ET crash/freeze! Help

(ricknet) #1

Hi all,

I’ve recently reinstalled ET after many years and it’s still an awesome game like the time I was playing tournament on Clanbase :smiley:

The problem is the game crash/freeze everytime I’m playing it(sometime after few minutes,sometime after 10 or so). No error message just game stuck and I can just push reset button of my desktop :frowning:

It’s really frustrating as my PC is much more than enough to run ET(and don’t happen with any other games, only with Battlefield Heroes…)

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel’s Core 2 Extreme QX6800
Nvidia GTX 275 (latest drivers 266.58)
6GB RAM DDR2 800mhz

I tried to set only 1 core using the affinity tab in the task manager and also set single display performance mode for the mixed gpu acceleration in the nvidia settings, with no results.

Please help with any suggestion if you have experienced similar issue.:slight_smile:

THanks in advance!

Nobody can help or redirect me to a more technical forum?
I post here from console in case someone have suggestion:

for me the game log looks ok. check maybe windows event viewer

(Nail) #4

methinks it has to do with OpenGL extensions, don’t have a nVidia card about so I can’t check control panel

(ricknet) #5

thanks for your suggestions
at the end, it looks my sound onboard is making crash as Punkbuster told me there are some issue with Realtek chips…
someone was able to fix it or I can olny buy a new sound card disabling the sound board in the bios?

thanks in advance
