Lockups lockups and MORE lockups

[kappa]

Dudes? I am at the end here. My computer is still freezing at ANY time during play. On the pizza map it is ever 20mins or less. I have reinstalled Dx8.1, Vid drivers, sound drivers, Defragged, sent numerous films and emails to support@hitech..., tried lowest resolution, highest resolution, reinstalled the game (numerous times), even tried sweet talking it. AH 1.10 Hates me. Tell the AH gods I'm really not that bad. I play other VERY intensive online games and do NOT experience computer freezes. I have been plagued with these troubles everysince 1.10. Even after a fresh Windows install AND a new video card. My gawd man, in all my days of online flight sims, this is the worst ever! I need more help if I am to pay for something unplayable.

Win98se
celeron@850(good cooling)
390megs ram
gf3 64mbddr (29.42 Det drivers)
Diamond mx300 sound
ch control setup
cable connect
Dx8.1

PS. plz make the pizza map go away... I mean, can we vote on it?

try setting your agp to 2/1x rather than 4x?

[kappa]

My board only has 2x graphics I think.  Ok, but I think I might be on to something here. I actually figured out how to turn down sound acceleration now. Think I did just have it turned down on the record side and not the playback? Anyway, I turned them both down to where they say its runnin on emulation I think it was and I have not had a freeze up in a few flights. Can someone give me some clarification on what this means? New drivers or new card?

btw, what mobo do you have?

i used to have an ecs mobo, i forgot what model, and it used to frequently hang in AH, other games they still lock-up but not that much.  the technicians say that the mobo doesn't like my gf4 ti4200.  they changed my mobo into an asus and its working ok now.

Did you try setting back default FSB speed i.e. not overclock?

[kappa]

I use an Abit BM6 board... its an older board but works well... I thought I might have had it fixed after installing the newest Det drivers, 30.82, but just had another game freeze. I have not tried unclocking yet, but I will. My cpu runs at 39deg pretty much all the time, so I feel like I have enough cooling.. dunno though

im running
 Compaq P4 1.5
        Ram 512
       cyber gold usb
       Geforce 4  128
        Win xp
 I connect via verizon DSL, but that's not the problem the game freeze's even when playing off line, I posted in bug report but no help yet, I like the game but it's becoming unplayable, the old verisios worked fine, the problems started an upgrade or two ago.
Any help???

[kappa]

Well, I cleaned my cpu fan and pretty much my whole computer of dust and such. Thought that I might have fixed it, but have since had 2 more freezes. Both in 262s, go figure.

Is there ANYONE who works for HTC that reads these post? STILL looking for a solution. Others, it seems, have this same problem but still nothing from HTC that I have read. Anyone, Anyone?

[straffo]

trying to help a bit ...

do the game freeze happen also off line ?

[Skuzzy]

You CPU temp is only part of the issue when overclocking.  Have you tried to run at stock speeds yet?

What FSB are you running at?

[Dingbat]

39C under load or at idle?>
