Mycrofte Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 My computer started locking up while playing ET. I did a search but didn't find much. I did a complete re-install up to 2.60b replaced my graphics driver but still does it. I have to power down and re-start the computer...

f0reseen Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 do you have windows 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichrist Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I have a similar problem, but my ET never freezes, it actually crashes. The whole game just closes completely and returns me to my desktop. I receive no error codes, PC functions normally. This happens most of the time at the end of a map. It happened a few times when I hit space to tap out. And I can ALWAYS freeze/crash my ET when toggling between ALT and CTRL score menus in game... I usually have a few browsers open while playing, I'm going to try playing with them all closed next.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycrofte Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I never run anything else while playing. Running the older version, it would crash to the desktop once in a while. But this locking up Windows just started and happens every time I play. I've even tried leaving the game early and it locks up on the last exit screen before getting to Windows...

Did you try to update PB with pbsetup.exe from evenbalance? What OS you´re useing? What PC specs? And try to look at Task Manager and ET console, maybe there are some hints what the game\PC is doing before crashing, also take a look at administrator tools and event viewer from control panel. maybe it states some system errors?

Mycrofte Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I haven't tried updating PB yet. But there is no way to get any information when the whole computer locks up. I have to hold the power button and restart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycrofte Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm running a 1 GHz computer on Windows XP. I tried the PB auto setup/installer and it did some updates. It is running better and longer but still locks up if I play more than one or two maps. Today, after the second map, I exited and it locked up at the final credits but CTL-ALT-ESC brought it out. My lag seems to be cut in half as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
