Inefficient//Campaign

[caelunniveus]

I downloaded and installed a copy of Starsiege (thankyou Snow), and I do seem to be enjoying the game. The Human campaign and Multiplayer run smoothly, even if it has a small glitch with the toolbar (temporally fixable).

However, the Cybrid campaign is unplayable, in a literal sense. Starting the first level everything seems ok until player control is allowed. At which point, I find my HERC "bouncing" in a way that makes me assume I'm stuck halfway in the ground, I have no sound besides the animal's com-chatter, I cannot move except forward and backward (and even then no walking animation, I only knew I was moving from looking at the map), and it seems that while I could fire my weapons they don't do anything, and vice-versa.

If anyone else has had this problem, what would be the fix?

Hrm. Unfortunately I cannot recreate these circumstances. I've heard tell that the first mission can glitch out, though I have never experienced it for myself. Either re-starting the campaign or a series of images/video may help.

As for the toolbar, that should be a mere case of resolution. As I run Vista, I use Basic (instead of the standard Aero), but running Starsiege with the "Disable Desktop Composition" amounts to the same thing.

I'll try "rebooting" the mission again. See if that does work.

As for the toolbar, which I didn't explain because it isn't a big deal, Whenever the game switches between gameplay graphics and the menu I get the tool bar at the bottom popping up, and forcing a tad of the top of my screen off. I "fix" this simply by using the auto-hide function on the toolbar, and I could also fix it by pressing the windows key and going back into the game (though the second only fixes it for until it happens again).

This is a pretty consistent problem for me as well; I resolve it by, as DS noted, simply rebooting Starsiege until the damned thing behaves. It should after a few attempts.

I'd love to determine the actual cause of this so we can fix it. Anyone with any ideas, let me know.

Good luck.
