new user has question

wbpoole · 03-07-08, 06:31 PM

I am using the new WGX2.0 and love it so fare. Now my question everytime when I am on patrol and I go to the repair screen and move my officer to the watch the game stops working. Now I noticed it does it when I have the time ramped up to 2x or faster.
I am using windows vista.

I always go to 1x before changing anything, as I don't trust high time compression ever.

And WELCOME ABOARD!

Yes, Welcome!!
What are your system specs?
Mikhayl most likely pointed out your problem.
Even Vanilla SH3 (And Penny will beat me for calling it that!)
works better with 2 gigs.

Penny who? Haven't heard from Power Girl in awhile.

Yes it is a stock issue. Your time compression has to be 1 or you have a risk of CTD happing.

For vista users here are some tips to make it compatible.

Proper installation,

Alway right click on setup and click on "Run as Administrator"

Patch 1.4b right click and "Run as Administrator"

Right click on desktop Icon and under Properties then Advanced click on Run as Administrator. Apply the changes.
Optional changes to desktop Icon if it works for you. under Properties then Compatibility, Run this program .... Windows XP SP2 and If your UAC is on click on Privilege Level again Run this program as an administrator.

Next,

Under System Properties then Performance Options then Data Execution Prevention you want to click on "Turn on DEP for all program and Services except those I select:" and add Silent Hunter III and any other multiple installations. This program monitors the memory for viruses and some times GAMES can set this off.

Next
How many have seen this error,
VISTA 32bit users
Display driver nvlddmkm stopped restponding and has successfully recovered.

I had to battle with Microsoft and NVidia tech departments for them to give me a straight answer. MS's answer was if your FPS drops below 10 there is a chance that the Vista's will start a mini memory dump for the Video driver and will attempt to recover it. That why you get the black screen for a few seconds then the displayed error message. Anyhow MS blames NVidia and NVidia blames MS. I believe there both equally responsible. By the way ATI has this issue with MS so don't assume your immune.

Best way to avoid this is keep your FPS high.

Also,
click on Start then run and type this line in and run it.
BCDEDIT /set IncreaseUserVa 2800

For further technical details I suggest you check out MS's technet site;

I am runnning 2GB RAM and have a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce Ga 7600 graphics card. So I know I have enough power but I have not been runing it as admenestrator. Will try that. THANKS AGAIN.

I found the actual article for a temperary fix reguarding that blasted nvlddmkm error message.

This is microsoft temp fix till Vista's SP1 is released.

Remember keep your FPS high and lower graphic settings if this occurs too much.
