Can anyone help me! after about 20 minutes of JKII play (either MP or SP) my monitor goes into standby, no other game dose this (and i play most Q3 powered games MOH:AA, Q3 and EF and i also play H-L mods and C&C renegade) i have turned off monitor standby in windows power mode properties and turned off screensavers BUT im still having this problem!

 

im using newest detenators

i have a Geforce 2 64mb

athlon XP 1900+

My first post :D

 

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 :D ). 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.

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? ;):p

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"!

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...)

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!
