sketch5050 Posted April 7, 2002 Posted April 7, 2002 My first post From what it sounds like you have the resolution of the game set higher than what your monitor can handle. This can easyly be resolved a few ways. Plug in a different monitor, that can handle a higher resolution. Go into your game directory and look for jk2mpconfig.cfg (or jk2config.cfg for single player). Once found save a copy somewere else, outside of the game directory (just incase ). Now that you have all that done, open the config file with word or wordpad, and look for seta r_fullscreen "1". Change it to seta r_fullscreen "0". Now this should start your game without fullscreen. Look for the options inside the game, and lower your resolution. (I suggest 800*600). Now that's all set go back into your config file, and change it back to seta r_fullscreen "1". After that everything should be all fixed.
-=$LY=- Posted April 7, 2002 Author Posted April 7, 2002 sorry i didnt explain, 1 minute im playing the game next minute screen is blank! its like someone is turning off my monitor! mid game!
Zodiac Posted April 7, 2002 Posted April 7, 2002 I first thought it was ur screensaver or windows-stand by mode.. but u said u turned them off, so I can't help u anymore lol. Are u sure u turned em off? otherwise: buy a new monitor?
-=$LY=- Posted April 7, 2002 Author Posted April 7, 2002 my monitor is pretty crappy but its a bit extreme buying a new monitor for one game (even if it is the best game ive played since MOH:AA) i think ill wait and see if i get any more responses before i fork out a great deal of cash for a new monitor"!
-=$LY=- Posted April 7, 2002 Author Posted April 7, 2002 welll it looks like i aint gonna get this fixed as the bloody moderators have moved my post to the "quiet forum" if you were me would you post a problem in the forum with 3000 posts or the one with 53000 posts, HMMMM nevermind!
TraDogNight Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 I have the same problem. It's only happen to me a couple times though. I have had quite a few game freezes though. Athlon 900 Radeon 32 DDR 768 RAM Sound Blaster Live 5.1 (We have this in common...)
-=$LY=- Posted April 9, 2002 Author Posted April 9, 2002 hmm we both got 5.1 live? but can a sound car affect a GFX issue? hmmm? im going to check my device manager to see if i got any conflicts!
MuskOx Posted April 9, 2002 Posted April 9, 2002 My Friend has the same problem. We have not resolved it yet. If anyone has info, that sure would be appreciated.
