post the error code your server generated
also have a look on your root drive there should be a log from the server, maybe you can nail the bug this way.

trade rings must be in sequential order or you crash the server on docking.
undock crash maybe due to crashy npc spawns ?(check encounter values do not exceed 100%) did you always crash the server on exit ?

try turning 3d sound off.
post the error codes.

3D Sound is already off.

I did a clean install and still experienced the inconsistent crashing leaving Shinigawa Station. Oddly, now when I try to run FLspit after the re-installation it's saying it can't find a spew file, despite the crashes still happening. If you know how I can get FLspit to read the file again I'll try to get a fresh error log.

But I entered this string in Google prior to the re-install, so maybe this will suffice:



From Windows Event Viewer:

Not sure why it says 1.64.0.0, the mod according to Moddb is 1.65 - the last upload of it.

Sorry, but that's all I have of it right now.

One thing I'm noticing is how inconsistent its being when leaving the station.
The posts here combined with what I got when I google searched that FLspit fragment above made it sound like it just might be a NPC issue. The ships that spawn to fight when you leave the station, or something. Though that doesn't explain why entering a trade lane would lead to it - doesn't it only spawn ships when the lane is disrupted or you leave it? Not enter?

Regarding server logs, does that apply to my problem? I'm playing Open Single Player, not hosting a local multiplayer server or anything. Open SP replaces the New Game button in the games Main Menu and doesn't involve using the FLServer application or entering multiplayer. Far as I know anyway, maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm also not sure how those differ from the normal error logs, if they even do. So I'll need information on how to find it if it is required.

I've kind of given up on Shattered Worlds OSP and just reinstalled X3:AP, haha. But if any of you have more trouble shooting ideas I'll still give them a shot and test them out, just to figure this out.

Edit: To note, too, it's not limited to this single trade lane. It's all over the New Tokyo sector.
Also, taking the Jump Gate back to Honshu worked fine, but taking the Jump Gate to the north of the Honshu one in New Tokyo caused a crash on entering it. Not sure what that means, but it may help.
I haven't landed on any other station or planet in New Tokyo besides Shinigawa as I just assume the entire sector is an error waiting to happen, but if you need me to check I can go land on and try to launch from other docks there, but my moneys on it being the same deal.

i would stat by commenting out encounters then see if your still crashing. just comment out
then you can start adding them in singularly.

crashing leaving a station ? "WARNING: Failed to get start location"
check the base has


crashing on jumpgate
try deleting ,,DATA\Universe shortest_illegal_path.ini, shortest_legal_path.ini, systems_shortest_path.ini.
now start flserver.exe and it will rewrite these files for you.

try turning 3d sound off you may have to use a hack
"freelancer.exe, 02B6CB, 04->00, disable 3D sound (ignores the value of USE_3D_SOUNDS, always using 0)." Andoxa

get a copy of fl error checker and flscan
use these two too discover files errors that lead to crashes, ie bugged npc ships, missing files etc..

Hey guys, Hunterkiller asked if I could pop my head in here.

It definitely sounds like an encounter issue. I quit modding after version version 1.3 and turned it over the the rest of the guys... so I don't know what channels happened in 1.65. I do know for a fact that 1.3 worked with OSP (well there was a way you could break it if you cruised faster than normal).

The easiest way would to grab a copy of the 1.3 encounters and do a quick compare. If you cannot find them, I would remark all the encounters out and add them in one by one until you get an issue and start digging from there. I'm sorry I am not more help. I quit modding in 2010 and don't remember much. :*(

just a thought here, is the mod using custom ships ?
if so your problem may be with wrongly configured .sur files.
make sure that the thruster, ecm, and mine are listed in the ships sur file, use Adroxa`s flmodel tool to see the file data, also i have seen crashes from projectile weapons so check meshes and .sur files.
On a server you can patch against these crashes in sp i am not sure if you are able to capture them.
