Resistance freezing, tried everything...

[OUberLord 0]

Ok, first up:

Windows XP

Pentium 3 500MHz

Voodoo 5 5500 AGP

SB Live 5.1 Platinum

192Mb RAM

I can play through the first parts of Resistance just fine, with bad framerates only in the part where you must escape from your office. However, the game always freezes following the long cutscene afterwards. Just after the cinema where Victor is thinking to himself about the choice with the shotgun, the black screen with the white text comes up. A few seconds later, the text moves up a half screen and is cut off. At this point the comp totally freezes up and I have to manually reboot.

Fixes I have tried:

-I tried setting the virtual memory to 1Gb. No change.

-I looked in my BIOS for any AGP settings, the only one i found was Aperature size. (What is this, and where can a person go to update his BIOS?)

I have read that a total reinstall wont help, and addons dont affect the game. I open the game with the -nosplash option, but with it on or off makes no difference.

I dunno why it would affect crashing, by my settings are all fairly low. The rest of the game runs pretty much like butter, it just crashes here unexplicably.

For the love of God, does anybody here have any suggestions whatsoever on how to fix this issue? I have tried my best and read through the forum, nothing seems to help.

Well, i figured it out. Some of my addons WERE causing it, when i removed all unofficial ones the game ran fine. So, my next question is, is there any way to tell what addons are incompatible, other than trial and error? Would the crash report say that info? Where is the crash report file located?

Nope you cant. not all people with the same addon will crash anyway.i think!

look in the flashpoint folder for a flashpoint.rpt file. you'll probly have to click on it once for the name to come up. then open it with wordpad or something alike ...

Hmm, not in there, I guess one hasnt been generated since it wasnt really a crash. Oh well, trial and error is Ok, now to find a couple hours to kill

You only seem to get a flashpoint.rpt file if you 'Crash To Desktop'. if you Hard Lock you don't get one generated. tiz a shame!, but seeing as the system is locked i dont see how it could be done without a program,(DrWatson?), recording Data constantly, waiting for it to happen.
