Game Locks ?

FLooDY · 02-26-2008, 11:25 PM

well i installed it today and as i was playing with a few 12th and 9th TG guys my game would lock right up for like 15 -20 secs then i would play a bit then it would lock ? then i would get lost connection to the server ? im running it on vista 32 bit and i have a new rig so i have the requirements ? any ideas ?

i just posted on FRONTLINES PC HELp and it looks like there are a couple of guys with 64bit vista having the same thing ? i wonder if this is a issue with vista ?

I have the same symptom with XP. I don't have a high end system but above minimum specs. Every so often it locks up out of the blue, both SP and MP.

as far as I know its a 64bit vista issue. I hard a fix right now is to turn your system to a low setting. I think I was playing with you tonight Floody. I'm running 64 bit Home Premium with 4gb of DDR2 800 (oc'd to DDR2 1066) RAM so I just turned my settings to low and really didn't have any issues aside from this game hates alt tabbing.

well i just got finished playing for a bit , funny thing is that i have to run with everthing on low ? i have nvidia 8800gts card and all i can run is low ? i have a quad core 2.4 with 2 gig of ram ? shouldnt i be able to play on high ?

all I'm giving you is a "temp fix"or a "workaround". you think I enjoy playing on those settings with my rig.
E6600 C2D cpu Oc'd to 3.32ghz, EVGA 8800 GTX 768, 4g of DDR 800 (DDR 1066 Oc'd). You can play on high as would I. But I prefer stability before beauty. My guess the true fix will be in the first patch or there might be an official fix for it.

Anyways it was just a suggestion.

I have not had the game lock on me while playing, but I have had it hang on the server menu, and Game Options menu. It did not last just a few seconds either, it just died. I had to manually end the process in order for it to close completely.

Another bug I saw was while playing the single player while in a vehicle the tip menu would come up and say " to change your view press ". Yep it did not tell me what key you use.

Over all its a nice looking game, and I look forward to seeing a TG server up and running for it.

OH, I am running WinXP Pro, AMD dual core, 3800+ 2g ram, and a 7900gt 256; Game settings are on medium, have not tried to bump them up yet.

thx raptor i will see what the patch will fix , i just get ticked when i spent all this cash on a new rig to enjoy games full graphics and i cant ..

yea I know. Its a pain in the butt but. My guess the first patch will be about the same time as they launch the PC demo. So what 2 weeks? Just hold out a bit. Beta probably knocked out a bunch of bugs (dunno I didn't play it) and like usual some of them (including this nasty one) leaked through. It might take em a patch or two to get everything right. Sadly its not like the days when I first started gaming and games were launched in their "finished" state.

Well I don't have the game, but in the Beta when the foliage was turned up it would cause similar pauses. Try turning you Foliage setting all the way down (assuming there is a foliage setting in the retail version).
