Darth Wicked Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Alright, before the patch(not blaming the patch, it very well could've been something else) I could play JK2 Multiplayer without a problem in the world. Now on the other hand, it crashes mid gameplay. It could be mid-map, or after a map change as soon as I get in the game, I could be alive or dead. Or mid attack for that matter. I've disabled loading all new models when I die, and tried, same results. I've played with that enabled and not enabled. I've turned off EAX Sound, same problem. As a result, I've updated my video card and sound card drivers. Below are my computer specs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. AMD Athlon XP 2100+ ASUS K7V333 Motherboard 1GB DDR PC2700 RAM NVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4600 - 29.42 drivers Sound Blaster Audigy - Latest drivers Windows XP Professional Game Settings: Video - GL Extensions - ON Resolution - 1280x1024 Everything is set to High, I've also tried Medium. Trilinear, also tried Bilinear. And yes, not sure if it would be an issue, it is a real copy of the game, with the CD running. Running XP, it doesn't perform an "illegal operation" it just brings up the System Error dialog box that XP has, and asks if I want to send an error report. Thanks for any and all help on this matter. Running 2 dedicated servers, not being able to play put's a damper on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Wicked Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 Well, my Boss as well as our Hardware guy are working on the problem. I've contacted LucasArts Support, as well, I'm working on a few things. I'm going to see if MatrixCPA can help as well. I will do my best to find a solution to this problem, because I have to be able to play JK2. I'll let you know as soon as I find out. But for now, let's hope for the kindness of strangers.

teleguy Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I'm not sure if Win xp has a compatibility mode, but if it has try running the game in compatibility mode. You could also try the 23.11 drivers ( as recommended by Raven). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wicked Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 I tried teh 23.11 drivers, to no avail. Same issues, same problems. I also tried runn JK2 in compatability mode in Win98 and ME. Compatability mode didn't work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Wicked Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 Well, I found a solution for my problem, specific to my motherboard. First, I did a reinstall of Windows XP, straight over the existing installation, then installed the latest Via 4-in-1 Drivers from http://www.viaarena.com. After that, I reinstalled the 29.42 drivers from http://www.nvidia.com for my GeForce 4. Now everything is running beautifully again, with killer FPS.

Isildur29 Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Wicked - I'm wondering why that worked for you if the game worked prior to the patch with the same drivers? Hmm - I'm having this problem too - does it crash for you guys if you start a MP game too? It does on my end. I'm running XP with relatively recent via drivers on a Radeon 8500 with the new Catalyst drivers and the latest JO patch. No MP whatsoever, but SP plays fine. I uninstalled JO and installed using the default dir, ran the patch and played: same result. I uninsatlled, reinstalled but DIDN'T install the patch but I haven't had a chance to see if that really has worked yet. I did start an MP game w/ some bots, but I was busy doing other things so I couldn't really play, but it did sit there for 10 mins or so running aparently just fine. <shrug> maybe there is something in the patch that doesn't work with non-latest via drivers??

Robbiesan Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 DW, run dxdiag, save the results and post them here so we can have a good look at your config.. start > run > dxdiag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isildur29 Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 well, I got mine working last night. I had already reinstalled JO w/out the patch. I went and downloaded the latest Via's. I re-downloaded the patch. Boom, everything works again. So I'm guessing that either the first patch file I d/l was bad or maybe there was some conflict w/ the 1.03a patch and my old via's? not sure, but I'm mucho relieved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furinex Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Im running a P3, 1.1 GHZ, G-Force2go, 512 ram, XP, Toshiba Laptop, Same Crashing problem happens to me. Instead of an error, mine just... Freezes, I have to physically shut it off to continue using my laptop. Any Ideas on mine, since G-Force2Go dont really have driver upgrades (none that Ive found)..

Darth Wicked Posted July 30, 2002 Author Share Posted July 30, 2002 Alright, here's my DX info. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 7/30/2002, 12:00:55 Machine name: IRL33T Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) (2600.xpclient.010817-1148) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: System Manufacturer System Model: System Name BIOS: ASUS - 42302e31 Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2100+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1732MHz Memory: 1024MB RAM Page File: 175MB used, 1842MB available Primary File System: n/a DirectX Version: DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0810) DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 5.01.2600.0000 32bit Unicode As well, I've found some simple solutions to all of these problems. You need to uninstall JK2. Update your video card drivers, update your soundcard drivers, install JK2. Restart before playing. play, do whatever, re-download the patch. Install the patch, play. Dun dun dunnnnn you're done. If that doesn't work e-mail me. I've had to fix this a few times for customers. tim@ilangame.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
