No matter what galactic map i play, the game freezes every time i start. I play as the Empire on medium, with max credits and tech. It can't be my comp cause 1.0 works despite that i only have Pentium 4 processor, 1GB RAM, and 64 FRIGGIN' MB OF GRAPHICS MEMORY.

You have to give it time to load. It may take a couple minutes or so.

Also, if you haven't tried this yet, get the Slim Campaign Pack. They should load faster than the original GCs.

Thanks. I guess all i have to do now is get my new graphics card.

Only if you want Space Mode to look good. You shouldn't get much strain from Galactic Mode, as far as we know.

Yeah... 1024 + 64 MB of memory probably isn't going to run the game well. Just consider that our custom textures total up to 192 MB - that's three times as much as what can fit on your graphics card without even considering the textures from EaW and FoC. The game itself usually takes up 800-900 MB at the menu... well, you can do the math.

---bah!!!! Wish i woulda seen this before i posted a new topic 5 minutes ago..

---SAME HAPPENS HERE--Mine is a lil more jacked up then thread starters, but nothing elite.. I run most games & turn most irrelevant details to low etc..

---I have a full gig o' ram & 512 decent yet somewhat dated card.

---HOw will i know if i'm frozen, or the mod is loading? I let it wait about 10 minutes i believe...

-I assume this means i can rule-out any errors with installastion/mod etc, since freezing at launch tends to be hardware RIGHT?

same problem.

I have a custom built comp with good graphics card and 2 gigs of ram. completely removed 1.0 and put 1.1 in alone and went to GFFA press start and thats it it freezes, the mouse moves but the rest of the screen is frozen. I left it to load for 15 minutes nothing.

Anyone?

Edit: I got it to work with the slimmed pack but the thing froze after a few minutes.

Avoid GFFA. That's all I can really say. I won't be in the next version, at least in full glory.
