Film corruption
« on: March 10, 2004, 11:03:52 AM »
I've sent a corrupted film to support and am told its a buffer overrun problem and is on the fix list. Over the last couple of nights, the last five films I've recorded are corrupted. I know in a least two of those cases, I took off from an area that had very little activity. I noticed this problem didn't start until after I got about 100 films in the film folder. Could the number of films in the folder have anything to do with it? The problem has been sporatic up till now, but with 5 in a row, it might be a good time to start trouble shooting to see if its a hardware thing causing the overrun. Any suggestions?

Edit: In one instance, uppon starting the film in a very low activity area, the game stopped (freeze frame) and disconnected me. That was first time I've ever been diconnected

yeah.. too many films in the directory.

make a new directory and move them there.

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
