Acrylic Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 Even with the EMI update patch, my game still freeze when i put up the menu by pressing F1 and trying to save....please....someone......help....
Benny Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 Hmm I dont have an exact fix for this so we'll have to eliminate potential problems. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card and perhaps sound card too. Make sure you have the latest DirectX installed (currently 8.1) State what Operating System, graphics and sound card you have too (someone may have had the same problem)
Acrylic Posted August 22, 2002 Author Posted August 22, 2002 Ok....I have Direct X 8.0 an NVIDIA RIVA TNT Graphics card and I dont know the sound card...but it is really good. I have a Windows 98 HP Pavilion 500 MHZ 128 MB RAM 20 GB HD thats about it....
Benny Posted August 22, 2002 Posted August 22, 2002 Make sure you have the latest drivers. Try changing the levels of directx sound acceleration. Start> Run> Type dxdiag Sound tab>move slider to basic acceleration Try that
Acrylic Posted August 22, 2002 Author Posted August 22, 2002 ok....i tried the basic acceleration thingy, but it didnt work...please, maybe some more suggestions and also, how do i get the latest drivers?
Benny Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 You should only need the Detonator XP Driver Assuming you dont have 3d glasses....
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 Im sorry... but it doesnt work...any more help please?
Benny Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Wait a minute when you say freeze, what exactly do you mean? Does the music keep playing? Does it go to a blue screen? Does it crash out of the program completely?
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 ok...the menu comes up and it freezes...then the music keeps skipping! please help...
Benny Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 I assume youve already looked here ? Have you restarted after installing those drivers? Also have you tried altering the 'gee-whizz' factors in the game? Ive even heard of problems being solved when ppl try a different installation option (eg small rather than large) but this is a last resort.
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 what the heck is a gee whizz factor...explain please
Benny Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 The options within MI4? Alter 'gee-whizz factor' - change detail levels etc.. Its in the in-game options EDIT: Sudden thought, you might not be able to get to these options if the game freezes on the options screen.
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 ok...i'm getting f-ing mad here...it must be that my game is weird cuz i but the gee whiz factors all to minimal...did all what you said, updated all my drivers and it still dont work....weird huh? help please?
Benny Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 For Gods sake some of us have to sleep you know. Be patient, you arent going to get an answer immediately.
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 I am....I just am really royally pissed off right now not because of you but because my game wont work.........im not depriving you of your sleep, but i just want help asap. thank you. AC
Benny Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Email Lucasarts then, here Let me know what the ultimate solution is when they reply
Acrylic Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 Ill tell you what they say once they reply
Benny Posted August 25, 2002 Posted August 25, 2002 I forgot the most obvious thing. Try running in direct3d instead of opengl or vice versa.
Acrylic Posted September 8, 2002 Author Posted September 8, 2002 they replied, and said all the stuff you said, but im lazy now, and ill try and run the game in open gl cuz i had it in direct 3d...ok...ill post back 2morrow
