Which mission is this? In the objectives screen, the game will tell you the name of the mission. This information will allow us to more thoroughly investigate the problem. Also, make sure your using autopilot approach, using other autopilots in LDS might possibly mess the game up, although I have not witnessed it.

Its the mission “Badlands” and i have no specific destiny. I use the autopilot approach only until i reach a station.
Is it wrong to use the navigation to the coyote system after leaving the basis? I’ve tried this and the navigation from a L-Point near the basis. In both cases I died…in act one i flew from the basis to alexander or blackeye without any problem. If I do the same now I will always blow up by the star…
Badlands is the name of the Act, but I think the mission is where you have to find help around the cluster. It is possible to manually fly to an L-point, so that may help. Other things to try are downloading the appropriate save from the saves section of the Independence War 2 downloads section (make sure to have a backup of your existing saves), and to reinstall the game (again, make sure you have a backup of existing saves, mods, and custom config files).

I never had this problem at all – I’ve never died because of the autopilot, that’s what it’s for after all.
Are you playing this on new windows versions or do you have a non-mainstream antivirus maybe?
When digging through the GOG forums I came to the conclusion that various security software like DEP on Windows or some antiviruses can prevent the I-War games from running properly. They just block some of the code by default and we end up with things like the well-known empty-menu bug and so on.
I’m sure that could also wreak havoc on some of the calculations ingame. Maybe try running it in compatibility mode for XP, disable the DEP and your antivirus. There are instructions in the help section here.
If it’s not that, I’m out of ideas.
