SpawnEntities and other similar errors

[Y_T]

I posted this in another thread already but not getting any action. Are there only a few ppl gettting these errors? I am NOT (yet) freezing or locking in any way. Sound is great (so far) but this is not acceptable:

My experiences with this problem :

 

I have been getting the errors referred to in this thread at the end of levels and when trying to load a saved game . I have tried many combinations and have basically just discovered that no matter what, it re-occurs after a reboot. The key to that statement is 'reboot'. I say that becasue it works fine after the initial install all night long..until the dreaded reboot. Then whamo! Here is a list of things I have done:

- First install works great. (With purchased media!)

- Install NOCD and after first level cutscene...error to main menu.

- Remove NOCD and put back original jk2sp.exe...no error.

- Next day, continue from last save. After level end cutscene. Whamo!

- Visit Forum. Decide to reinstall. Problem goes away.

- After next reboot...craps out again. This time on save game load.

- Visit Forum. Create "backup CD" and install from that hoping to avoid the "copy protection corruption durring install" theory. Seems to work..Play all night long. Next day (yes, after reboot) crash..man this is getting old.

- Reinstall. This time from legitimate media and from Pioneer DVD instead of Toshiba CD ROM. Play a few hours. Quit game. Start again immediately, loading last save. Loads Perfectly.

- Now the real test..reboot, restart, load save..."SpawnEntities: no entities". Whata shocker

 

So the question is, does this help anyone smarter than me diagnose what might be going on? Since this is getting long as it is I'll wait to see if anyone (hello: LucasArts) would like system specs and or more details. This is not related to any particular level since after each level the same thing happens and now in the middle of a level as well.

 

Still love the game

Tonight I will try to find out of replacing only certain files (exe, pak) instead of a complete reinstall helps any. Whata crock!

 

Here are the system specs:

 

XP2000+

512 DDR

G4 4400

28.32 and 27.70 (current)

Soyo Dragon Plus

SB Live Value (35.20 driver)

XP Pro

4in1 4.38 made my system COMPLETELY UNSTABLE so I removed them and everything runs great (except of course JK2).

I am also getting this error and it is pissing me off. I have not tried reinstalling. I will try this tonight. I am experiancing the issue when finishing yavin_swamp and trying to start the yavin_canyon level.

 

I read the previous thread about having to use the cheat:

 

map <mapname>

 

this does not work either. I get the same error when yavin_canyon tries to load. I have submitted this error message to the support team at lucasarts but have no heard back from them. Nice support. I hope the reinstall works.
