Game Crashes...please help.

Marcus0 · 01-24-2002, 07:28 AM

The game keeps crashing on me. My system specs are:
Windows 2000 Professional
AMD Tbird 1200 MHz
ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR Video Card
SB Live! Value sound card
512 MB PC-133 SDRAM
ABit KT7A-RAID Motherboard
HP CD Writer, 8x/4x/32x CD ROM
Two 40 Gig hard drives striped with a game partition with 40 gigs drived E:
The game won't even run in safe mode! It will play anywhere from 5 minutes to 25 minutes (longest it has gone so far) and then simply repeat the last game sound a few times (classic freeze sequence), play a windows ding sound, and go black and crash to the desktop after I press Esc a few times. It has even totally messed up my computer requiring a complete manual restart a few times. I've updated all of my drivers, video/sound/motherboard. I've reinstalled DirectX 8.1. I've reinstalled the game about 3 times, and ran Defrag on my partitioned game drive...all to no avail. Please help me, if you require more info please post and I will respond ASAP. Thanks in advance!!

Do you have all the latest drivers? That might be the issue.

hello, new to this forum...
I got the same prob... game freezes at random points from 1 second into the game, to 10 mins.
The screen would freeze, the sound would repeat itself until the windows program error box pops up and i have to close MOHAA.
System stats:
Windows XP Prof.

MSI K7T Turbo Limited Edition (updated the VIA 4 in 1 drivers for this)

AMD Athlon 1ghz 266 fsb

768 mb pc-133 RAM

6 gig fujitsu HD (windows is installed on thsi drive)

30 gig maxtor HD (MOHAA is installed on this drive, and yes I have tried using MOHAA on the same drive as windows, didnt work.)

Diamond Viper V770 <non-ultra version> (with vrs. 23.11 detonator drivers, and yes ive tried it with the newest ones aswell)

Soundblaster Audigy (newest drivers also)

Pioneer 16x DVD, LG 16x10x40 burner

Any info would be extremely useful, I am at my whits end trying to make this thing work. (the only reason I have not given up on it is because from what I have experienced so far, it looks like an extremely good game)

Thnx, clemato

Try backing down on the video card driver version --- the latest are not always right for every system.

all2neat · 01-24-2002, 09:40 AM

OK, I have
AMD ATHLON 1.2GHz
512MB SDRAM
32MB GeForce 2 GTS
Western Digital 45GB HD
Sound Blaster live X-Gamer 5.1
TDK 16/10/40 CD-RW
Win XP Pro
the game does the same stuff to me. It may either be the athlon chip, or the game just don't like "NT Enviroment" very much

Arclight · 01-24-2002, 10:28 AM

Are you running NT--read the readme that came with MOH.

------------------

clemato · 01-24-2002, 10:59 AM

no, I dont belive its the NT environment...
I tried it in windows 98 SE as well, same prob.

Marcus0 · 01-25-2002, 12:05 AM

I'm not the only one with these probs =/

clemato · 01-25-2002, 02:00 AM

Arclight · 01-25-2002, 06:21 AM

Same here.. and I have no hardware conflicts, etc. XP Pro.

Arclight · 01-25-2002, 11:22 AM

Clemato:

Just grabbing at straws--would this make a difference--from the readme file.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

The following sound cards have known problems:
-Diamond Monster Sound MX 400
Requires turning off "DirectSound Acceleration" in the
driver. See the detailed explanation under
"Troubleshooting."
-Creative Labs Audigy
Currently hardware acceleration for this card does not
work correctly.

Same here...

I can play for (guessing) 15-30 minutes and my game will freeze up as well. I can still see people talking and such for a little bit. All the while I get the disconnected icon at the bottom of the screen. Then the entire thing eventually hoses up my system...full reboot.
AMD 1.3ghz Athlon
768mb Ram
64MB 3D Prophet II GTS
SB Live
Win2000

Most excellent game, but this lil issue is quite annoying for me...expecially when I got a bean on someone's head.

Shamen · 01-26-2002, 03:27 AM

Another thing I have noticed...seems to only happpen to me while playing online. I can't say that I ever recall freezing up in SP.
