Problem loading two of the four missions

[LrdPhoenix]

Ok, so Outpost and the Crown of Penitence both load normally and enter the game within 10-15 seconds or so of it finishing loading where it does the Processing thing, and it plays quite normally with no lag whatsoever.

 

However, both the Chalice and Training missions load up and reach the Processing, Please be Patient point, and then freeze and eat up Processor time. I let it sit for around 20 minutes today loading the Training mission, just to see if it was a time issue, and it never did load up.

Others have had this problem. Check the FAQ at http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=FAQ%20 to see if there's a solution.

Yeah. Check the FAQ first.

 

How much RAM have you got? It could be that it's starting to use Swap space, and maybe freeze up doing that (worst case possibility is a bad sector). It's true that the training mission has complex pathfinding, but it never should take 20 minutes!

It was the Catalyst A.I., didn't think to disable it since the others loaded fine.

Hmm. That's an interesting. I guess everyone should turn off Catalyst AI whether they think tdm works or not.
