Hi there,

I seem to be having the same problem as airforce - namely complete lock up during multiplayer. Game hangs, only ctrl-alt-del can get me back to windows which is running fine. Im working on a fresh install and i downloaded the full 1.02 patch. Lock on settings are set to medium and im using the latest cats for my radeon. Check sig for my specs.

Thanks for any help you can offer
i hope i can get this problem sorted quick so i can get back to an otherwise excellent patch !

Several items to report:
1. Missions with clouds set anywhere form 5 to 8 in density lose clouds as function of the number of times a mission has been run. To clarify: after starting lo-mac, the first time I run the mig-29 quick-start mission is clouds are rendered properly; however, if I exit the mission and then fly it again there number of clouds is greatly reduced. By the third time there are no visible clouds. Furthermore, the shadows and reflections from the clouds still remain and can be seen throughout the environment. I have observed the same condition at various levels of graphics and AA settings.
2. During a landing on an aircraft carrier, when the a/c catches a wire, the cockpit view is temporarily zoomed in to simulate the sudden deceleration. After a carrier landing in cockpit view the game menu remains zoomed in and is only partially visible. Restarting the game fixes this.

thnx and congrads to the ED on the patch

I have tried re installing the game and using both patches from 00 to 02 and 01 to 02 both give the same error messages. Game ran fine before with patch 01.

Me too,I have reinstalled LOCK-ON 3 times now but the message is still there every time a load a mission.
Any help,I can't play v1.02? The message error says something about "renderer dx" error(or something like that)

Trimmming dosn't work, either on the keyboard or mapped to the HAT on my joystick...



Lock-On Screenshots

it appears that pitch and roll trim controls are reversed. A simple remap should fix the prob

Any more suggestions?

I've had this happen when I did not make sure that my profile for the Track IR was set to Lock-On in the "Assign Autoload Profiles"

Hope this helps.

Mig weapons no longer work, regardless of controller assignment. Other planes working fine.

just a small glitch for now, when trimming nose up, it seems to repeat constantly and aircraft goes into steep climb, may be able to find a workaround. Trimming nose down is fine.
ignore this post, I screwed something up in the controls section which had this effect, trim works great. p.s. great control system guys

1st of all: wonderful patch! I love it.
Especially the new TWS/RWR...

Also do the 15 radar/120s work great!

BUT, there still seem to be ghost spikes on the A-10 RWR. I have a custom A-10 mission (which I created a few months ago) to practice different weapon release conditions on a few tanks. Inluded is 1 SA-16 launcher, and a F-16CJ SEAD aircraft. The 16 succesfully destroys the SAM with a HARM, but from then on 'till the end of the mission, my A-10 RWR still showed the "16"-spike.

I am aware of the fact that 1.01 tracks don't work any more with 1.02, but 1.01 missions should work, right? I only had 30 minutes to test the patch today, but tomorrow I will create a new mission with similar circumstances.

Hell, I'll even do a complete windows-reistall and redo all the tweaking to maximize performance.



System config

I have done several checks and its official, the SU-33 has only 13 flares in 1.02! Now, I believe this is a bug, I don't think that IRL the Russian Navy would only supplement it with 13 flares.

You still cannot cycle thru ground targets unless you have bombs selected.


*Opinions epressed are mine alone, if you don't agree w/them I apologize as I can't help you w/that**

I have just completed the first 2 missions in the A10 campaign using the default pilot. Nothing is recorded in the pilot logbook

1GB DDR PC3200

Submit a bug report to ATI

I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but the IAS in cockpit and in external view (F2) don't match...



System config

just ran the game with FF disabled and trim now works correctly! weird
u can disable FF in producer.cfg by setting the flag to false
thnx

I searched and didn't find anything about that:
Friend found out that the F-18 is half transparent...I see that too, I don't know about his system but mine is:
AMD ATHLON 2500+
GF4 MX 440 8X AGP (yep, it sux)
256 MB DDR (sux again, note to self: buy Vid card and ram)
amm..and i don think there's anything else needed.
Ingame graphic settings are on medium.

BTW, i see the AIM-7 sparrow is also half transparent....

TAG! YOUR'E IT!

Yeah, that's a GF MX stuck in my MB...

I cant change my IP address in Lan, "Host IP Address". It picks my DSL routers IP, not my LAN IP...the option is "locked" and i cant click on it. In internet mode i can switch between IPS no prob.
I have 2 NICs on my Mobo - one is used to connect the DSL modem, and the other is used for my LAN.

Is this a bug...or is there some text file i can edit?

Well, after reinstalling my entire system and everything, and all that, I installed Lock On and the 1.02 patch. Bugs found so far:
Bug 1. Cant open 1.02 readme, gets tons of errors trying.
Bug 2. Su-25 quick mission crashes after approx 1 second.
Bug 3. A-10A quick mission crashes, forgot why, happened so fast.
Bug 4. Random crashes while changing settings in game.
Bug 5. During the A-10A CCRP training, weird green lines spiralled from the HUD out to the edges of the screen before I hit S.
I've patched all my drivers, etc, and Lock On 1.01 ran pretty well on my pc, only had random lockups. Well, theres the bugs so far, off to find out some more of em the hard way. Will give another updated post and hope someone can help the community out with problems such as these that arise. Until Then.

I'm having a similar problem, though it doesn't lock up in Multiplayer. It locks up if I join a MP game and then try to quit to Windows.

I've tested this by opening LOMAC without playing MP and quitting to Windows, and then by joining a game in Hyperlobby and quitting to Windows. Single player without launching via HL quits fine. If I launch LOMAC via Hyperlobby and then try to quit to Windows, it will lock up after clicking OK on "Are you sure you want to quit to Windows?". I have to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to get the Task Manager and manually kill the process.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling LOMAC and applying patch 1.01 and then 1.01-1.02, as well as direct 1.0 to 1.02; still the same issue.

My system specs:

AMD Athlon XP 2200+
512MB DDR
GeForce 5200FX 256mb DDR with latest Omega drivers
PC Chips M830-LR motherboard
SoundBlaster Live 5.1 MP3 sound

Only one issue so far for me. If I pan away from the HUD by more than 45 degrees or so, the HUD lines and related some data will appear near the center of the screen, still functional, but slightly disarranged. I can screenshot it if it'll help. Not a big deal, just a minor distraction. Most everything else is working OK so far.

yep, su27 has about 13 flares also... if you look at the gauge, there used to be 8 bars but now there's only 4.

Also, I've heard that only the su27 has a problem with the pipper. I find it strange that most of the bugs show up in the russian planes.
