Emperor lockups caused by C&C Renegade

Procyon · December 27, 2002

which windows is better? 98 or ME?

Apollyon · December 27, 2002

98 SE is probably better but if you dont have SE then definitely go with ME.

Can you be sure that Emperor will no lockup anymore after that?

Why Doc Nyar can`t fix this problem? If he can`t help me, who can? :'(

Nyarlathotep · December 30, 2002

Before you format, have you uninstalled Renegade and re-installed EBFD (and updated it to the latest patch) ? If so, does it still lockup ?

Procyon · December 30, 2002

Yes, I have done it a lot of times. with the latest drivers and directX. But it still locking up.

Nyarlathotep · December 30, 2002

What you might want to try is to upgrade to directx 9 and see if it helps. Somehow Renegade has screwed up a shared file. Unfortunately, I can't tell which one.. Once you've upgraded, check (again) for the latest drivers for your hardware.

Procyon · January 2, 2003

How can I know which was the file?

Nyarlathotep · January 2, 2003

You mean the shared file ? Well, if directx 9 solves the problem, it's hard to tell. Just look in your dxdiag and look at the files listed. I doubt you'll ever be able to tell which file it was, if it get's resolved.

I installed directX and Emeror worked fine in the campaign, but it locked up in the first level in the Guild Spaceship in the Atreides campaign.

I don`t know if it lockups in Skirmish.

Nyarlathotep · January 5, 2003

Do you have any programs running in the background ? Press ctrl-alt-delete just once. The only things needed there are "Systray" & "Explorer". For all other programs, select them and click end task.

Then try to see if it changes anything to the problem.

Procyon · January 6, 2003

It still locking up.

Nyarlathotep · January 7, 2003

Did you turn down all ingame graphical options and especially turned shadows off ?

Procyon · January 8, 2003

yes, it don`t lockups, but I don`t want to play with low options

You say that I must play with all the low options for ever?

Oper90 · January 8, 2003

Depends on your system graphics and if you want to play games that lag. Even with the 128k GF3 card that I use and others with faster systems than mine, all play the game online with grahics set on low with shadows off. When you try to move gobs of troops, even with those low settings -- lag will occur. But most players will ask if your settings are low with shadows off before starting the game and they will not play with anyone who has settings on high.

The game demands a lot from your computer. You might want to try and turn them up a bit to see how it goes. But whatever you do, turn shadows off !

Procyon · January 8, 2003

But I have a better computer than Emperor needs.

Gobalopper · January 8, 2003

That doesn't mean you can have all the graphics turned up. Shadows especially are known to slow the game down a lot.

Procyon · January 9, 2003

10 minutes ago, Emperor locked ups in the ATREIDES level, where you must capture an abandoned refinery, with the lowest graphics options !!!! >:( Why that happen to me?!?!?!?!?!?!!! I don`t know what more to do!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I will sell my soul to satan to make this game works!! I also used a noCD patch and lots of other stuff but it still locking up!!!

Nyarlathotep · January 9, 2003

And shadows was off ?

Gobalopper · January 9, 2003

Err ok don't sell your soul... Have you tried running tests to see if something else is wrong? When I first got Emperor it would always crash and it was because I had faulty RAM. Do other games that are like Emperor, maybe Warcraft 3, lock up as well?

Procyon · January 10, 2003

The shadows were off!

What type of test are you talking about?

I have more than 300 Mb of RAM.

And other games like WC3, Empire Earth, WW3, Army Men RTS, etc. work perfectly!!! And Emperor worked perfectly, without any problem, without lock ups, without crashes BEFORE the 1st time I installed C&C Renegade.

Gobalopper · January 10, 2003

Something like 3DMark:

http://www.futuremark.com/products/3dmark2001/

Run the tests there and let me know if it crashes. Before you installed Renegade how much had you played Emperor?

Procyon · January 11, 2003

I got Emperor and Renegade at the same time, First I installed Emperor and played the Atreides campaign.

Then, few hours later I installed Renegade.

At the next day, I liked to continue playing the Atreides campaign, but it locked ups. I uninstalled Renegade, but it was still lockuing up.

What is "3D mark2001"? I must pay for it? I can`t pay, because I don`t have a credit card.

Gobalopper · January 11, 2003

There is the download.

Procyon · January 13, 2003

The test didn`t crashed.

What more can I do? To increase or decrease the game speed could help? Or the resolution?
