Serious "Computer-Crashing" Bug: Patrol the Ceres Sector

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
In the Patrol the Ceres Sector Mission, and the Patrol the Zenik System sub-mission, I get a very bad crash.
It tells me to approach the planet, so I do. Then I get to the transporter range, and I beam down (for any reasons whatsoever, with my Engineering Officer "Imjim"). I successfully beam down, but just as the camera starts turning towards my point of view, everything stops, and then 2-3 seconds later I get a grimey-grey (with a black tinged "frame" around it) screen, covering everything. In addition, I was listening to music and at the time of the crash, the music started jittering forwards and backwards on about a quarter-second section. I can't use "Ctrl-Alt-Delete", or the "Start Menu" button, and the only thing I can do is restart it by pressing the ON switch for 5 seconds. Without that fixed, I can't complete the mission!

    I get that once in a while. Load your game, turn every graphic option to minimum and half your res. Worked for me. Crappy fix but at least you progress, if it works.

    It's happening to me too. I've already tried twice and it just keeps crashing and this is the last system I need to visit to complete the Celes Sector.:mad:

    Come on admins, you're technically the Qs out there, go on and repair the universe :p

    Hello I am having the same problem. I noticed that if I run it is just fine. It only freezes when the camera starts to look left (which you have to do to turn. But no matter at the beginning or after getting to the first cacoon once I turn left it freezes then gray screen.

    The problem I now have is that I cannot lower my graphics settings since it is already on Low. Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue?
