Annoying freeze problem

[Beus]

Hi @ all, I have an Athlon XP 2100+ with 512 MB of RAM, a Radeon 8500LE card and a SB Live Player 5.1

 

Game runs pretty fine but freezes with sound loop when I or someone else uses the push or pull forces. Problem seems to be with that "bubble" effect these forces cause. If I do these moves without moving my charachter game doesn't freeze, but if I strafe or move in anyway while the bubble is showing... freeze. Weird!

 

I have tried every single command and I was able to fix the problem by setting the "cg_renderToTextureFX" variable to 0, both on MP and SP.

 

Game runs flawlessy now but push/pull don't make that effect anymore (they are like the jk2 ones).

 

I was wondering if somebody else has this problem and how to fix it. Thanks for reading.
