Aegis Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I didn't have this problem until recently. Whenever I play online (specifically HFE Kandyland), and the map cycles to the next level, it waits until all but one or two players are ready, then the entire computer freezes. I am well above required specs, and never had this issue before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutek Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I have this one too, and I'm not totally sure what it is. I assume you have all the detail levels up at max? Try turning the texture settings down to High and 16-bit. I found this cured a lot of my headaches. I now only get it on particular servers, which is even more bizarre, and so I now have to avoid those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted May 5, 2002 Author Share Posted May 5, 2002 I'll try lowering the graphics, but I don't want to leave that server, as it's one of the only ones I play in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutek Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 Heh, this problem effectively bans me from EVERY gamesdomain.co.uk server, which is half the really really fast ones in the UK :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutek Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 As I have said elsewhere, because this problem wasn't there to begin with, and only occured later (after I increased the graphics detail levels), I'm willing to lay my bets on it being files getting corrupted somewhere. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to track down what it could have been yet. It's not the .pk3 files, as I have a copy of those from my original installation, and the dates haven't altered (tough perhaps I should run them through file compare... that might be enlightening). I haven't bothered with a full reinstall since there is nothing else obvious it could have been. I do have one supect: com_HunkMegs, I recall Raven said not to mess with it, despite rumours that it increased performance (very early rumours too). This might not cause a problem at lower detail levels, but when bumped up to higher levels it might cause instabilities in the textures (my previous prime suspect). Now if only I could remember to original value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
