Finally it works.

I went into the D2X.ini and turned off all of the cache on disk options, and per pixel lighting. this seems to have stopped my issue of between level crashes.

Thank you everyone who has offered their help and advice.

Thanks for the thoughts, both of you. Unfortunately I don't know anything about programming, Karx11erx. At least, not as far as I know. There might be things that I do that are programming, that I don't label as such For now though I'm strictly an end user. Yes, Yokelassence, I am using all of the h...

Well, I've downloaded and installed the very latest versions of everything. I am still having the problem, only now I get to the loading screen for the second level before the game crashes. I'm still getting the "memory access violation" notice in the d2x.log file. I posted the log on sour...

That mod looks unbelievable.

Is it up for download or testing?
If not, will it be soon?

That's just gorgeous. I'm going to have to check out D3 Ultra.

My drivers are up to date.

on sourceforge they suggested that I switch to the ASE format hires models. I still have the OOF ones since I didn't realize that there had been a change. I'll report back when I've the new models a test run.

these models are unbelievable. What is this D3U mod of which you speak? I was so happy when I found D2X-XL that I never bothered to look for Descent 3 upgrades, but if your Black Pyro model is a good example of what D3U is about, then it looks phenomenal.

Thanks for the input everyone. unfortunately I am still having the trouble, but now i have something concrete. in the d2x.log file, the last line is always "Memory access violation" I don't know what this might mean, but I put the file on sourceforge along with my d2x.ini file in the suppo...

Sounds like a good plan but I don't know how to turn logging on. I've searched the D2X-XL website and it is nowhere to be found. I spotted the -printlog command in d2x.ini but I can't figure out how to turn it on, or where it would print a log to.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. unfortunately they didn't work. It doesn't matter what profile I use, brand new, or default. It still crashes at the scores screen. I have even reinstalled everything several times, including the base game. I have posted a report on sourceforge (I'm md1032 over there...

Thanks for the speedy input Pumo.

The profile I'm using is from scratch and is brand new. I'll try the default one anyway.
I'll also jump over to Sourceforge since I haven't looked at it yet.

Hi all, I love D2X-XL and am grateful for all of the work being put into it, but I wish it were more stable. The problem I am having is that whenever I finish a level, the game freezes for a few minutes and then closes. Any help would be appreciated. (it gets to the end of mission scores screen and ...
