selaim Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Ok, I very rarely post to a forum but this situation is unbearable now, so I am asking for some help on this matter as all the other posts on this topic have failed to provide me with a solution. Here goes....The game scince the 1.03 patch has started to crash and lockup on a VERY regular basis. Sometimes I even get the JK2mp.exe error and high gamma while the game is loading still, and forces me to re-boot. Mostly it just crashes whilst in game, which to say the least..IS REALLY ANNOYING..Every other game that uses the Q3 engine (MOAA Quake3 Wolfenstein) are running fine on my system as I expect them to, but JK2?..Hmmm Not so..This must me a opengl issue in the Patch code that has buggered something up.? Athlon1600+, Gigabyte GA 7DX+, 256 ddr ram, SB Live, Ge-Force 2 I have re-installed windows 98 4 times now complete with all the latest drivers from Nvidia (28.32 and 29.42) and a few Blaster drivers for luck..no joy..! Reformated the hard drive 3 times and set up bare bones install Win98 Nvidia drivers (23.11 and upwards to the latest 29.42) SbLive drivers from 28.8.1998 up to the current SB Live drivers) Mouseware for my logitech Mouse..(no problem here) My onboard audio is DISABLED..and I have Upgraded my Bios as well.. Guess what? The game still crashes at the loadup and STILL locks-up in Mp game when I get in. This is on a completely new install including virus checks and formating the drive. Im lucky if I get to play for 5 mins like some peeps say before the game dies, usually when Im about to lob some Padawans Head off..heheh Is there anything else that I can try that I might have missed? like messing with the Soundmegs or rates? Im sure this has nothing to do with the underlying problem though, but I might be mistaken(Hopes so)..I also read something about starting windows in a different mode or something that might help(not sure about that one). Also read about turning of models when u die? Whats that all about? So guys..Can anyone of you budding Jedi's Help me out? My skills are getting rusty real quick ..TIA Floating-HoloGram (Master Jedi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillemann Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 hi selaim have a look at this thread: http://64.246.44.70/~lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62695 i guess our probs are similar... i assume the continous crashing is related to the the via 686b southbridge which is used on our motherboards. i might be wrong and i won't bet my a$$ but at the moment i can't figure out what else could cause the crashing. maybe there's somebody out there who knows better and can tell us...
