Offline Pratice still fubar

[HomeBoy]

Is this just me?  I am able to run the offline practice mission just ONE time and have to restart the game to play again.   What happens otherwise, is after the briefing room scene, the plane is placed on the runway but I don't get any vectors and nothing happens after that.  Once restarting the game, I can play the mission just one time and have to restart again.

I see all sorts of complaints about other offline practice issues but not this.  Maybe there's something wrong with my configuration or all the missions  I downloaded from Baumer and Widewing.  It's not a huge problem as it doesn't take that long to restart but it would be nice if there is something I could do to fix this.

Thanks!

Anyone know if this patch fixed it? I briefly looked over it and didn't see anything about it.

Yep, patch 4 has fixed the offline-crash problem for me.

Yep me too. Thank god! Thank HT!

Well, patch 4 has done nothing to my weird "One flight only" problem with the practice missions.

Oh well, since I appear to be the only one with the problem, I guess it makes sense this patch would not address that.

I wasn't able to get offline until the latest patch.  Now I can fly offline but my computer locks up when I try to go to the MA after being in the offline practice.  If I go straight to online arenas after opening AH I have no problem.  If I go to offline practice first, then quit offline practice and select online arenas, I get to the lobby OK.  Then after I select an arena my computer locks up during the preloads for the arena.  I can't get to the desktop using the windows key.  I have to press reset to get out of it.  It happens evert time I try it.  My computer is pretty high end; e8400 processor, 8800GTS vid card, 4 GB RAM.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am getting this exact behavior.  I am certain that this started with this latest patch.

All I need to do it go into the offline arena (don't have to do anything at all in there) and immediately try to go online and the game will hang (requiring hardboot) every time.

I always had this problem.

I always had this problem.

Since the last two patches I noticed I could not practice offline. Intel Quad core 6850 here with 2 gigs of ram and 768 megs vram in my 8800 GTX. Haven't changed anything in my X-Fi sound card settings. Running full 1024 textures at 1900 x 1200 resolution and all AH2 graphics maxed out. I will try turning off preload textures and skins but that was not an issue before. Something was screwed up when the P-39 went online. Running in Win Me/98 emulation does nothing. It has nothing to do with multiprocessor CPUs. My frame rate was locked at 59 fps and everything was fine. Noticed it doesn't happen in my old computer or if I do not run 1024 textures in my new rig. Could it be the new updated 1024 textures code? Just trying to help with my 2 cents here.
