I hate them guys especialy kenny hate him the most

Good grief, it took me forever and a day (well actually just 2 days) to complete corporate holdings. Not because it was difficult mind you, three quadlaunchers firing salvo deadshot missiles saw to that. It took forever because the game kept crashing. I would get a little farther each time I attempted the mission. I would get to the mines - it would crash, I would get past the mines - it would crash, I would save the people – it would crash, I would get the people through the jump gate – it would crash. When Jarvis would franticly cry that we gotta beat it – I would somehow become "disembodied" and my view would constantly look to the left, and I couldn’t use the jump gate. Then I would finally get through the mission (with my body/ship intact) and it would crash as I went through the gate. For 2 straight days I’ve taken turns playing IW2 and cowering in the corner in the fetal position, rocking back and forth, sobbing softly to myself.
Whew I fell better, sorry for the rant, I just needed some release.

Also this may help some other poor crashie that’s having the same problem I am.
Im running XP and the F14.6 patch.
1) I usually play with the second “F1� view (the first person one with out the cockpit showing). Well if you’re in this view when Jarvis says that you have to leave it will disembody you, or at least it does for me.
2) When you finish the mission and exit through the gate don’t target the “backdoor� waypoint, or lucrecia’s base (I usually just grab the first waypoint I can find just to get him to go through the jump gate)
3) As for the initial crashes when you start the mission…I have no idea, persistence, and bad words got me through that portion.

Hope this is of use to someone, if not take heart in the fact that my horrible IW2 experience may have entertained you momentarily.

You're welcome to rant as long as you don't attack anyone or any groups personally . The more humor involved the better.

If you browse around here in the forum you'll find several hints and solutions for your problem.

Although it appears to be a grafic problem, it's very likely you've got a sound/sound card/driver problem.

I hate Kenny too. Everyone hates Kenny.

I take it I'm speaking to another MST 3000 fan?

Your probably right Tom, it most likely is a graphic problem. And not to knock the game, but it “breaks� fairly readily. Thus it fuels my love/hate relation ship, but my need to pirate stuff overwhelms the problems the game has.

And the “I hate Kenny� if from southpark, cartman had a little song “I hate you guys�, and as I did this mission for the 25th time I began to sing that song…a lot. After which I would cry myself to sleep (as stated in the above post, ha).

On a side note, I like to wait for mega freighters to hop in from a jump gate. I crank out a disruptor to knock him out for a second right before his escorts show up. Then his mega freighter buddy shows up and mashes into freighter one’s buttocks. Hilarity ensues…as well as some explosions. Freighter one’s pilots coms something about having a wife and kids, and one of the escorts proclaims his undying love for one of the other escorts before its too late. When things settle down, Jafs picks through the choicest frozen sewage to take back to the base.

Not on topic I know, but life is short so I guess it makes it ok. [^]

Ahhh. Mystery Science Theatre 3000 did a few bits about hating Kenny, the little japanese child from the Gamera movies who always managed to a.) penetrate high-security government installations, b.) empathically understand Gamera's good intentions, and c.) save the day (in spite of being only 10 years old).

You misunderstood me (But that doesn't matter 'cause nobody understands me anyhow

It may 'look' like a graphic problem but it probably is a sound problem.

Try reducing your sound hardware acceleration.
If that doesn't help look at this thread:
www.i-war2.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1400
(among several other things it shows how to reduce sound acceleration too):
