I have a problem last weeks with the SF2 Europe. Game crashes many times and in most cases I can't finish the mission. Game crashes usually when the explosion effects appear in the screen and in some other cases when game is paused for more than 10-15 seconds. I would be grateful for any help.

Don't know how much help I can give, but posting some more info might help ppl suggest a fix.

-What operating system do you use?
-Any mods?
-Have you tried re-installing the game?

I will try to be as detailed as possible. When game crashes I don't get any error messages, the screen turns black and after 3-4 seconds the computer shuts down! I use the ATI HD 4850 version along with driver Catalyst 9.6 and in the game I use unlimited graphics.

At the beggining there was no problem but after some time, SF2 Europe started crashing when using some specific terrains like Korea or Desert without doing something. Simply after some time the screen turned black and the pc shut down. Later if the game was paused for more than 10-15 seconds, same thing, screen blacken and pc shut down. I decided to install SF2 Israel to see if there would be any difference. In SF2 Israel things were worse! (Same graphics selected) I couldn't finish neither one mission! Now I use only SF2 Europe and in every terrain I have this problem. SF2 Europe is updated to June 2010.

As described before, most times the game crashes when the explosion effects appear in the screen. In SF2 Europe I use the Hollywood explosions. As said above at the beggining there was no problem, after some time, game started crashing. I thought if there is some problem with the performance of the PC so I made a scan in the whole hard disc. No viruses no threats in general.

Any ideas?

Sorry maybe a stupid question,
but are your mods for the Gen 2 Soms?
and, have you in the Terrain.ini the right *.cat file linked?

Some add ons are from WoE/WoI/WoV series but I don't think that's the problem. I add them in the Saved Games\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters2 Europe\Objects or I must do something else in order to make it work better?

When saying if I have in the Terrain.ini the right *.cat file linked, can you explain?

Thanks.

In combatace.com in SF2 forums it is written that an aircraft mod for gen1 can be converted to gen2. I just drop the aircrafts in objects/aircraft folder. I may have to read more carfully the instructions in SF2 forums.

I reinstalled SF2 and I think I find out what's the problem. When game is not patched everything is OK but after the February 2010 patch
is installed the same think. Screen turns dark and after that pc shuts down. I can see that graphics of SF2 are greater when use February 2010 patch and I think that with some way this has to do the need of power supply for video card. I use two cards ATI HD 4850 and as far as I know two video cards need more power supply than one. Maybe I need a PSU which can provide at least 700 or 800 Watts.

I used the latest catalyst version and also I lowered the graphics level but problem still existed. It makes impression to me because this problem started when I had used one or two terrains that propably were not campatible with SF2.

On the other hand there's no problem when using the WoE even in the highest graphics.

I also had this problem with Flamming Cliffs 2 but notice something! Lock On FC 2 was working fine untill the problem with SF2 appeared!!!

When did you purchase the game?
Depending when game was purchased,it may already have the latest patch.
TK usually patches the game for download prior to releasing the new patch to the public.
Do the basic install and then run the game. In lower right hand corner of opening screen,there will be a date.(Feb2010 Jun2010 Etc) This is the latest patch that has been added to the game.
If it says Jun2010,you do not need to patch it. It already has the patches installed.
You may be trying to patch an already patched game,creating a conflict.
Jun2010 patch is the latest patch,it contains all of the previous patches.
There is no need to use them all.

Most all SF1/WOE addons will work in SF2/SF2E. You have to consult the Readme or knowledge base to find out how to install it and modify it to make it work in SF2 series.
