just curious if a lot of people experience this problem or if its just on a few systems (i have it)
CTD due to mercenaries button
- Thread starter holy king
- Start date
yeah, let's see if the ones of you who expericence this issue share the same hardware or OS or whatever
I get it sometimes when I click on the button (I'm pretty sure it's never done it just from hover), but not always. I abstain for this reason.
Running XP Pro, on a couple year old athlon based system with an ATI Radeon 9600 plus (or something like that). nforce motherboard and sound.
on a related note: why can't I contract out my UUs?

Yeah, get it whenever i go anywhere near the damn button 
.
Anyway to get rid of it, by chance?
Oh, And Also:
-Radeon 9550, I think.
That seems to be the running trend.

ATI mobility X.... are newer. The problem seems to be with Radeon 9XXX

I apologize for ruining your hunch that it is Radeon 9xxx related, because I'm on a laptop with an nVidia 7800 Go and get the bug as well.

Could the problem be W2K-related??

I have been(attempting) to play this mod on my computer that the computer repair shop messed up the graphics card, virus control, and I have speed issues(maybe related to graphics card). But Sometimes when I go to it the mercenary images, Lvls, and prices don't show and I cant click on... This has happened to me with diplomacy options(There shall be peace in our time) loading screens and other things But im quite sure its my computer that the repair people messed up ![[pissed]](/images/smilies/pissed.gif "Pissed [pissed]")
I can't play my new BtS I have waited sooooo long for... Pre-ordered it 3 months in advance, spent 2 weeks in Florida with it waiting at my house, spent another 2 weeks at my cottage, finally get home to play it, bring my comp to get a new modem so I can get the bested updates then they mess it up and ive only played it enough to get obsessed...

I have an interesting new development regarding this problem. Recently, I ran RFC in BtS on my Vista partition instead of the usual Windows 2000, and there was no crash when hovering over the mercenary button, and the mercenary screen also worked properly (as far as I could tell).
So, running RFC in Vista might be a good idea if you are experiencing the merc-button CTD.

With the new version (1.08), I unfortunately still get a CTD every time I move the mouse to the merc button.

Rhye, are you still actively working on this bug or is it something you just can't fix at the moment because we simply have no idea what's causing it? I'm asking because this bug is what keeps me from playing RFC, it's just no fun when the game is constantly crashing because I accidentally moved the mouse to the wrong spot.
If a fix for the bug isn't possible, could you tell me what I'd have to do to remove the button from the interface? Can I still access the mercenary functionality with a keyboard shortcut afterwards?
