System Freeze on Arena Exit
« on: August 02, 2004, 08:08:42 PM »
I can't give much detail, but since Patch 7 I've been starting to experience a complete system freeze upon exiting the main arena...

Acutally, I think the system might still be alive in the background because I occassionally see the mouse cursor if I move it to a corner... The system mouse cursor, not the AH one..  But AH will not release the video.

Alt-tab, CNtrl-Alt-Del etc don't help..  

I have left it alone for as much as ten minutes and it never recovers, requiring a hard reboot.

Just curious...

The next time you land and are ready to exit MA, do an Alt-F4 and see of you can exit completely to desktop.

Also, are you running AH2 in the same resolution as your desktop (i.e. both set to 1024x768 or whatever) ?

I'm not talking about exiting the game... I'm just talking about going out to the Arena list.   I have tried it with res set same as game and without   - froze both times.  

Haven't tried Alt-F4 since I wasn't trying to exit the program.

I understand that you were only trying to get back to the arena list. Please try to exit MA (and the game) with Alt-F4 and see if it hangs.
