Wabbits Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 I updated vid drivers in hopes to kill the horrible laginess in sound and video in the 3rd level (mines). I try to run single player, and right after it goes through all the yellow text black background console stuff i get this: The Exception Priveleged Instruction. (some Hex numbers) Click OK to exit or Cancel to debug Help? I upgraded to the 28.32? Whatever is on the Nvidia site. Then I tried the 28.90 same thing. And if you cant fix that, at least tell me if you can fix why the Mines screw up so much, the first levels didnt. I have tried the fastest graphics mode, the best looking and everything in between, no go. SPECS: 450 AMD K6 II 352 MB mem GeForce2 Pro SB Live Value

If you have a win 9x based system, check your monitor and make sure it is installed IE does not read unknown. If it is not installed, install it.
Wabbits Posted May 3, 2002 Author Posted May 3, 2002 that was a no go. If you were saying that to try and fix the error, that didnt help. For the Artus Mines and if that fixed that, i dont know i still cant get past that error
Wabbits Posted May 4, 2002 Author Posted May 4, 2002 Multi gets the same error. Safe mode SP and MP gets the same error. Anyone got an answer?
Sutek Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 Wild guess is you might have some background program interfering with JK2. Have you tried killing everything off and running it? Alternatively there's something about Win2k and XP not installing driver versions correctly, and requiring you to extract them, select Win2k compatibilty mode and installing then (or something like that, I have 98SE myself and don't have this problem). Check other posts if someone else watching can't give a better explanation.
Wabbits Posted May 4, 2002 Author Posted May 4, 2002 Tried closing everything else, no go. Could some expand on the second part of sutek's post?
jjcw66 Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 Dude, I have the same problem and totaly different setup: PIII 450 448mb ram win2k voodoo 5500 dx8.1a 40gb hd soundblaster live w/ latest drivers I also scoured the posts for similar issues and came up with only non-working workarounds posted by every geek and their brothers. This is a problem for the developers and producers of the game to get to work on... good luck there. I've seen similar new fps games hum pretty well on my box, but this one and Max Payne gave me similar slowdown issues. Maybe there is too much texture info and sound for a last generation processor and video card to handle... but to be honest with you, I've seen better games run faster. Nope! Aint buyin it! (The game, or the excuses?) HEHE I guess thats one way to rationalize it.
Wabbits Posted May 4, 2002 Author Posted May 4, 2002 Frankly Right now just screw the frame rate fix, i just want the damn error to go away.

Were you logged in as administrator when you installed or tried to run the game? That could be the problem . As for sutek's solution you can find a step by step guide here: http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/win2k_compatiblity/index.shtml You should also use this driver : http://205.158.109.140/Windows/23.11/Win2K-XP_23.11.exe rather then the newest drivers ( theres a post from Raven about the drivers somewhere in this forum) .

Wabbits Posted May 4, 2002 Author Posted May 4, 2002 Admin always BUT the 23.11 drivers got rid of the error. Thanks Now.... why wont the SP game recognize the save files i copied back in?
