Hey everyone. I've been playing Elite Force with a clean install of the GOG version. No mods, but I used the efconfig.cfg to crank the resolution up to 2.560 x 1.440 widescreen as people have been suggesting in some threads. Everything went swimmingly until the beginning of the level called "stasis 2" in the save/load screen (the new area right after getting the stasis weapon, very early on in the game).

I was able to save normally in any other part of the game up until that level, but once I'm in "stasis 2", pressing Esc or F3 (for the save menu) just throws me back into the main menu. No save option, no resume button. When I tried to play further into the level without saving, the game also crashed to the main menu on its own at one point, without me pressing Esc or F3.

I've now changed the resolution back to something the game supports out-of-the-box and that has fixed it. Just thought I should bring it up in case other people experience the same issue.

Did you increase the "seta com_hunkMegs" setting when you increased the resolution? I know others have reported the ESC key crash to menu if they didn't also increase that.

IIRC, I changed the two resolution entries, one entry for FOV and some entry where I had to put in "-1". The post where I got the fix from was probably missing the hunkMegs bit at the time I read it, thank you for pointing this out.
I had the same issue with a supported resolution 2048x1536 but lowering to 1600x1200 fixed it :shrug:

Hello
Same here . More than 2 304 000 pixels cumulated lead to imposibility to go to save screen an get out of level. BUT
increase "seta com_hunkMegs" and everything solve.

You're a GOD to me. I played this game since 2000 over 50 times, it's the game of my life and never solve this. Now i just I put "seta com_hunkMegs" to 100 and everything solved. I'm in debt to you.
