Hilfe! Medic! Problem with ET //crashing//

[Naughty_Nurse]

Hallo all. I'm Naughty_Nurse a.k.a Lorena*oO?! You may know me from FA NQ ( sometimes I also play at your jaymod server)

About 5 days ago I got strange problem with my ET. When I press few times ALT (bind for check out stats) or TAB ( bind for check out teams) ,sometimes when I open my console my vittu ET is just crashing. I've never got something like that.

It's not pb kick or something - it's error from Windows (I use Vista) ,that blablabla ET.exe doesnt work.

Scanned my OS a few times - no viruses.

Reinstalled my ET - still got that problem.

I also changed binds ( alt for 'x' ) - same problem.

 

2 days ago I played Oasis map - pressed all the time those buttons - nothing wrong happend. But when I was playing next map - after few times when I used alt - got crashed.

To be honest - I wont to format my pc. That's because I'm writing here.

HILFE! MEDIC!

I hope somebody could help me

 

Cheers :*

It can be from flood protection, but im not sure that flood protect corresponds to stats, teams, etc, unless you have it as a special bind. Might wanna try running ET as an administrator. That could help.

Which version you playing from ? 2.55 or 2.6b?

[gigabyte]

Running ET as admin usually fixes problems like these.

[Naughty_Nurse]

My ET is running as an admin. + with servis pack2 as an Win xp.

Version 2.55

I think its à video related crash try update drivers and update Your os manually.

[IntenT-]

90 percent sure without searching around this is going to be video related.Answer these for me please and i'll try and help.

 

1. Is it only Enemy territory that crashes.

 

2. What video card and drivers are you using.

 

3. Do you play any other games or use applications that use alot of video memory/power.

[Naughty_Nurse]

First of all I would like to thank you all for trying to help me

 

1) Yes.

2)I'm using NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT. I wanted to actualize my drivers , but it said me that I've newest one. But now I see : date of driver - 2007-11-06 oO

Well, is it means I need to update new ones ? :/

3) Yes. I suppose - New Wolfenstein , I also play RTCW-MP (oldie one <3 ) and no crashes.

Thank you for the information, first I highly recommend updating your video drivers and then using windows update. Vista is crap, so when you get the extra money, I would upgrade to windows 7 (or have someone help you out with finding it cheaper).

 

Here is some links to video drivers for your card and os. I will link 2 different ones. The first will be the offical driver for your card. The second will be a modified version of the same driver, that should increase your fps by a little. Which you use is up to you, however I will recommend to use the modified version. Since I don't know if your running 32 or 64 versions of windows I will give you both sets of links. Hope these help, if not let me know and we will continue to work on this problem.
