csilver Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Often, while loading a save game - when the progress bar is close to complete - the game will freeze. The screen remains showing the progress bar, and the hard drive light becomes solid and un-blinking. Ordinarily, at this point - even when loading a save game for the first time after running the program - the save game will finish loading within seconds; however, when the error situation occurs, the game has been left for ten minutes or more and no change becomes apparent. When the error does occur during load, a reboot is necessary (the game does not respond to alt-f4, alt-tab, or ctrl-alt-del). Most recently, when I rebooted after a game freeze, the game corrupted my save game, and Windows' chkdsk utility automaticlly deleted it from the system. Between this and the gl extensions problems, this is too much. I haven't had this much trouble from a game since the DOS days. At least the gl extensions problems can be solved by turning it off. But I've yet to find a workaround to the loading problems. Anyone else seeing this problem, and have a way to work around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
