| Description | Summary is essentially the issue; this behavior was reproduced using the individually downloaded VPs (downloaded June 15th, 2009) and using new or existing pilots with The Great War campaign selected. All other tech room selections appear to work fine. | ||||

Ah I think I see what's going on. The Port and its MVPs were released during the whole 'getting used to normal maps' stage, and as such only the IBX cache files were included in the VP. FSO now needs two cache files per model - an IBX and a TSB, and generating either or both takes about the same length of time. Since the Karnak is a hugely high detail model, generating the missing TSB file takes 1:20 on my beefy i7 processor, so I can definitely see how it might appear to have frozen your machine. Check in your "FreeSpace2\fsport_mediavps\data\cache" folder and see if you have a Karnak.tsb file in there. If not, then it means it needs to be generated the first time the model is loaded by the game. (I *think* that when you terminate the game thinking it's frozen, the TSB won't appear) Anyway, if you don't feel like generating it yourself, I've attached my TSB. Just stick it in the "FreeSpace2\fsport_mediavps\data\cache" folder and try again. :) |

Using your TSB it still took a little time to show up, but I let the program run its course and it did indeed display properly. I'm running an FX-60, kind of dated, but not ancient. Waiting until Windows 7 to upgrade, hoping that SSD prices come down, and maybe a six-core i7 CPU might be out by then.... |
|
|
Heh, maybe it didn't like my TSB or something. Anyway I'll leave this one open for now as a reminder to fix the cache files once the FSU figures out how best to deal with integrating the Port MVPs into the next release. :) |

Maintaining as open as a reminder. Adding as a note from Wanderer via IRC: <Wanderer> just a reminder to the mantis report - pvi karnak is buggy model <Wanderer> that is it does generate a certain amount of vecmat issues when in use |

Should work fine in the most recent release. |
