Game won't run

I'm also having this issue, and like the others, have tried all of the above suggestions. If it helps: I also have this issue with the more recent builds of the FSOpen engine and am only able to use the debug builds to play Freespace 2. The current FSOpen version I have is 3_16_12 and I'm using a fully patched version of Win 7 64 with a ATi 4870X2 gfx card using the 12.3 drivers

My guess is that this is a general issue with the recent FSOpen builds that needs addressing, rather than your particular title.

Looking forward to playing this when you get it fixed. It looks great.

This seems to bea Crossfire issue. I had the same problem running with 2x ATI 5870's. Disabled Crossfire and all was well. Catalyst drivers are 12.2 btw, so that shouldn't be what causes this.

Disabling Crossfire on a 5970 might be difficult tho.

hello.. i have the same card (AMD 5970) and the same problem as the OP...
could you pls help me also ?
Why dont you make the solution public in this thread ?

Anyway, help appreciated very much !

Thx in advance !

disabling CF on the 5970 is no problem with drivers since cat 12.1 (which i am running btw) ... there is a new profile/option in Cat menue now...
but i have tried with CF disabled and even in windowed mode (which automatically disables CF) to no avail.... as soon as i try to enter the campaign or anything from the main menu game crashes..

Same here. Disabling crossfire has no effect, I'm afraid.

Ok guys, try using this build for now. This is a developer build however so you'll see some crap information here and there. This is not a solution but will at least allow you to play the game for now. Expect some slowdowns however.

That works just fine. Thanks!

I've got an ATI 5970, running Windows 7 x64. I still get the crashes at the ship database and on the mission loadscreen allthough I tried all suggestions: Catalyst 12.3 is installed, crossfire is disabled by application profile and windowed mode, -no_glsl is on and i'm using the debug build.

Try running the game with admin rights.
