driver Bug w/ Radeon 7500

Yes.

When I used by default display it would completely reboot the machine.
When I selected the radeon driver it windowed the game, but it was very slow and choppy (frame rate below 5fps).

Finally I just wiped my display drivers and reinstalled them, updating to the Last patch *prior* to the one I just installed (9/9/04 release). It's running properly again, and I've learned how to run in windowed mode (select the radeon driver).
