buffer overrun detected- game crashes when I use modded maps

Post by ryannorris »

I've downloaded a few maps for swbf and I put them into the right addon folder and everything but when I go to play the game an error message comes up and it says "buffer overrun detected" and then the game crashes. Can anyone help? I haven't installed any patches for the game yet, could that be the problem? thank you anyone who can help me out

Patches ARE advisable to download...but I dont think they are necessary for maps.

Is it this folder:

x:\Program Files\Lucasarts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\AddOn
where x is your hard drive letter

and have you extracted them correctly, and put the correct folder in the AddOn folder?

Patch 1.2 is REQUIRED to install new maps. If you create the addon folder yourself without the patch, you get that buffer overrun error.

Install 1.2 patch. Check 3dgamers for the file.

You can also have a look of some other servers hosting this SWBF's update there...
