We Live For The One We Die For The One

yes i have the 1.30 patch installed.

It only locks up on the net, when your slecting who youwant to be.

Move the mouse alittle and its hard locks, somtimes you don't even
have to move the mouse just locks right away.

If your quick, you can just press 1,1,1,1,1 and hope for the best,
works most of the time.

And when your in the game you can change, which seems to be much more
stable, never locks up their ?

Well not alot than i can remeber.

Any 1.40 patch news :)

thanks.

Hi We Live For...,

Hardware issues can cause freezing, black screens and lock
ups. Also, your drivers should always be kept up to date.

Try the following steps one at a time to try and resolve the issue.
I hope this helps. Please post back if you have any questions! :)

1. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a
Checklist of Solutions at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk

2. Dust your fans, vents and components using a 1/4" paintbrush
and a hose vacuum. Use compressed air for hard to reach places.
Set a housefan to blow cold air into your case to expose an over-
heating issue.. If it works add more fans or replace defective ones.
Use this Mainboard Monitoring Utility: http://mbm.livewiredev.com

3. A faulty power supply can cause STOP errors, random reboots,
and black screen lockups. One way to test for that is to remove all
extra devices, network cards, extra RAM sticks, modem, scussi card,
sound card, unplug CD drives (if not needed to verify CD), and then
try the game again. If the problem is solved look into a 400 watt P/S.

4. Test your RAM using: http://www.memtest86.com/memt30.zip
after you extract that zip file, click on the README.txt file for the
instructions on how to create the boot floppy to test your RAM.

Hi We Live For,

You're welcome. :) If you like, there's some software checks
you can do as well, just to be sure it's not something overlooked.

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

5. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:

I also installed KX sound drivers for my Blaster live, their
alternative drivers, still locks up :)

Also installed Omega drivers for my 9600 Pro still locks up.

The Catalyst driver have been updated to 3.9 ill try that and see if
that fixes it.

Even updated the latest via drivers and it still locks up HA HA.

I realy think the only thing that will work is the new patch for the
game.

Dont ya just love technology.
