Troubleshooting
Problem 1. Disk chugging black screen of death when loading mission
- You've breached the polygon per sub-object limit. Reduce the polygon count or split the offending sub-object into a number of smaller lower polygon count sub-objects.
- Your ..pof is not the right kind. I think some versions of COB2POF produce FS1 .pofs by default. You have to load it into FSMM2 and save it as a FS2 .pof
Problem 2. Invisible faces in FS2/FRED2
- You have non-flat faces. Use Polygon Draw to split them into flat faces.
- Your faces have too many vertices. Use Polygon Draw to split them into faces with less vertices.
Problem 3. Strangely moving textures in FS2/FRED2
- You have non-flat faces. Use Polygon Draw to split them into flat faces.
Problem 4. The shards of death in FRED2
- You've breached the polygon per sub-object limit. Reduce the polygon count or split the offending sub-object into a number of smaller lower polygon count sub-objects.
Problem 5. FS2 crashes in game when I destroy (part of) my ship
- You did not tell a sub-system which has live debris that it will rotate and give it an axis.
