hornile 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Well....that's my problem.... but I found out that one other game (Deus EX) also crashes, but this one shows an error message... But all other games run fine... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterman 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Yep, this problem has plaqued me for months... still never found a solution. Â Even emailed BIS and all they said was get 1.94 and use -nomap which I already had. Im guessing most of us that are having this problem have a VIA chipset too... I got one, and have the latest hyperion 4in1 drivers. Havent tried disabling W-buffer however... EDIT - It was already disabled and I dont have option to enable it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BraTTy 0 Posted January 26, 2004 I don't think your power supply is the problem. My OFP on ocassion does this (so doesnt Bf1942) I have a Geforce ti 4200 now,but it did it with my fx5600 and a Geforce2 pro (not very often from what i remember with that one) I think its video memory,more system ram and more video card ram allows more graphics to load and things overflow. It seems lowering AGP aperature helps,as it doesnt allow so much graphics to load.I see you said you tried 64mb agp aperature,thats what mine is at and it still does it (If I can get OFP installed again!!) I don't recall it doing it when I used lower figures (32 agp aperature) But it also can be an addon causing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee_h._oswald 0 Posted January 27, 2004 Everyone with CTD problems should try to: -Lower your AGP aperture size (bios) to 128 or 64. and: -Check how much ram OFP is allowed to use! If you have 1GB, set it to 768MB, if you have 512, set it to ~384. For me, it looks like when too much ram is "reserved" for AGP and OFP it crashes more often. Don´t know if this helps, but give it a try. MfG Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterman 0 Posted January 28, 2004 Does that preferences only apply to "full" patches? i.e. not the beta patches? My Texture heap and File Heap were set a 16MB and the Geometry performance was quite low compared to that on your screenshot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted January 28, 2004 Does that preferences only apply to "full" patches? i.e. not the beta patches? There should be no difference in these settings, whether running OFP 1.75, 1.85, 1.91 or 1.9x beta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elaintarha 0 Posted February 5, 2004 no but I really need help with this one. still can only play max 15 mins before it crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hornile 0 Posted February 5, 2004 I'm not sure but I suspect some of the Windows XP hotfixes or updates. My WinXP is now running without any patch and everything concerning flashpoint is fine. I can also play "Deus Ex" again. Probably it's DirectX 9, but I can't test that because you cannot uninstall DirectX9 (only with a new windows....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
