My I just gave my free trial to a friend, and he says every 1-3 minutes its freezeing up. Can anyone help me figure this out so he can play? thanks . here is his specs

2.6Ghz P4
512MBRAM
80GB HDD
Dial up at 28.8(i know its not this cause mines slower and it works).

Thanks

WhaT 28.8k dialup, man i though i had it bad when i had 56k, thats the problem

[dscytherulez]

Indeed. There is no internet less than 28.8k readily available anymore lol, so I HIGHLY doubt you have less. The internet is definately the problem.

[NoSurrender]

internet for sure

[cloudj110589]

it is 56k but it is running at a connection of 28.8kbps. this is the error message that comes up "microsoft windows detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work and reboot to restore frll functionality" :(

[Rbstr]

that helps a bit more, that means one of two things i think, he either has a driver problem or some hardware is malfunctioning, I would first download new drivers for his chipset, vidcard, soundcard, and modem. Then if that doesn't help i can't realy say what too do other than if it was bought from a place(not Built yourself) tell them and see what they can do

i'm cloud's friend and it does it offline too please help :(

make sure you have hyperthreading disabled. planetside does not support it.

also check your swap files

[SilverLord]

Swap files?

[Rbstr]

AHAHAHA not again, 3 days in a row ok i'll go find it again


for XP home, and most others) Go to the control planel --> system --> advanced --> performance settings --> advanced --> vitual memory change -- > custom size --> set the max and min the same to the same size, mine is 2gb, and there you go

[lapaz]

how do you disable hyperthreading?

[martyr]

that's a bios option, probably somewhere under advanced chipset management or something of the like.

[Daleon]

You left out what video card the guy has. Its more than likely a driver problem or something with it.

[cloudj110589]

thanks yall i fixed it it was a driver problem:)

[Ait'al]

Does hyperthreading disable proccessor commands or something.

[Rbstr]

no, it makes the chip act like 2 chips so too threads can be executed at once

[Ait'al]

So how do i play planetside on an 800mhz Intel system and why does Soe advertise 800mhz Intel chips with it?

[HawkEye]

idk :confused:

[Rbstr]

I have never heard of problems when HT is enabled, just that PS doen't suport dual CPU's so you get no benifit from it unless your running MP3's or somthing in the background

[SilverLord]

Swap files = Page files?

[Rbstr]

yes
