BoonieRat 0 Posted July 17, 2002 When you say you've tried everything else, list them out so's people can say if theres 'owt else worth trying. Are you getting CTD's with plain ole vannila OFP?. I was, Resistance was 50X worse. but what I'm getting at is: if OFPversion# 1.46 does'nt crash. it might be somthing else.Resistance specific.have you tried disabling Sound Hardware Acceleration?. under 'Multimedia' in the 'Control Panel'?. that might help. system specs are a must!. mobo, which Northbridge,CPU, RAM, Soundcard,Graphics,ect... Have you tried checking your instalation with the checker that Placibo knocked up?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepu 0 Posted July 17, 2002 I have: ATI Radeon 7200, AMD 1200 TB, MSI K7T VIA chipset mainboard, soundblaster Live and 256MB SDRAM 133. So far I have tried to change Bios settings like disabling AGP 4x, changing AGP aperture size to 64M, tried many radeon drivers and 4in1 drivers, tried different game settings, disabling hardeware acceleration from soundblaster. Im not sure those swapfile settings, I think they are normal windows settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepu 0 Posted July 17, 2002 No I didnt have any problems with original OFP or RedHammer, only with resistance now and I have installed OFP again with clean installation and I have installed whole Windows again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 31 Posted July 17, 2002 If it's a fresh install am I to assume there are no addons that you downloaded left? How much hard drive space do you have free? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepu 0 Posted July 17, 2002 About 7gigs in same drive with OFP and 30 totally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 31 Posted July 17, 2002 If you have any unofficial addons delete them (or move them to somewhere else on your hard drive away from Opf), change your swapfile settings to at least 700mb minimum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Frag 0 Posted July 17, 2002 To disable ACPI, you'll have to have a BIOS which supports doing that. You would need to go into the BIOS setup screen(s) and turn it off -- do not mess with anything else in the BIOS if you don't have a good understanding of what everything does. Getting into the BIOS setup is different from system to system, but it usually involves hitting a key such as F1, F2, F12, or DEL immediately after the power-on self test (POST). Be aware that disabling such a critical function will have a profound effect on the operating system on your computer, and your system will probably not be able to boot after disabling ACPI. You will therefore have to have a bootable CD with the OS read (or floppies with the CD drivers etc. if your system can't boot from a CD), and then reinstall the OS. Usually repairing the existing installation, or installing to the same location as the existing installation, will be sufficient and preserve all user files and settings. In a worst-case scenario, you would have to wipe the partition clean and start from scratch; this would also be the best and quickest way to do it if you don't have anything on your system you don't mind loosing or reinstalling.

BoonieRat 0 Posted July 18, 2002 There is a way of doing it by removing the ACPI BIOS and replacing it with a Plug and Play one. I don't know the ins and outs of it. I'd recomend doing a reformat of your HardDrive and then reinstalling windows with the following string/command for setup. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â setup /p i There is a 'space' between 'setup' and the '/' symbol. also between the 'p' and 'i' . I dont know if they are necisary, but thats how I found it, and thats how I did it. it worked for me. This fix was reccomended for VIA chipsets and SoundBlastards so good luck dude, let us know if it fixes it. PS. what MrFrag says is right,but applies to WinXP. Win98 is a lot different. theres no 'press F5' while booting option.
