Problems with freezing

Wolf Rider2 · 11-15-2009, 03:40 AM

Ok, I'm sure there is a thread about this hidden somewhere in the archives, but I really am too hot and bothered to go trawling through 64 pages of threads to find one.

I have looked at a couple of threads, and they didn't help. What happens is my computer freezes when I fight people. At the moment it is mountain spiders. I have tried changing the resolution but it hasn't worked.

Anybody think they can help me? I'm sick of only being able to spend ten seconds in the Gael Serran at a time.

Oh sigh - that would be a huge pain!!!!

I presume you've combed through the Tech Tips??

Have you closed down all other unnecessary programs running in the background??

Did this just start happening?? If so - what changed on your computer??

Obviously I'm not a great tech support. I hope Bungleau or someone else will show up and lend a hand soon!!

Yes, I did look through there. However, none of the solutions applied to my problem. I tried defragmenting the computer as well. Didn't help.

Nothing changed on my computer. I haven't been able to play W&W for a few months, but if I remember correctly, the reason I stopped playing it before was because it did this.

It is a fairly old computer with Windows 98, so it should be fine...

W&W always ran well for me on my old 98 machine so it should for you too.

Are you running the graphics in software mode??

I have absolutely no idea. As I am not a hugely computer literate person, how would I go about checking that?

Wyvern · 11-22-2009, 09:24 AM

Software mode is one of the game options so you would check it in W&W

Really sorry that there isn't someone more techie around here right now that could be of more help.

I've had that as an intermittent problem runing under XP. At one point got so bad I uninstalled and reinstalled the game. That worked for a long time. Now it's starting up again, but the freeze happens anywhere, anytime. Old game, I guess, but worth keeping. Hope this helps.

Hi!!!

I think I'll send Bungleau a message and see if he can stop in here and offer some advice.
