Lockups fixed.
« on: January 19, 2000, 11:21:00 PM »
PII 350  Monster 3D II 12m  Soundblaster awe64

I kept getting random lockups everytime I tried to play.Reinstalled everything,updated drivers,pulled hair out ect.I only had lockups playing A/H.

I didn't think my problems were heat related as suggested on this board but I was wrong!
Hooked up a simple table fan and pointed it at my box as a test and I haven't had a lockup since!I guess the cool graphics really
heat up my tired old 3d board! :O)

Looking forward to finally being able to play.

Thanks. I D/L the game the first or second day it came out I think.Played off and on but could never play more than 1/2 hour or so.
I like the game the more I play.Also a lot of fun seeing some old friends/enemies.
