Some mainstream problems and solutions, it is recommended to check out [[Files and Useful Stuff (Client)]].

== Intro movies not playing and white/pink main menu screen ==

This is due to a lack of installed media codecs on the operating system. (AVI/MPG)

== Clicking on new game crashes game ==

This is due to bump mappings not being compatible with current video cards.
* Go to settings menu and set bump mapping to <code>low</code>
* If using an Intel GPU, also set projectors and squad shadows to <code>low</code>
* Don't use the remaster mod

To make bump mapping usable again and get other fixes and quality of life improvements, download Republic Commando Fix: [https://github.com/SWRC-Modding/CT/releases here]

== Going to options menu crashes game ==

Happens rarely, cause unknown.

== Multiplayer browser not working ==

== Subtraction to matinee scene ==

Adding a subaction in the matinee scene, then clicking add can result in the program crashing.

<pre>
1. Have four interpolation points pathed around a cube.
2. Switch to matinee mode.
3. Select (left click) scene.
4. Select Action tab.
5. Expand sub.
6. Left click on ellispes.
7. Left click add.
8. program crashes
</pre>

== FluidSurfaceInfo crash ==

Simply adding a FluidSurfaceInfo from the actors list can crash the engine.

<pre>
1. Left click the Actor Class Browser from the menu tool bar at the top of the program. The icon looks like a chess pawn.
2. Left click on the plus (+) to expand Actor.
3. Left click on the plus (+) to expand Info.
4. Left click FluidSurfaceInfo to have it selected.
5. Within the 3D viewport right click to open up the context menu then select 'Add FluidSurfaceInfo Here' from the top.
6. Program crashes.
</pre>

== Disappearing FluidSurfaceInfos ==

<pre>
1. Open actor browser and select FluidSurfaceInfo in Actor → Info → FluidSurfaceInfo
2. Left click the hole you want to select to add your water.
3. Right click to open up the context menu.
4. Click Edit → Paste → Here and the FluidSurfaceInfo will show up.
</pre>

It may disappear so you’ll have to set all of the properties you want right then and there because once it’s gone, it’s gone. You can play on the level and the water will show up however I haven’t found a way to edit the properties yet after the actor disappears. You may have to write down the properties you want before disselecting so knowing some information about how the FluidSurfaceInfo property works would be helpful.
