crash to desktop

microlime · 04-02-10, 05:01 PM

How come every time it seems I engage an enemy ship(before or after or when the torps hits) the game crashes to the desktop? Im running GWX 3.0 gold, game version 1.4, and vista

Try turning the "Particle Density" down.
I've got mine down to 12% with no ill effects.

Also try giving your grafik card and fans a good ekstra cleaning.

yeah I already had the particle density to 0% and just cleaned my case about 2-3 weeks ago.

So much for the simple stuff.

Maybe, leave the side panel off the computer, and periodicaly feel for heat.
If that turns out to be a contributer, an external fan could help.

I've narrowed the Problem down to when the torpedo actually hits its target it crashes and deck gunning is fine so maybe a file is corrupted?

temp isnt a problem becuase its like 60 degrees here and the case isnt hot or any blocked airflows

Hang in there. Somebody in the know will be along.

well its keeps crashing but this time only when I use high time compression.

Anyone want to donate some RAM?

Where are you located and what kind will your rig take?

Seriously, I've got a couple sticks out of my last rig that I have no use for. I think they're both 512Mb so that'd be 1G total. That computer was about 5-6 years old though when I took them out so they might not be compatible with a newer board.

But if you can use them and you're someplace I can mail them to without a gigantic hassle I'll be happy to send them your way. I just can't say exactly what kind they are right now because they're in my desk at work and I don't have the paperwork on the old machine on hand any more.

my rig is from mid 2005-early 2006 so it shouldnt be a problem

but pls bear in mind that there is quite a large variety of memory-chips.
they differ from size, timings, andsoon .....

Send fk a PM with your details...it may be your lucky day.

frau kaleun · 04-05-10, 07:53 AM

PM got and replied to.

Just checked and what I actually have is four sticks of 256 MB each, fortunately the last two I got through Amazon to add to the old PC... so I was able to look them up again and send a linky to the product page. Should be enough info there to know if they're suitable or not. I hope they are cuz I hate to have it just sitting here unused if somebody else could be getting some joy out of it.
