jakerod 254 Posted January 24, 2004 Whenver I go to Multiplayer after I start up the game (1.95) the game freezes up, I can't alt-tab out of it and after a while I hear an error message pop up in the background but cannot read it because the main menu is in the way. The first time it froze was because I accidently switched Sockets to Directplay and as it was switchign to DirectPlay it froze. Anyway to solve this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 31 Posted January 24, 2004 Post your system specs. Using a firewall? Router? Hub? Switch? Cordless Kettle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted January 24, 2004 Seeing how I only know what one of those is, the firewall, I do not think I am using the other ones. I also do not have a firewall either. Im pretty sure it has something to do with me accidently hitting DirectPlay. Edit: 256 MB RAM, 1.99 Ghz and that is all I know about it (As you can tell I do not know a lot of PC performance kind of things) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 31 Posted January 25, 2004 Why can't you alt&tab? If you're running XP try pressing CTRL+ALT+L this goes to a "computer locked" screen (in theory) cancel that and you should be back to your desktop to see the error message...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted January 25, 2004 Nope that didnt work it just froze again and wouldnt let the alt+tab+L thing work. Just sat there and I had to restart like normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gadger 0 Posted January 25, 2004 go to your userinfo file, default location C:/Program Files/Codemasters/Users/"your username", open the userinfo file in notepad, find the line "useSockets=0" change this to "useSockets=1" Alternatley if thats too much hard work, delete your current user profile in the profile options and create a new profile, should work then.
