Running rebalance 350 Mod and when setting up for open SP and starting anywhere in the Mod, game keeps shutting down and returning to desktop when trying to launch into space. Music and game sounds keep playing but no video. Yes I re-installed everything and it still does the same. I managed to play the story line but it freezes in the middle of the mission after Trent meets Juni on California Minor. After the transport comes in contact with the outcast enemies and you start for Willard Station it justs locks up. Actually the whole system did and that has not happend in a long time and I don't recall it happening on this system I am running now which meets all the requirements easy.

When this happens I have to hit the windows key and shut down the game from the desktop. I went out and changed the video card to a ATI 256meg card thinking it was the ATI 128 card. I have had this working before and can't figure out why its just this Mod. All the others Like Monkey, Discovery and more load up and run fine even with a few other mods activated. Anyone know what causes this? And if there is a patch for the rebalance 350 mod lingering out there I might need.

Any help is appreciated. I really like this mod when I had it working before. Also didn't really change any thing and in BIOS also. Did however change and disabled the AGP card and running this PCI with no probs.

I managed to re-install the Mod and played thru the missions. A couple of times it did jump back to the desktop but I just restarted and was able to continue. Your right about the fact that its probably not my hardware because it still does it with the new card. It still won't let me play open SP and as soon as I try to launch from a base it does the same annoying switch back to the desktop but everything else seems to be running but no screen in the game. I can manuver, hear the engines, guns, and music. Just no picture. Thats why I suspected the 128meg card was going bad and went out and got a 256 meg card. Lastest FLMM used and I continually restore backups and save the dll files just in case. Still puzzels me to no end why I had it working before, but now it justs acts up all the time. I even disabled any background tasks, services, etc. thinking something is causing this but still have that same problem. Maybe one day I will rack my brain a figure out whats causing these switches back to the desktop.

Seems a dynamic link library may be causing the game to freeze and send me back to the desktop. Here is some of the crash data information I picked up and if anyone can shed some light :idea: I would appreciate any feed back. Most are the rp8 library but there was a common library that snuck in. Other than that the game plays after you restart, but then starts acting up when you least expect it.
