Title: Map lock-up
Post by: zorstorer on October 14, 2003, 11:42:14 AM

Every once in awhile while trying to close the map using the esc. key my computer will lock-up.  Not just a minor program lock-up, this is bad enough to have to hold the power button down and do a total reboot.  Seems to happen more while in a manned ack or ship gun.  I am running (don't laugh) a P3 700Mhz, 128MB Ram, Vodoo 3 16MB Ram, and Win2k Pro.  You know I almost dont mind the 20 fps some times :D

Hey -

Spend about 100 clams and update your video card.  I used to run a p3 700 with a gf1 annhilator pro card (32 MB) and averaged 40-60 FPS.

Probably will help with your lockups as well.

I will be updating...but I don't have AGP on this computer...so I am just gonna wait and get em all done.  Just really wondering if this happens to anyone else.

Don't feel bad I'm runnin a t 500 Mhz on win 98. :)    But I did just get a radeon 9600 pro.   frame rate still at 20 or so, must be cpu limited. :)

Yes flayd, you are very CPU limited.  To get the most from that video card, you would need a 1.8Ghz or faster CPU.

zorster, your video card is probably the source of the problem.  I should tell you, it will not be able to run AH2.
