EDIT: I notice that there are .sav files in my directory for each of the missions I tried. I thought Ares had save/load disabled?

 

It has save-load disabled during ingame. The saving-at-mission-start code isn't skipped tho, but even those saves are broken.

Happy holidays,

I've had the chance to try MO3 at the weekend using a Windows 7 PC and I can confirm that the same directory (literally the exact same folder) works perfectly fine, with no issues restarting missions. It seems to be a Windows 8 specific issue, though I can't for the life of me begin to explain why.

I've tried all sorts of compatability settings and colour reduction modes, but it just doesn't seem to want to work. I won't have access to that PC for another few weeks, but I thought it'd be worth reporting in just to share my findings.

You should also have an except-timestamp file which is supposed to hold the crash info in your case.

Those were the only files generated in this case. I have another debug log with a time stamp in the file name, but I suspect that was for one of the other crashes I had while collecting the above info.

Good day,

I have a pretty consistent crash bug with some of the Allied missions when attempting to retry them. If I either restart from the pause menu, or abort and choose the same mission (or a different one) then it will crash almost as soon as it enters the loading screen. Here's an example debug and syringe from Mission 04 (Heaven and Hell).

Interestingly, if I restart as soon as the mission begins (mash Esc) I can get it to restart successfully. Unfortunately this isn't any help if I intend to actually play the missions. This doesn't seem to be an issue with Mission 01 (Red Dawn Rising) or Mission 03 (Road Trippin'), I seem to be able to restart those missions as many times as I please.

I'm currently running the game windowed in Windows 8.1 with MOLauncher.exe set to run as administrator and in 16-bit reduced colour mode. Let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks.

EDIT: Mission 02 (Eagle Fly Free) doesn't work at all using the 'mash Esc' method.
