    Hi Guys

    I have recently bought 'Freelancer'

    I'm having a little trouble with it...

    It keeps crashing, no need

    At randoms parts in the game, the PC just locks up, with 1 beep that doesn't stop.

    The only way to stop it is re-start the PC

    .................................................. ............................

    System spec's

    GeForce 4 Ti 4200
    (Driver... Nvidia Detonator XP Drivers (Windows 2000/XP) 43.51)

    Audigy 2 Sound card
    (Driver.... Audigy 2 sound pack 3)



    I have re-installed the game to see if it helps, but it doesn't


    .................................................. ...............................

    If anyone has an idea's plz post

    Thanks
    The Doc

    Aaahhhhhrrrggggggg

    The PC is about to leave the room via the window....

    So far i have tried and tested about 4 different drivers for the g/f card, 2 different drivers for the sound card.

    Hell, i even took the game to a few different friends house and it's runs all right on their PC's,
    The worst thing was it's a great game, which i can't run on my pc at all, it crashes nearly right away now.... Gggrrrrr

    I'm not so sure any more that it's a problem with the graphic's card - sound card drivers.


    But guys any ideas would be welcome....
    Plz help as i value my PC & don't wish to see it leave via my window in a fit of rage.

            Hi Doc

            Have a look at this forum, same problem as you I think

            http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...asp?thre=35030

            I think you need to speak to Creative tech support
            or try it without the Audigy

            Unfortunately Creative stuff is quite famous for having clashes with graphic cards, I install as little of creative software as possible for my card, (e.g drivers only)

            On my last XP Pro install I did not install any S/B stuff
            and let windows update find the drivers it wanted, that
            seemed to work pretty well

            Good luck ( I think you might need it )
            There is a fine line between Insanity and Genius !
            I have erased that line.

              Doc,
              It's RTCW You know you are not allowed to play other games.
              I know where I am concerning where I was, things always look better depending on how far you look back.

                Heh heh

                Thats what i love about this place...
                Good solid advice

                For the most part the game now runs...
                I still have system crashes and failures, but at least i can now play the game. :-)

                I downgraded my G/F drivers to 'Nvida 30.82' and it seems to like these drivers the best.


                Cheers for all the advice
                The Doc :-D

                  give more system specs !! there are more things that can create your system to crash in a game.... not only the vid/sound card

                              Ok cheers for the advise guys, but I'm not ready to dump my shinny new soundcard just yet...

                              It rocks for music... This was the main reason i bought it, not for games.

                              Next time i do a clean install i will not load up any of the stuff that came with it. :-)
