Crash!!!

Richterscale720 · 2003-10-28, 06:45 PM

I have a problem my game of planetside is constantly crashing. Most often it does so with no message at all, it just locks up or simply closes Usually at least once evey half hour. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these sort of problems and if anyone at all knows how i could fix it. Here are my system specs and thank you.

1.8 Ghz pentium 4 m processor
384 mb of ram
geforce 4 videocard
Windows XP professional
24x cd drive
Cable modem

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like that RAM to me.

Yeah, upping ur ram will definately help with that, but no matter what PS will always crash some time or another, its just the way it is lol. 1 Gig will eliminate 75-80% of that prob though.

Did this start with Core Combat or has it always been doing it?

I am having similar problems since Core came out.

I have 1g memory so i know its not the memory for me

Have you checked to make sure you have the latest and greatest drivers for your mainboard/video card/sound card?

When I had a problem with crashes like that, it ended up being drivers for my sound card that were the cause of the problem.

As odd as it may sound, have you tried playing on the test server to see if you crash the same way there?

Keep in mind, Sony has an email addy to submit your crashlogs to when you CTD or lock. I can't remember it off hand and I'm at work right now so I can't go look because of proxy issues.

Upping the ram never hurts either!

I kind of have the same prob FIRST the graphics fuck up i mean REALLY fuck up and then it eventually kicks out on me

P3
Geforce4 ti 4200
512mb of RAM

P.S i cant afford a p4 atm for this comp

BLack you coun'nt put a P4 in that comp without getting a new mobo and memory just so you know, it sound more like a driver proble to me, get the new ones, or remove and reinstal the drivers you have

Ill do that again and did some more adjustments to vid card as well hopefully it works

CC has made PS very buggy and also your memory is very low... and yes go update all your drivers

If you have that amount of ram, you will probly need a new motherboard too. I dont know if there is a board that has a ram config that can get that number and goes up to 1gig. But, then again i missed a few years of boards.

Get intel's new 875p board.

do NOT use nvidia's latest Geforce driveron a GF4. (51. i think they off the top of my head.)

They are, to put it mildly, a load of bullshit. Roll back your drivers to v45.21 or something.
