Hi, I recently installed empires v2.1 and in every game but one that I have played I have black and yellow sharp shapes flashing across my screen and then a few seconds later the game crashes recquiring a restart. Does anyone know what is causing this? I sometimes get this problem in Dystopia but not as often. System specs below. windows xp Pentium 4 2.8Ghz (@3.6 but problem persists without oc) 1 gb pc2 5300 ram (not much) 8800GT (latest drivers) P5N-E sli (mobo)
Recently updated your drivers? Temperature okay? Download RivaTuner to get a hold of your temperatures.
With previous games I have never seen temps over low 50s at stock so assumed it wouldn't be temps. I tried setting my fan to 100%, tried to twice to play, once it crashed at sending client info (which has happend before) and the second attempt it crashed after a few seconds of play with repeating sounds (which has also happend before). Both black screened me and recquired a restart so I was unable to recover the logs for the temperature but I doubt it is that. Oh and I recently installed new drivers to try and fix this problem so I have had the problems with both old and new. Does anyone know what else might cause this? Just tried downloading the source sdk base - orange box incase it used that, didn't help also tried turning off all the firewall spyware programs etc didn't hlep either. Ok, I have now found one server which I can join and have none of the above issues, but only one server. The mushmachiene server. If any one knows what may be unique about this server that means I don't crash with it pls say.
My Pagepool memory usage never went over a 150, the sound only looped on crash every now and then, there was no limit to pagepool memory shown in my boot.ini but it worked!!! Thanks for the help btw This sorted the problem a few days ago but I have only just been able to pull myself away from the game to post here. Thanks.
