*T¥RANITH* Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Holy f***! This thread is still going? I was the first one to post the EAX fix, w00t
Purple_Tentacle Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 the EAX disable fix DOES NOT work for me. Why wont they fix this game ?!?! bloody tip rats .
Purple_Tentacle Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 ok, everyone still having this problem, try this. delete the jk2mpconfig.cfg from your base directory. then try it. i havn't had a freeze yet. ( jk2mpconfig.cfg is for MP, delete the jk2config.cfg file if u have problems with SP )
Purple_Tentacle Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 AHHGHH forget that, i still have the sound loop error. this bites. i have tried: - deleteing the jk2mpconfig.cfg file - installing the original divers that came with my sound card (SB Live) - disabling EAX - reinstalling - disabling my sound card and using onboard sound nothing works, sometimes the game just exits for no reason, and now i get screen corruption occasionally as well, but it's usually the Sound Loop. every other game works flawlessly, my computer runs purrrfectly (for once in my life), and this game blows out every time. what garbage.
cgreer Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 It seems there may be more than one cause to the looping problem. After several months of frustration and trying every suggestion on this thread, here's what finally fixed it for me. New power supply for my PC. It seems that my cheap power supply that came with my cheap case (I had built my own computer) wasn't up to the job even though it was rated at 300W. The last 3 games I got had similar problems to Jedi II; hangups, usually with sound looping. I began to suspect power supply problems when troubleshooting the same looping issue with Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I bought a 430W Antec power supply, and every game I was having trouble with now works flawlessly, including Jedi II. Worked for me, YMMV. Chris
ShadowCode Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 Hmm. I have the latest dets, latest DirectX. Everything's updated. Windows 2000 SP 3. No updates left at WindowsUpdate. Bios is up2date. The game even worked before.. Now it locks up, and the sound loops. When JK2 starts up, it does the Lock'n'Loop during the intro movie. Pressing Escape or starting in Safe-Mode skips that. Then, when starting a new game it's back. LnL. After skipping THAT, the 'in-game' intro of Kyle and Jan works fine.. Until Mon-Motha appears. The game works fine from that point, until I try to load the quicksave (which it doesnt, because of the LnL bug). Oh, it's also quite odd that it LnLs in the Load screen. It constantly LnLs when you turn off GL Extensions. It's just.. weird. I did all the 'fixes', and more. Nothing works. JKII is the only game that bugs, everything else just runs stable and all. EAX is turned off..
Purple_Tentacle Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 yep, this game was rushed. all i can hope for now is that they take the time to perfect a starwars game that is based during the OT and lets you play luke from ANH to ROTJ and lets you choose if you are good or evil. the new starwars game from the E3 video looks FAB.
Athelstone Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=92925 This might just fix it.
Purple_Tentacle Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 damnit, i was just about to goto bed and i read this...now ima have to install the damn game and test it out... ok, this is it, you know, if THIS doesent work i'm done, you hear me, DONE !
Purple_Tentacle Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 it took about 20 minutes to freeze, which is quite a while for me. so i suggest everyone does try this out. just because it didn't work for me doesnt mean it wont for you my SP has always worked fine, its just MP oh well, thanks for the info anyways, i want to know ALL the ways people have solved this problem. keep up the good work.
Athelstone Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Glad I could help - hope you get it fixed forever ^_^
Chiles4 Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 I bought a 430W Antec power supply, and every game I was having trouble with now works flawlessly Excellent move! So few people understand the need for a powerful, quality power supply and for top-quality memory. I know alot of people are suffering from problems related to the JK2 software but I'm sure there are just as many having problems due to the generic crap they have inside their case. A couple of guidelines from a part-time systems integrator: - Memory - go to the Crucial web site, find your system or mainboard and buy the memory for it from Crucial. Don't buy generic or PNY memory or anything they sell at Best Buy or CompUSA. - Power Supplies - just make your decision and life easy by buying an Antec power supply of AT LEAST 350W, preferably 400W. Yes, there are much cheaper parts but you really need a quality PSU and memory. There are many other brands but if you're not an experienced system builder, then going with Crucial and Antec is most likely your best move. Infinite sound loop freeze-ups can occur on any system playing any graphically intense 3d game. As such, it doesn't make sense to blame the "typical" sound loop problem on the game. The best solution I've found is to get a beefy, high-quality power supply. I haven't been here in since God only knows how long but I pulled JK2 off my shelf as I just got a Radeon 8500LE to sort of replace my GF3 Ti 200. On this card, just as it did on the GF3, the game runs flawlessly. I just wish the damn guns would shoot straight!
Purple_Tentacle Posted March 29, 2003 Posted March 29, 2003 I HAVE FIXED IT :) :) all i had to do was upgrade to a GIG of RAM and purchase a brand new 80gig HDD. now ity runs fine....ecept i cant increase or decrease the brightness other than that i have solved my freezing problem, the biggest downside was the $340AU it cost for the upgrade. (and no i didn't upgrade JUST to play JK2 my old hdd died)
Courtesy Flush Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 I also freeze! BUT I found out when i freeze. Whenever someone besides me thrwos their saber and then i freezes right when the saber comes bask to them. when i do it nothing happens! it also happens when i dont see the saber being receved. oddly enough i also have the geforce audigy sound card and win xp
Dea Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 tried everything above didn't help me.. game runs normally for a while.. how long seems completely random, at times it starts continually freezing as soon as I start, and sometimes I can play like 20 mins before it begins.. wierdest thing is, once it starts, the freezing stops when I pull down the console, but when I put it up again it immediatelly starts freezing again.
Hekx Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 What memory do you guys have assigned to JKII? com_hunkmegs in the console. I personally have 180MB for JKII, while I have 512MB system RAM.
Dea Posted March 31, 2003 Posted March 31, 2003 figured out the game runs fine in windowed mode aswell oh well it'll do
Purple_Tentacle Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 "com_hunkmegs" is: "64" default: "64" i have a GIG of RAM and it doesnt freeze when i had 512 of RAM it DID freeze (i also had a different HDD but all else was the same) are you suggesting that we can alter this number and thus prevent a freeze?
Disp Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 seta bot_nochat "1" seta cg_noVoiceChats "1" seta cg_noVoiceText "1" I haven't had a freeze in botmatch since I started using these cvars. Add these to your autoexec.cfg.
Courtesy Flush Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Make this thread longer? anyway i have 1 question for everyone who freezes, This is DO YOU FREEZE WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DOES A SABER THROW. the freezing on my comp happens right when the saber hits the hand and it doesnt freeze when i do saber throw. and if this happpens to all the freezing people then we might be able to figure someting out by knowing what causes it. Bub i dont know im just wondering!
