Klown Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 hey im new to the forums and i need some help on this glaring issue. when i boot up JO and Load the save game it loads excruciatingly slow(even with low graphics settings). then when i die and have to reload from a save (or checkpoint) it just locks up at around 25-30% and stays there. i have left it to load excess of an hour but i just doesnt move. the only way to continue is to close JO, reboot it and then load the game again. when i die again i have to repeat that process over and over which is painstakingly frustrating when combined with a high risk of accidentially falling to death and long load times. another problem im having is that there no movies in single player (although the opening movies play in multiplayer). its just a black screen with glitchy sound. heres the specs of my computer p3 1gig 256 meg sd ram 40 gig hd (19 gig used; recently formated) pioneer 8x dvd rom 64 meg voodoo 5 5500 agp (latest drivers) soundblaster live platinum (latest drivers) i think thats it. any suggestions are greatly aprecciated.

GeneralLee Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I have the same exact problem. AMD AThlon 950 mhz 256 MB SDRAM 16MB Voodoo 3 It'll load fine the first time and it'll restart levels fine, but otherwise i have to restart JK2 to load a second time. Haven't gotten any quickloads to work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klown Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 well at least i know im not the only one... i also notice you also have a voodoo card... now i know why the movies are not playing. its just like moh... but at least the readme of moh says somthing about it but im still stumped about the loading... perhaps it is also conected in some way to the video card? mabey the hd is giving stuff to the video card and its like "what the hell is this? am i sposed to do somthing with it?"

ph_ln Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 I have a voodoo 3 and noticed the same problem and was about to send an email to support. HOWEVER, you can actually get the games to load by changing ANYTHING on the graphics option page. I usually change the texture quality between High and Very high. Click Apply, the screen refreshes and games load normally. I cant get the movie cutscenes to work though! HTH Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klown Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 well its a start and less annoying than rebooting the game. thx for the tip. and im gonna email raven about this too... considering that it said nowhere (site, box, manual, readme) that this would happen, they should update their readme or patch it so that other people (less patient people) do not fall into this crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimChance Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Same issue here. If I reboot, I can load a saved game when I first startup. But after that, the system locks up when loading a saved game. (and no opening movies). But the multiplayer has been working great? Even the opening movies in multiplayer are visible? But not in single player.

Klown Posted April 1, 2002 Author Share Posted April 1, 2002 same here. multiplayer opening movies start. why? i dont know but if there were some was of figuring out why they work in multi and not in single then perhaps it could be duplicated so movies work in single player too ... always feel like im missing somthing when i dont see those movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
