Im gonna blow up this effing game!

[Krayzie]

So, as the title states, fairly frustrated. Went to go play ET and it works just fine. BUT anytime I try to change resolution, or close game with /quit or use /vid_restart it locks up my computer and I get a black screen. Any button I press doesn't do anything. Only way to unlock my computer per say, is to restart my computer. If I don't touch any settings its just fine. What the hell is wrong with my ET now?

 

 

 

[jaie]

do writecfg command and post cfg here, and

ET version, processor, ram, graphics card + driver version, operating system, operating system resolution, monitor, antivirus

 

1st impression is you have a latched video setting which is set to something your graphics card, operating system or monitor can't support,

or your antivirus,

 

Are you in windowed mode?

Computer is:

i5 3570k

MSI 660TI card

16GB Corsair DDR3

128GB Samsung SSD

1TB Seagate HDD

ASRock Z77 Pro3 Motherboard

 

 

Windows 10 Technical Preview, but Windows 7 64Bit prior

 

Can't get a config because if I get in came there is no way of me getting out without having to restart my computer. If I alt+tab out of screen it locks it up as well.

Also same results when trying to run as administrator

[jaie]

can't you /quit without it restarting?

[Krayzie]

Oh that time I didn't have to restart my computer, great.

can't you /quit without it restarting?

But no I couldn't even /quit without it locking up my computer, until this time.

[DijitaL]

I have had the problem before and ended up reinstalling Et like 5 times trying to get it to work...that didnt work lol

 

try and delete after backing up your config:

seta com_maxfps "43"

seta r_stencilbits "0" unsafe
seta r_depthbits "0" unsafe
seta r_mode "4" unsafe

seta com_zoneMegs "24"

Set

seta r_fastsky "0"

to

seta r_fastsky "1"

and

seta r_ignoreGLErrors "1"

to

seta r_ignoreGLErrors "0"

If those don't work, them replace the original cfg and try with a different cfg.

 

Set your seta com_maxfps "43" an even number! like 60 or 80!

 

 

_{Hopefully something works, and it doesn't break further. Ugh ya I am not responsible for any damages that occur upon taking my advise! But its worth a shot}

_{*edit - maxfps line added}

[Krayzie]

Not sure why it's capped at 43. I thought I had it capped at 333... will for sure try those tomorrow. What Jaie and I tried with configs didn't work at all. /quit locks up my computer with a black screen as does changing resolution or vid_restart.

Windows 10 Technical Preview, but Windows 7 64Bit prior

Did you have the same problem with Win7 ?

 

This sounds like something that you should report to the Win10 crew.

 

I wonder if your graphics drivers are Win10 compatible. How does COD run?

[Dest!Ny]

If you want to manipulate your customheight and customwidth you need to have /r_mode -1

[Aniky]

Have u tried updating the GPU drivers at starters? Load the default cfg and vid_restart, see if the problem occurs again, or just do a r_mode 6 and vid restart to see if different resolution makes any differences.

[Krayzie]

Did not have the problem with Windows 7. And CoD is running just fine, currently on 1920x1080 with no issue. For a minute while talking to Jaie I was able to /exec default cfg and video restart as well as exec krayzie.cfg and vid_restart with no issue. I do have the most up to date driver for my card. Not sure the support for Windows 10, but has no problem with CoD, Borderlands, or anything else I play.

Well the simplest solution would be again to maybe dual boot on Win7/8 and test if u get crash there, if the drivers are the same as there, then its obviously something triggering freezes on the win10, would be wise to even wait a bit before using win10, at least towards the point when it comes more stable or try if compatibility settings with Windows 7 do any difference.

[jaie]

does anyone know what causes and how to fix a greyed out target box?

[Krayzie]

Well I tried exiting full screen mode today and it froze, restarted at Windows updated. Now I am able to play windowed and vid_restart,

[Krayzie]

Okay... Now I am able to play the game. But Connection Interrupted is flashing across my screen, although it is a 170 ping, it normally wouldn't happen. Also, my mouse wanders all over the screen without me moving it. I'm gonna go roll in a corner and die.
