So this is the debug on the b30 map. It works:

This is the debug on the a30 map, sapien crashes

That last line is googled, some guy solved it by making hek have desktop composition enabled, and compadibility for xp sp2.

I've followed his footsteps but I'm not getting the same result. My result remains the same.
I have fresh installs, tags are fresh.

I've opened a30 in the past, so this is OMG.

I simply need a map to use the scarab ai. Sidewinder not tall enough, scarab bleeds through the ceiling.

I've gotten a30 to work 2 weeks ago, so what should I do. I plan to make an epic battle including a scarab driven by ai, destroyed using the explosion from the nuke weapon in longsword, and mimic the collision of the elephant , reduce movement speed so you can board the enemy scarab , kill the driver, without falling through the vehicle itself. add covy to the passenger seats. The full works.

I can use any multiplayer map. But infinity, even, the rough terrain, etc. bloodgulch, rough terrain. And I can't get extinction to extract correctly. Rough terrian makes you fall through, or bounce off the enemy scarab.

Help please, if you can, any suggestions- I've tried dual core trick, run as admin, im vista
