Lockup on certain levels w/Radeon 8500...

Hi, folks -

 

Playing (and really digging) JK, but I'm having some pretty serious problems....

 

At the beginning of the second level (right after you input the code at the four-way bridge), my system locks up hard. The blue bar creeps across the bottom of the screen, but when it gets to the other side, everything just stops cold.

 

I had a friend give me a savegame just beyond that and everything was fine. I went into the next level and the one after that (the Artus Mine, IIRC), but when I got into the mine car on the electified track to go to the next level, it does the same thing! I get my stats and the blue bar grows, but when it gets to the end, everything dies. Can't CTRL-ALT-DELETE or anything...

 

Any idea what the problem might be? The game runs great, but there seem to be a couple of levels that trip it out and it's pretty annoying.

 

My system specs:

Athlon XP 2000+ (no O/C)

Radeon 8500

SB Live! X-Gamer (not 5.1)

512MB DDR RAM

Windows XP Professional (new install)

 

Current drivers for everything, as far as I know...

 

I'm GUESSING that it's something I need to tweak in the OpenGL settings, even though the game seems to play fine once it's working. Any suggestions, thoughts? Anyone with a similar system tell me what their OpenGL settings are, if it's working for them?

 

Thanks in advance.

I had the same exact problem. Turn gl extensions off, and it should fix it. I'm still not sure what gl extensions do, or what I'm missing, but it's not worth the headache.

 

I'm still seeing periodic freezing in a different situation - when loading a save game - but the end of level freeze was a worse struggle.
