Neal 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Ok in MP, I run my own server with 1 other person. Now in earlier versions i have NEVER had a problem. Now, after an hour or so I lose sound. 10 Seconds later, the game freezes for about 5 seconds then automatically restarts. Info: Windows XP 1GB Ram Radeon 9700 Pro 2.66ghz Intel P4 SBLive Sound With about 45mb of addons. (sebnam and mfcti) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted February 17, 2005 Do you have problems only in MP? Ever have problems in SP? Using -nomap? Have the latest drivers for your soundcard? (sadly that isn't saying a lot), does your motherboard have onboard sound? If so could you remove the SB card (they're baaaaaaad) and give your onboard sound a try?

Neal 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Latest sound yes, onboard no. Yet this is the only game I have had this problem. But crashing shouldnt be caused by the card. Its hard to play a SP game for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garcia 0 Posted February 17, 2005 Just start OFP, place a man in the editor and preview it...go eat and watch some telly, and come back after 1 hour. If it's still on, wait another hour. Or you could just start a SP mission and do the same things (leave it on for some hours). You don't actually have to play the mission... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 0 Posted February 17, 2005 What I mean by playing a SP game for a long time is that, I beat most of em in 20 min. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulture2k1 0 Posted March 16, 2005 Same Problem here... but i cannot play my own sp-missions more than 5-10 minutes until the sound turns off and the system restarts (app. 5-15 secs later).. i use nothing else than dxdll (reinstalled ofp 2 days ago) specs: 3,1 ghz amd barton geforce 6800 gt (yes, latest drivers) 2x512 mb ddr333 RAM Windows XP (up to date with sp1&2 and so on) Soundblaster Live <-- is this the problem? Plz help us.. its my favorite game and i want to play csla-fia and i44 when they come out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Tea 0 Posted March 16, 2005 I suggest WinXP is the problem. Hang me, but I`m sure WinXP is the worst thing you can have on youre PC, especialy when you upgraded to SP2. I´m only an MCP so don`t count to much on my oppinion. btw. Wasn`t there many problems reportet, related to soundblaster live cards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billabong81 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Not sure if this will help, but since you have a soundblaster card, might as well give this a try . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crashdome 3 Posted March 17, 2005 Quote[/b] ]Hang me, but I`m sure WinXP is the worst thing you can have on youre PC, especialy when you upgraded to SP2. Whatever.... I run Windows XP SP2 and a SB Live card and have yet to experience ANY problems. I also run my onboard sound in tandem with the Live card during MP games w/ Teamspeak - its pretty cool because you get voice through headset/onboard and full game sound through your speakers/SBLive). I get the crackling with the SBLive but no reboots. I can't tell if your mb is Intel by your post or if you just mean an Intel Processor... but check if you are running on a VIA chipset. A friend of mine had the reboot problem quite often. It seemed he reinstalled every other day. We came to terms that it was probably his motherboard (VIA chipset w/ AMD processor). He's recently upgraded to Intel-based board (I think) w/ a Pentium 4 and he has had no trouble since then. However, it could be coincidence... I'll admit that... But, if he comes across this post, I'll let him tell you the specifics himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BraTTy 0 Posted March 17, 2005 Could be software related but normally rebooting is caused by heat.I would check the dust status around your cpu,power supply and video card Especially if it has gradually gotten worse over time, I suspect heat. Possible power supply on its way out too (normally a power supply failing just shuts off) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted March 18, 2005 Give this a try if you have SBlive 5.1: Go to sound and audio devices in control panel, then on the volume tab click on advanced under you speaker settings and change to a diferent configuration other than 5.1, i can not confirm this atm but i remember it would work this way. OPF+SBlive+5.1= freeze+ctd+system reboot . Note that you may need to change this back to 5.1 to play your other games properly, while the drivers available for this soundcard are not great, OPF's sound quality isnt state of the art either and i do get good enough sound with other aplications/games. I dont have via chipset mobo either . Hope this helps you guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
