Use of Map Bug

I've on the forum where some people have had an issuing of the game freezing or crashing when using the in-flight map.

I did not have this issue initially, but do now with a vengeance. This needs to be fixed ASAP! The map is essential. Plus, crashes/loss of games, etc. is VERY aggravating.

Can't see how this was overlooked in the extensive playtesting that went on before release.
 
Try this:

There is one way you could reduce the draw on your video card whilst looking at the maps. which is possibly causing your crash.
in the folder:

C:\Program Files\OBD software\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields\uires\map

you will find 3 bitmap images.

alt_high.bmp
alt_low.bmp
alt_med.bmp

if you open the High and med images with say paintshop or even paint (which is a standard MS image editing program) and resize them to the following sizes.

alt_high.bmp 469x461 pixels

alt_med.bmp 938x922 pixels

this will greatly reduce the size of the image, but is barely noticable in game.

Thanks, Siggi, I will try this.

Hopefully, versions 1.2 or 1.3 will address this.

Very simple actually, the Developers were testing to make sure that under no conditions, would an aircraft take a swan dive, into the Dirt

Maps ? . . . OH YEA we have a map. If every possible eventuality was tested, under every possible condition. I figure a release date as being the Fall of 2012 . . or 13

That's why patches are issued :ernae:
