LauraW Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I have no idea why. I just got this game today, I just started playing it (as in, right after the beginning cutsecene) and I try to look in the inventory. It freezes. I have to restart my computer. I tried changing my resolution, but that didn't do anything. So I go to this forum, hoping to find something. I downloaded the patch, and I reinstalled DirectX v.6, but those didn't help either. Any ideas?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraW Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 I'm running an almost-new, home built computer at 1.7 ghz, with about 500 meg of RAM. However, I think I discovered the problem, yesterday. Examining the disk, I found a large scratch (No, wait, a gouge) in the middle of it. This made me particularly mad, as it's brand new. Amazon.com will feel my wrath!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Yes. Amazon do indeed suck. I ordered a CD and a Maths text book. They sent me a scratched CD and a Physics text book. ¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall Guy Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 yeah the scratch is probably the cause, let us know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovefool Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 Recently I have installed GF again on winXP SP1 Eng, GeFOrce2MX, DX9.0 and having a freezing problem. I haven't applied a 1.01 patch yet, and I wonder it helps. This games had worked a few years ago on Win98 machine. Does GF run on WindowsXP ?

Burge Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 GF does indeed run on XP (I would install the patch if I was you), and CPU Killer helped me through my troubles. Hooray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantastico Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi, my game also froze up when I went to the inventory, only I don't have a gouge in my CD. I tried downloading the patch, but that didn't seem to solve anything, so now I'm stuck with a saved frozen game. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 The easiest thing to do is to start another game or load another saved game. I'ver never been able to unfreeze a frozen game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwur Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi Laura, have a look at this: http://www.ninth-world.com/giFAQ.php HT problem. It fixed my problem on constant game hanging, I couldn't even get out of the room properly without this, or at times couldn't even move. gwur!
