Title: Earth 2140 Mission Pack WOS hangs
Post by: Bamiga2002 on February 13, 2012, 07:43:14 AM

OK I got this weird problem. Earth 2140 WOS-version is working nicely but Mission Pack isn't. It just hangs and reboots when you try to select any option in the menu screen. Anyone have this problem? Also if it is working for someone please PM me about the WOS-exe of the mission pack, I'd like to try it out. Strangely enough the 68k-exe works without problems...

posted this also on EAB (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=63119).

I remember having this problem and trying quite a bit before getting it working. It's been years since, but I either added or removed NONSD parameter from the SetPatch line in my Startup-Sequence file. I don't remember which way I went with it, but that was the change that got the game working on my system.

Hope this helps.

Glad to know i'm not alone :). I'll try your suggestion Roj - playing arond with SetPatch - and if you remember anything else about this please let me know. How could NONSD affect this btw.?

Also if I try to use command line option "P96WritePixelArray" Earth exe fails and gives guru suspend/reboot #80000000B or similar error msg...

** SOLVED **
I don't really know what exactly fixed this problem, but by copying/using SetPatch (c) and NSDPatch.cfg (devs) from OS 3.9 to 3.1 cured this problem (as Roj hinted). There is something in NSDPatch that fixes the freeze. So to summarize:
(Applies to WB 3.1)
- copy c:SetPatch from OS 3.9
- copy devs:NSDPatch.cfg from OS 3.9
- reboot, launch game & enjoy :-)

Thanks Roj! :)
