SS crashing when beginning Human Campaign

[ilcyclista]

Hey guys. Have any of you ran into the problem where SS crashes as soon as you try to begin a human campaign? It crashes for me after choosing name, squad name, insigna, etc.

I forgot to mention, it doesn't do this in Cybrid missions and I am running windows 8.

It'll crash due to the new mem.dll. A simple fix for this is to skip the opening cinematic by doing the following:

Open the Starsiege directory.
Go to the campaign folder then Human.
Open campaign.cs in whatever text editor you use.
Find the line that says: cinematicRec = "cinHA.rec";
Change to: cinematicRec = "";
Save.
Done.

You should no longer crash at the start of that campaign. The problem with the new mem.dll is certain textures on the mars terrain don't load properly (I think...I can't remember). At the moment I'd just suggest from avoiding maps with the cinHA terrain (There aren't many if I recall correctly).

It worked! Thanks! SS crashes in other instances. -_- it's alright though.

I did what you said and it got me past the pick a name/logo screen and when I tried to load the first mission it crashed. I've tried all of the suggestions on this thread and this one as well, starsiege1.proboards.com/thread/838/starsiege-download-full-install-mod?page=2 .

any suggestions?
