Ghost Recon, DS v1.0.3 crash/freez

Hello,

I have Ghost Recon, Desert Siege on my ibook with OSx10.4.5. I have installed all the updates:

1) to 1.0.1, and the internal game code version to 1.4
2) to 1.0.2
3) to 1.0.3

I play the game offline/singleplayer. At first everything went smoothly until I reached mission 4 (m04_village). Then, when I saved the game in the middle of the mission and loaded/quickloaded to continue from the saved situation (I got killed or whatever), then when I load the same saved game for few times it suddenly freezes (it goes from the loading screen to the game, the screen stays a bit dark - and sometimes a sound/breathing sound loops - and it gets stuck). All I can do is to restart my ibook, I can't even get back to desktop or anything - the half dark game image just stays there. This is really annoying:(.

And here is the Ike.log file after I restart my ibook:

I have also reinstalled the game and all the patches... but still after reloading a saved game from the same place in the mission (that is mission4 - if that is relevant) for many times the same thing happens.

My friend has the game without the patches and also on ibook (same OS x), but he does not have the problem.

Could it be because of the patches?
Or because of the missing .RSB files?
Could it onley be a problem with the mission4(Village)?

Does somebody have an idea what could be the problem?

thanx

Re: Ghost Recon, DS v1.0.3 crash/freez

I'm guessing you installed the patches one by one. Problems occur when a patch is skipped usually.

Might want to just redo that level of the game instead of using the load from saved game. I've never used the save game feature during a mission myself, could be the saved game got corrupted somehow. Another idea you can try is going into multiplayer and creating a server. Don't worry, you don't need to be on gameranger. Just set it up under coop/mission then load up the MO4 mission and play it. Be sure to give yourself unlimited respawns since you won't have AI helpers with you wink. Don't really need respawns for this mission on solo but things happen and bots will kill ya. You just want to test it to see if it crashes in that. Theres no server browser for Recon other than Ranger so no one else will really see your server up.

Only other possibility i'm thinking is maybe OS X.4.5 broke something in the graphics which has happened on other games in the past. KOTOR has been broken in the graphics since the X.2.7 days.

Re: Ghost Recon, DS v1.0.3 crash/freez

Thanx for the advise.

I guess I'll first just try to play the mission from begining to end without saveing in between  (a new challenge for me) and see if I start the mission every time from the beginning if it still freezes or not.


By the way does anyone know what this means in the .log file:

SimGun: Gun node Fixed gun has no camera offset helper point.

Its something in the mission scripting. Shouldn't be enough alone to cause a crash like that.
