Hm there seems to be some old model files: packages/bugsblake/ford mustang bullet2/ford mustang bullet2.pkg
But that has never stopped the renderer before. Maybe try to remove the old objdef file.

Oh, now I see this:
DEBUG: data root directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Outerra\Anteworld\

You installed data to the same folder, and the last version checks whether the program can create files in the data directory. When it can't, it should start using the default data path into c:\users\... directory.
Maybe that's causing some problems.

I have deleted the mustang folder and i even deleted bugsblake folder. I have no clue to what to do next. .. reinstall outerra?

Please move the data somewhere where it can be written. Windows UAC prevents outerra.exe from writing to Program Files. You must have been experiencing some side effects from it before, only the latest version actually checks it and tries to do something about it (but fails in some cases).

Reinstalling is the safest way, but you can also move the data, campos and custom packages somewhere else and edit the data.cfg to point there.

UAC is the first thing i disable after a windows install! nothing but trouble that, it messes with everything! once its disabled not a problem!

Same here, it does no good to have it on. I have Bugs' cars too and it works normaly for me.

I disabled UAC and moved all vehicle/object folders out  of outerra and it worked ! Thanks Cameni!

Can't wait!  Live multiplayer would be a lot of fun!  Be sure to set up an official server.     (Also note that griefers would first have to find whatever it is that you made, which will not be very easy...)

What do you think the limit of players/server will be around with the engine's current state?  I think right now the server load would be somewhat light since currently you can pretty much only just drive/fly around, place static objects, and make craters.  Also there would be a good chance that at any given time, not all (but still maybe the majority) of the people on the server would not be close enough together that they would need to be sent updated information about each other.  Heck, if UFO mode still used no model, you would only need position updates for vehicles and crater projectiles, at least I think anyways.

I don't really have any experience yet in working with networked games, so I could be missing something that is significant networking wise.

thanks for the update!

[adriaan]

thanks! keep them updates coming!

btw i got a small isue on my laptop. it has a decent ati card but the performance is horrible (under 10fps) on every setting . is this a comon problem?

[cameni]

What graphics card is it? Also the eng.log and time.log may be helpful in pointing to some issues.

Esc key is not closing the main menu.  It like closes and immediately opens I think.  But clicking the X still works.

[adriaan]

its an ati mobility radeon hd 5650
here are my logs

eng.log, not eng.cfg

[adriaan]

i figured it out. its because my drivers are old and i can't update them because its a switchable graphics card.
btw have you seen the MASSIVE thread on the frontpage of r/gaming? excellent publicity!
