Title: Computer freezes on blackouts?
Post by: PooP on April 29, 2000, 08:08:00 PM
After being in the game a while, my computer freezes. It seems that 60% of the time it occurs on a blackout.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Can you post your system specs?  CPU, Vid card, DX version, etc.  Thanks.

I don't think I have the same problem as you, but tonight I locked up on a redout for the first time ever.  Truthfully it wasn't a full lockup, AH just stopped responding.  I was able to alt f4 out and everything was ok.

For your problem, you might first try Dx 7a.  It is generally superior to Dx 6.1.  (You do have 6.1 NOT 6.0 right?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )

7.0a is available at www.microsoft.com/directx (http://www.microsoft.com/directx)

What Bloom said.  You need at least 6.1 at 7.0a is recommended.
