Hello altogether,
I want to start this thread to find out what causes the latest build 4.1: 31st August 2017 to crash on OS WinXP or older hardware like mine. The goal is to find out is it WinXP or system requirements, and maybe add a low end option to your install.exe of this amazing mod "NEW HORIZONS"
I must admit though, my knowledge about hard & software is from installing and playing modded games over 10 years now, so NOT educated in any way for this. I guess my XML based modding for FS13 has no relevance and will not help me here.
Since last winter I play with the 3.4 and have no serious complains, it works well.
2 weeks ago I continued playing this again ( I change games after my mood, pirate, dragon slayer, Emporer of a space empire…), noticed the update and installed it.
Since then I have CTD's everywhere, this version does not work for me.
Now I have a fresh install, only main files & 16:9 textures, default settings (except my screen res: 1600x900, too high?), and started with Vanilla (urgh) "Tales of a Seahawk". During the tutorial I had a lil sword crossing with Malcolm at Deck and from there I wanted to land, but there was the first crash. Copied the files and noticed - no error.log!?!? In engine.ini its activated. Loaded save from deck, and crashed again!
At this point I would need some help from anyone. I can work with some hints and test play, as long I have the spare time.
Here the scrap if have rearranged to a working PC! Phenom X4, 3Ghz, 4Gb Ram, Radeon 5700, 1Gb Vram, Sata HD 1TB, and a proper cooling of course.
Thank's for your attention, ...and your help?
