jk2 freezes in white screen

[NewGollum]

Hullo !

 

I've got a problem:

 

When I start JK2 the white screen appears and then my computer freezes. I don't know what to do!

 

my aps:

 

pIII 450 Mhz

256 MB RAM

Win XP Pro

Geforce 2 MX (latest drivers)

enough free space

16-bit desktop color mode

direct X 8.1

 

please help me!!!

[Mr. Porkins]

I have the exact same problem, with the exceptions of a PII 450 and XP Home edition instead of Pro. Microsoft just released a "Signed" version of the nVidia drivers, which I downloaded, and I assumed would fix the problem, but i have the same results. I'm sure this is an Open GL issue, as my other Direct X games (Civ 3, for example) run perfectly well on my system. Anyone have any ideas?

[j3i)1_/\/\4574]

Same prob, but with me it only happens after i patch. I had a full install, worked perfectly, when i patch, the first time i start it up it crashes to desktop. Second time I get the above error. Ditto with third, fourth, etc. I was able to ctrl-alt-del out of it and snag this from the console:

recursive error after: LoadTGA: colourmaps not supported

this happens with every set of video drivers Ive found, both betas and official. I have also tried simply obtaining the assets2.pk3 file and adding it to the original un patched base folder with no success. The same problem, but with a different error message occurs with SP games.

[NewGollum]

hello!

 

i solved the problem. i just took an older detonator driver

for my geforce 2 mx driver version 21.83 at http://www.guru3d.com.

and i downloaded a geforce tweaker an guru3d.com too and

change the opengl settings to FAST.

 

cu,

I was also able to solve the problem, but I did it by running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 98/Me. It seems to be a Windows XP problem with Quake III engine games.

[Xenicol Squirts]

I wish this were true. I reinstalled win98 back on my computer. I have had many problems with my GeForce3 and WinXP along with not being able to play JKII. I was able to play JKII for a while after I installed it. But about a week or two after that, I have had this white screen freeze problem. I can still play Quake3, so I know it's not the Vid card. Looking forward to a solution.

[Vacendack]

I had to reinstall XP.. I still get that white screen, but the game loads fine after a moment...

[Elegy]

I suspectt he white screen is pretty standard, or some variation of it. The screen is dark crimson on my machine, but I burned a copy so my brothers would quit bugging the **** out of me every time I start the game up, and on their machines the screen is white. Haven't had seen the locking up problem and either of the 4 computers in this house though. But all of em produce some sort of colored screen, so that part at least seems pretty standard.

[Vacendack]

the "screen" seems standard on Geforce cards.. I never experienced it on my Voodoo5...

 

I think the reason that the game hung on my PC was that Xp wasn't installed properly.. I had some problems earlier.. but it's working fine now.. I'm using 28.32 reference drivers (Creative 28.32 earlier)

[rpeAMP]

Hmm this is weird. My friends computer is having the same problem with Win2000. He also gets an error in the background that says something like "Jk2sp.exe has generated an error in JK2sp.exe and will be shut down. An error log has been generated? Any ideas? Where would this log be stored on the computer?

 

His specs are:

 

Abit Kr7a-133 (VIA chipset)

Athlon XP1800+

768 PC2100 Ram

geForce 3 Ti200

 

I run Win2000 and have absolutely no problems with any Quake3 engine game. My specs:

 

Intel 440BX chipset

P3 866MHz

256 PC100 Ram

geForce 3 Ti500

 

Are we looking at maybe a motherboard problem here?

[Reiver]

First, if you are running some kind of on-board sound, that is your problem, you will need a new sound card. If that is not true, then close out every freakin' program in the tray bar in the lower right, especially if you have an iWheel or iFeel mouse program on.except required programs, ie: Virus Scan etc. If that doesn't work, then tell me. It happened to me, but that solved the problem.

[Raven_Xwing]

this semms to be a problem that has three things in common------

1. win xp

2. geforce vid. card

3. Jk2

My system is Atlon xp 1700

geforce 2 card

running win xp.

This is a known problem between Win xp and Geforce or nvidia based cards. I have had this problem before with other games but not that often. It seemed like when I was running Ver. 1.2

The game ran fine since 1.3 all the freezing problems came on.

What happens on mine is I will be playing fine then the sound starts repeating and game freezes up. Ther only way to get out of it is to reboot. DOH!!

This is really pissing me off some times I can play for hours at a time, other times I am lucky to last 5 minutes.

I think Microsoft or nvidia will have to come up with a fix

[Demolisher]

I get this sometimes too, along with the freezing during the game.
