Dune 2k keeps crashing

[jamie gracia]

Hi Guys, I have installed dune 2k from gruntmod but have the following issues:

 

1. Sometimes when I launch game i get msg that dune 2000 has stopped working.

2. after several retry s it does launch but then freezes or just comes out after flickering screen.

3. Windows firewall ask me to allow dune 2000 i click allow but is this normal?

4. I have re stalled many times but same things keep occurring.

5. I have tried the f and g fixes but no help.

I dont know if it is relevant but I keep getting problems with internet explorer hanging and cannot fix it tried many times.

Any help appreciated

Sounds strange... Just to be sure, run it as admin and allow it in your security programs

Also check if your PC is still healthy.

Do a 'chkdsk' on your drives (google for instructions)

Check if your components don't get too hot: remove dust (from GPU,CPU,PSU,etc.)

Make sure your PC protection is up-to-date and you don't have viruses etc.

Up-to-date drivers might perhaps also make the system more stable.

Thanks for replys,

I have tried most suggestions tho...

Done chkdsk and  SFC/ scan reported no problems, drivers and pc protection all up to date. 

Tried running as admin as well without success. I will try  remove dust (from GPU,CPU,PSU,etc.) and let you know.

I have noticed the CPU usage goes very high when Dune runs, could this cause the crash? Any ideas why??

I think I do have a problem tho cause like I said before Internet explorer keeps crashing, I use Chrome now but when I go on control panel etc 

keep getting msg Internet explorer will close programme. Tried everything possible to fix but cannot find soloution.

Very frustrating!!!

All internet explorers should not interfere with the Gruntmods editon.

 

I think it is either your firewall, or your virus scanner. That happened to me some weeks ago. You might want to try to shut them temporary off, if only for trying to play the game.

 

But it could also be that you are trying to load in a high resolution.

Now, on some machines, this works, yet you get a very small window in the upper left corner.

Other machines however don't have the required video card, this means that the game immediately crashes.

Perhaps loading the game in the standard resolution will help.
