Giants crash/freeze

Post by RichardMH »

After a while the game freezes and I have to press restart button
what is wrong? dont say its because of 98SE because this hasnt happend
that much before. Doesnt matter if its V.Small or one of my Ripper maps
it happens...
My guess is it might be the grahic card since its the only "new" thing that seem to have a problem with Giants.
My old 32MB Nvidia never gave me problems like this.

Why do you laugh?

Anyhow

When I turn off the sound card the game works
without any problems
it runs smoother, more fps and I dont get that enoying
thingy when the vimp herds is reborn...

YAY!

AND

I got the job! Wednesday next week I will start! wooohooo!

Try installing some new drivers for your sound card. It may just be a software conflict.
What model/brand is your sound card?

Good work on getting your job.
