Hi, first off thanks for the creation of this patch, and the time it took. I have had a number of crashes with no log of why it happened. the common occurance is on instant action I am playing scion vs. isdf and a sabre is in the picture. sometime myself or my men are attacking it.

I also had a av with a log, sorry I don't remember the situation at the time.

I will also add my comment about the other post about stupid scavs, I noticed (hard not too) the scavs and healers like to run into extracters and gun towers instead of going around them.

yes I have a clean install and the latest zip. there are no other copies.

the files were already as you said they need to be. they didn't need to be changed. could something else be causing the problem?

I noticed when playing the instant action variety maps as cerberi, you can not build a regenerator or any beyond that. it says to build a crucible which is already built. can you tell me how to correct this problem. thanks.

the instant action maps that are missing are 3way: box, canyonx, demolition desert, grassland, primordial soup, river mayhem, subterfuge, the scrap pit, three way frozen, urban meltdown, wild wood. fe variety: rock.
on the map purple rain the textures look transparent. you can see under the recycler and scrap pools. I get a error message saying ivwalk3w.odf is missing on the maps canyons, pluto base, and scap pit extreme when I select the edf as the enemy.
on canyons there was some meshes missing, but I just copied them from the bindata and that took care of that problem.

I tried replacing the log file a couple of times with no luck. still get the same av.
the update has a different file type does that need to be changed?
I can tell you what maps are missing as soon as I can open fe 1.3 again. there's about 12 maps I think.

after having my comp. lockup on the mission a short break I get an av when I try to open fe 1.3 again. this is the message I get.

how can I correct this problem.

RD can I get the missing meshes and any other updates in a new file without having to download the entire file again. I have a problem with the scrap gauge and satellite map overlaping each other. the scrap gauge seems to be wider than normal. how can I fix this problem. also I noticed in the sp mission " a short break" at the beginning right after the hadean's activate the portal's and disappear through the portal the game lock's up every time when I get an audio message.  some of the instant action maps are missing, is there plan's to add them back in? BTW RD thanks for your time and work on this mod.

@GBD  I don't have dail up available. satellite is good for internet surfing most the time, but I didn't realize it wasn't good for gaming.

@loc  I tried to connect a couple of times, but the connection was refused. I don't know if it was from the ping or something else I did.

I have a two way connection. but I know from checking the speed it had a high ping rate.

I have hughesnet also. It was direcway when I first got it. the download speed isn't what they promise. if you download large file the speed get progressively slower as you download. which isn't good because it's slow to start with.

looks like I won't be playing online. 
It would be nice to find someone local that like's to play. I could take my laptop and network together.
or I can just keep making instant action maps and learn how to make aip's and then dll's. sounds like alot of reading.

I have a question about connecting to play mutiplayer, because I'm bored of playing instant action and campaigns. I have a sat. broadband connection, which has a lag because of the time it takes the signal to travel. I always figured it would be a problem trying to play online because of the delay. is this something I have to deal with or is it not a problem. I would like to play against a real player. thank's for your input.

thank's for this rec. variant, I was wanting something like this. I noticed something that might be a bug. the bomber from the primary base lands at the secoundary bomber bay. if you only have one bomber it wouldn't be a problem, but with two it might.

forgot to mention that there was a lot of duplicate files I had to delete. also there is stills some console errors. I played purple rain 3-way and seams to work ok. the scions took out the edf base before I had a chance. that hasn't happened to me before but it cool. maybe it's just the variety maps that need help.

after I changed the feinstfe folder to instant, everything shows up. but my problem is playing instant action maps the rock and canyons. the ai team didn't try to take any pools. I played hadean against scion on the rock and they didn't build thier base and only took one pool in base. I played hadean against edf on canyons. they built thier base and sent out one tank two times and then stoped. they only took the pool in base. any ideal on how to correct this?

thanks lizard
