have Problems with Update v5.6.2 [SOLVED]

[Flash]

hi friends,

first i have to say thank you for all your efforts to keep this game jewel alive.

i played xwa a while ago and all went well, no probs with megapatch 2020, all following patches until v5.0 are working fine.

but now i installed the v5.6.2 fix pack and i have a problem when i try to land.
for example, if i land at azzamen base, a cutscenes should normally starts. but now i`m stuck at every landing sequenzes, the ship stucks and it seems that xwa is crashing but if i hit escape key i come instantly to the after mission menu.
i also have randomly slowdowns now in the ships menu (menu with blue globe, mainhall). i disabled all special effects via babu frics configurator, problem still persist. i also tried several resolution modes, no luck.
if i switch back to patch v5.0 everything runs fine.

any idea what could be causing this ?

i have no ctd, so i have no chrashlog. i have a rtx3080ti, 64gb ram, windows 10, all updates are current.

Another question: is it possible to increase the font resolution in 4K?

regards flash

Sorry to hear about your issues.Some additional information
- What is your monitor and windows refresh rate?
- Does it only happen in events that trigger a video cutscene? Or also the default landing sequence with external camera?

Some things to try:
- A clean install with default config
- Update your hooks with XwaHooksSetup

hi, thanks for your fast reply,

i play via TV LG 55" and 120 hz/fps. i decreased the refresh rate to 60 fps and all is fine now, thank you for your advice regarding refresh rate.

and yes, it ihappened during the default landing sequenz with external camera.

a little advice and a problem is solved, sometimes it's so simple.

btw., is there a solution for the text issue in 4k resolutions?
i have to play in lower resolution because the text is way too small and hard to read in 4k.

thank you and have a nice day....

You need to set the in-game resolution to a lower value. That will scale the HUD.
Check the hook_resolution options in hooks.ini.
Set hook_autoresolution_enabled=1 and a resolution lower than 4k. 1920x1080 for example.

Or alternatively use the latest version of the hook_resolution, Jeremy added an option for HID scaling if I remember correctly.

Ok, I tried the latest version of Hook_resolution.dll, but the HUD scaling option only scales the HUD panels, the font size stays small.

however, i play with 1600x900 and my TV is good in upscaling and i can read clearly, I'm not the youngest anymore.

thanks for the help

Mhm, this sounds like a faulty install. Your best bet would be to reinstall the game and the mod.
Can you give me more information about what version of the game you are running?

[craigdwpa]

Steam. With 5.6.2 update. Started after updating. Worked fine with 5.6 update.

Have you downloaded the latest version?
The 5.6 had this bug which was fixed in 5.62.

You could try updating your hooks too
