Re: Lockup issues! Post here please

[Nyarlathotep]

akamsg, first download and install the latest drivers for both your sound card and video card. The download the latest version of directx (8.1) and install it. Please do this in this order. Do NOT install directx 8.0 over 8.1, cause it'll mess up the directx files.

When done, run dxdiag again and run all the tests. If all works, try to run EBFD again..

akamsg, I just didn't know Compaq released 3.2Ghz computers already.. or did you overclock it yourself ?

"Doc" Nyar...

[Guest akamsg101]

ya,ok.. the cpu is new... and how fast can the driver files be outdated...??

[Guest akamsg101]

ya I did, it is actually 1300 mhz

[Nyarlathotep]

Gob, could you try to find out if there's a way to access those threads (if not deleted)..

I'm a 1000% (no, not a 0 to much, it says thousand percent :) ) percent sure the problem of Radar has been posted here before..

"Doc" Nyar...

[Guest akamsg101]

lol... (just a joke...)

[Nyarlathotep]

The latest Nvidia driver is 28.32. Make sure you download these..

Drivers are outdated the day they come out (bluntly said). As new software comes out, new hardware with it.. There are many options of cards that are there, but not able to be utilized by the software. This is why new drivers come out, it enhances hardware capability..

[Guest akamsg101]

I've deleted the cards out of the cpu through the device manager and when i restart it automaticalyas installs the files is that ok? thankyou...

[Guest akamsg101]

sorry, but can you tell me where i can download the lastest driver files or do they come through windows update?

[Gobalopper]

I will see what I can find Nyar. :)

[DjCiD]

work? my gosh what tz are u in Im in ETS and is almost 03:00am (ur probilay saying 0300 what are u sill doing awake? am a nite owl)

[Nyarlathotep]

I live in Holland (CET). I'm 9 hours in front of the board time :D

"Doc" Nyar...

[Guest Takar]

Well, Doc, it ran alittle smoother with +W, but it still locks up. It's just the single player missions it does it in though. I haven't tried multiplayer, but the skirmish runs fine.

[DjCiD]

lets go 1 more round *hey at least im not flaming Nav. hehehehe)

so when i post this its 09:45 where u are cause its 03:45 here :D

[Nyarlathotep]

Yes.

"Doc" Nyar...

[Nyarlathotep]

Try to re-install your OS over the current one..(be aware, you might need to re-install programs, like office, EBFD when you do this)..

btw, you did download the Nvidia 28.32 drivers right ?

"Doc" Nyar...

[Nyarlathotep]

It seems to make a huge difference.. Try playing some more and if it doesn't lockup, you've found your answer..

"Doc" Nyar...

[Nyarlathotep]

Akam, this is where you can download your modem drivers:

Let me know if the game runs !

Nyar "Doc"

I am noticing that this not only has the most recent additions than most topics in the forum but it also has 37 pages as of 03-27-02. So that is why I am gonna try here. If you want I can send you my diagnostics from dxdiag Nyar or I can find you anything else you might need. I just want this to work. I had this game running on another system but have since upgraded and run into the freezing problem I have read much about in the forums. Seems to be a fairly popular problem. I know how the game runs as it has worked for me in the past but I would rather not run it on the old system seeing that is has been gutted to fit the new one. Its specs are as follows:

AMD Athalon 1.2GHz

512 MB DDR RAM

Win2K Pro

2 20G hard drives (one as NTFS for my Win2K OS, the other as Fat32)

NVIDIA Geforce 3 Ti 200 video card

Creative SBLive! Sound card

I have applied all the most recent updates for my bios, vid card, sound card, monitor, DVD-Rom, and anything else I might have found on-line that matched my system. If you want I can e-mail you my file with the info from the dxdiag testing. Just seems to take up a lot of room on the forum. I also did not look through the whole thing because it is 37 pages and quite frankly, I dont have the patients to look all through it. If there is a solution I should look at in here point me to it otherwise I will look forward to a response.

[Nyarlathotep]

Dave, just post your dxdiag output here. Make sure you run the tests before you post it here.

Could you also let me know what you upgraded on your system ?

"Doc" Nyar...

[Guest DaveK1981]

Ok, here it is. As for the upgrade, I did it to everything. Basically I built a whole new system. New processor, motherboard, vid card, sound card, network card, 1 extra HD, and case. In fact there are only 3 things that stayed from my old system, the floppy drive, one HD, and the DVD-Rom.

Here is the file info:

Dave, I know if issues between VIA chipset and SBLive cards.

Have you updated your VIA drivers ?

Another question, do you have an onboard sound card/video card ? If so, is it disabled ?

The 512mb, is it just one single module, or does it consist out of two 256mb ? If it consists out of two 256 modules, try to remove one and then start the game. If it doesn't work, try removing the other (and putting the first one you pulled out back in). When you do this, make sure you're grounded properly.

If you haven't done so, make sure you have updated Win2K with the needed service packs..

Keep me updated !

Ok, I have just updated the via chipset again with the latest drivers. I do have an onboard sound card but it is disabled. I had a problem with that in another game. As for the memory I have only one stick of 512MB DDR RAM. And I have checked and double checked the windows updates to make sure I did not miss something. I am gonna try to play again so keep your fingers crossed.
