thanks for pitching in with your observations.

Here's why i suspect it's the 1.1.1..

Mission is built.. host #1 runs it fine in 1.1.0..

same host installs 1.1.1, hosts the same mission, and total slide show for the host, and lag for everyone else.

same host switches to backed up copy of 1.1.0.. and the mission plays just fine...

When it happened to 1 host, we thought it must be something either corrupted or he didn't install properly..either way, a problem with his files.

Then it happened to a second host with another carrier mission.. exactly the same scenario.. had run the mission before in 1.1.0 with no problems, then the second host installed 1.1.1 and that mission went to slide show and lag for everyone.

Then a third host installed 1.1.1 and had the same problem.. haven't seen him since.. but it was just a day ago.. so i am guessing he's reinstalling his game.

I also have the 1.1.1 and was able to run one of the carrier missions i have, not one of the ones that was having problems.. BUT I have just received the mission that was problematic for host #2... going to try hosting that mission from my machine tomorrow night. I'll let you know what we find out.

It very well could be just a certain map, or plane set, or anything else mission specific.. maybe it will run on my machine.. If it does, then i'll look more at their machines and installations for a root cause.

I thought it was a machine specific problem until i saw the problem repeat on 3 different machines.. but running the same mission that caused a problem on one of the other machines on my computer (that is able to run at least one carrier mission well) should give me a better idea of where to look.

thanks again.. i'll let you know what i find out tomorrow night.
