Alpha,

Yea, it's a strange situation. I really shouldn't make any speculations at all because I have no clue what could be causing my issue.

As I stated before, I don't have any 'problems' with Solomons maps/missions. I can play/host any Solomons mission as well as use the Solomons map in the QMB. The only issue I have (had) is actually LOADING a Solomons map/mission into the FMB. This is where my game would freeze before the map would even load. I would need to exit to my desktop and shut down the game from there.

As far as having a 'problematic' computer, I guess that's always a possibility. However, consider the fact that I have no such issues loading Solomoms maps/missions in HSFX 6. As you know, To create a working version of HSFX 6, you need a clean install of 4.11 and then add your HSFX mods/files on top of that. So basically, HSFX 6 is just a souped-up version of 4.11.

Yet, my 'Solomons' issue started with stock 4.11 (and now continues with stock 4.12). Common sense may tell you that a 'problematic' computer would cause this issue to be present in both stock and HSFX versions. However, that is not the case. This is why I keep reporting any findings I come across. Maybe someone can one day come up with an answer.

In my own little world, I'm happy that I have at least found a workaround. A 'workaround' does not mean that the problem has been identified. It's simply a temporary solution to sidestep the problem until it gets correctly identified.

I know I was kind of pointing to the fact that MY Missions folder was so large and maybe that might be a clue. That seemed like a logical assumption, but after looking at YOUR missions folder (which is almost 4 times larger), maybe size can be ruled out. However, maybe there is something in MY Missions folder (but not in YOUR Missions folder) that may be the culprit. Then again, I used the same Missions folder with my HSFX 6 and I had no problems there.....so confusing.

I've run out of things to say, but thanks for at least being concerned.
