|
 |
I had random crashes from the beginning and thought it was the older drivers i had. After some more playing i had more and so i went and updated all my drivers. To no avail. The game still crashes
I m having an 8800gt with the latest beta drivers and a realtek hd onboard soundcard.
The crashes dont look like a typical sound-card crash though.
Anybody else getting random video-lockups with audio still playing in the background?

i pretty much ruled out CPU-overheating as it also happens with reduced multiplier. And google tells me that other people seem to have similar issues.
So if somebody finds a solution, post it here =)

There are many soundcard problems reported everywhere. Try to disable your soundcard in the devicemanger. If the game doesn't crash anymore then that is your problem.

i actually dont believe it is the sound, because the sound usually plays fine when i get the graphical glitches / crashes. Sometimes i get heavy texture fuckups but the game still plays, so i can quicksave and quit the game with a little guesswork (because the texture in the menu are also all fucked up).
I also noticed that the game seemed to be more prone to crashes when i was using the dragunov and / or driving around in the dune buggy.
But there are also crashes, where the system totally hangs and i have to reset the system. Those could still be sound-card related. Will see later today, if i can be bothered to do more troubleshooting to a game that obviously needs a patch or two 
and thanx for the reply

well, i thought the same at first, but my card isnt overclocked (my cpu is though, but checked that already) and other games like crysis warhead didnt overheat it. So i googled and found posts by other people via who seem to have the same issue, so its pretty damn certain its an issue with the game.
but as i said, if i can be bothered later on, i ll do some troubleshooting again, also with underclocking my gfx =)
