Nothing should cause a crash like that with the troop transport.
You might have to test in a vanilla save game and see if it happens to you there, or on other planets in RE.

i don't know of a way to wipe the AI's from the map, but you could try "ai off" to atleast shut them all down, then see if you can approach the ship(if you can), blow it up, then turn the "ai on".

one thing i would try, my machine being somewhat older, is take my graphics settings down to the absolute minimum, atleast to see if i could get over this hump. lower the strain.

you might try, assuming you can, leaving the playfield. atleast the planet if not the sector, mesperon being a starter planet i'm not sure how far along you are in this game, but hop over to somewhere else, even one of the moons, and come back. assumes you have a vessel that you can still actually get to(not in the base you can't approach)

wait, im sorry, it hardlocks your computer.?!

you having problems with any other applications? i mean thats an oddly specific occurence, but thats sometimes a computer problem, not a game problem. Unity has its own handlers to catch that kind of stuff(not saying it can't or doesn't happen, though it "shouldn't"... yeah right), and windows occassionaly catches it when the game doesn't, so its something to consider

i would atleast do the usual. Hard disk scan. full virus scan. check for dust build up.

if you fly towards the troops transport with the console up, do you see any messages before the lock up?*unlikely i know)

Are you playing on a server? If you can, try deleting the troopship - use "ents" without quotes to identify the ai ship and "destroy id#" where id# is the identity of the ai ship. You shouldn't have to get super close to id the ship. Maybe this will let you get back to your base.

Thanks guys. I just went into god mode and took everything out with the debug rocket launcher and changed the area of my base where I was getting the crash. It was scary, but it seems to be stable now. I don't know what exactly it was, Zirax troops glitching through the steep mountains or the troop transport? I dunno, but it seems to be fine now. Thanks

No, @Qestancio I'm having no other problems with my pc, or programs on it. Its a pretty beefy gaming/video editing pc that I keep very secure, as I am pretty knowledgeable about cyber security.
