Any idea why my DW has started to Freeze?

hachiman · 02-16-06, 07:12 PM

Had DW a while and never had any probs with it.
Only thing i ever install is the 16 Gram MH-60 Mod.
I also have changed the gamma level slightly using the games INI file.
But from tonight the game has started freezing on me.
Only way out is to Ctrl -Alt-Del.

I did install the version of Hyperlobby that supports DW earlier on and thats the only thing i think of?

Any ideas?

Thanx

Did you uptade the graphics drivers ?
Maybe its not a probem of dw but of your video card.

Mine does freeze when I turn 'puffy clouds' off and on. Also with shadows on my GFX card stops to dither in 16bit mode after while (5 seconds or so). I think both are problem of rather old and rather un-updateble drivers on my notebook.
Well I have no idea what is your problem, just try to minimize your GFX options in the game. It can matter.
