Random Crash


(Anaxagoras) #1

I play ET with ET Pro 3.9.1 on Windows XP and the game crashes at random. Sometimes after 10 min, sometimes after 2 hours. The game just freezes without any further error message. Speaker is on a constant beeeeep tone.

As far as I can see its not a problem with the cpu temp.

My spec’s:
Pentium 3 2 Ghz
1024 MB Ram
Audigy 2 ZS
Radeon 9600 Pro
120 Gig HD (NTFS)

I would be most gratefull if anyone can help me with this

This used to frequently happen to my roomate and I a lot. More so to him than myself but for us it was just one of those things that would happen for like a week straight and then never happen again for a month or two. Sorry if this really isn’t much help but, it’s almost as if ET is going through “phases” for us… sometimes it just likes being a bitch.

LoL
Well its bitching around now for about 2 months, and thats tiresome (especially on servers that can’t do a XP-Save)

A mate with a Radeon 9800 Pro had the same problem. He fixed it by doing the following:

  1. Updating motherboard BIOS to latest revision
  2. Lowering AGP setting in BIOS setup (I believe he lowered it to x2 or x4)

Good luck.

Yup AGP is probably it. I had that prob with my old card and RTCW. Lowering acceleration fixed it.

a friend of mine had much trouble with 'AGP fast writes"
