MannyC Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I can't seem to get past where i talk to glottis in the garage below the office... i get about 3 questions into it and it freezes. I've done the patch, run in 98 comp mode, changed all the settings i could change and nothing. I tried the launcher and it says max_open_files it also says the patch isn't installed but i install it, it says the it's already done. I don't know what else to do, i've ran this game a hundred times without a problem before now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du Man Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 can you get to the main menu while it's frozen? f1 or esc I believe? Might be a hyper-threading problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MannyC Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 no menus, no alt tab, no nothing... computer completely frozen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Du Man Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 of course Crtl-Alt-Delete still works right? When you restart and run the game it works just fine until you reach Glottis in the garage right? What system are you using? Specifically, what OS and video card? I'm a bit confused by what you said happened with the patch. When you reinstall the game is it telling you that it's also installing the patch? Is the launcher telling you the patch is installed after you install it? Some suggestions I can give is don't rely too much on the 98 compatibility option, it doesn't seem to worker for most people, so just stick to the launcher. Or if you are running xp or vista, try following the install advice in those threads, or have you already been following those threads? Also try to research up on what this max_open_files means.

MannyC Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm running xp sp2, and and i just switched to a 6600gt gc. The game itself doesn't tell me anything, the launcher that i downloaded says the the patch wasn't found even though it was installed... the downloaded launcher also says the MAX_OPEN_FILES error...I don't get it i've run the game through with no problems many times, all but the first 2 on xp. i'm in the process of rebuilding an old computer to see if it'll run.

MannyC Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 actually ctrl+alt+del does not work, the computer completely freezes and forces a hard restart... I just wanna play. If i bought one of the new euro releases off of ebay would that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
