AXP 3200+, 1GB DDR1, Powercolor 256MB X1950PRO AGP, SB Live! Value.
Had issues with crashing after about 2 mins. Set all graphics, models, textures to medium, set sound to medium can now play pretty much indefinitely. Exiting the game, tho, caused a spontaneous reboot. :\ I had lots of driver issues (even with a fresh XP install) eventually got 3DMark to run with Powercolor/Tul's drivers dated about 3/07. Latest Catalysts wouldn't even let 3DMark run. Bloody drivers! |

ATI users also need to ensure they have the all the latest .NET framework stuff installed via Windows/Microsoft Update.

Did this twice and it still crashes on me with the damn looping sounds. This is the only game to do this too me continously. I've had it happen in other games but not for a long time.

I can play fine but my mate can't and I think it may be due to the dreaded loopback sound problem. Whenever he crashes it is with a loopback playing.
Widely discussed here>>> http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...=looping+crash People with on board sound tend to suffer but my dedicated card is fine. Last edited by dr.flexyjerkov; 09-16-2007 at 03:01 PM. |

Also reference this thread:
http://www.fortress-forever.com/foru...ad.php?t=11141 Bum I don't know if you have any old drivers on your comp or not.. maybe from an older vid or sound card from a different manufacturer than you presently have? If so, NUKE them all. |

I tried running it in windows mode and still crashes..
Also whenever it goes to the map ff_hunted it crashes hard. It always turns my whole computer off and when i turn it back on it says windows has recovered from a serious error whenever playing that map. Its whenever i select my class in that map and then boom it goes to hell. I love the game, I just wish I didn't crash all the time. I don't quite understand why it is always crashing, never had such a problem with any games like this. |

Does this fix the driver not responding problem on Vista?

I spoke with a FF Developer
Hello people,
I, like many, hit these forums when my PC would get the loopback crash for no reason in Fortress Forever. I uninstalled my video drivers, updated them, updated my chipset, nothing worked. I got onto IRC and messaged an admin in #FortressForever and his reccomendation WORKED for me. He asked me "What setting do you have player model on?" I looked and told him "Medium". He said that close to 70% of people's crashes are due to this. He said "Set your player model detail to high, and compensate by lowering other options" Low and behold i tried this and was able to play for about 40 minutes with no hiccups. I reccomend everyone try this and see if it works. My specs: AMD Clawhammer 3500+ Foxcom Motherboard X800 Pro PCI Express 768 Meg of shitty RAM -WMK |

Ah great... First off, I used that driver cleaner and cleaned out my drivers. Then, I tried to install 7.9 cat drivers for my 9800 All in Wonder... and the installer kept giving me some kind of "can not detect hardware for your drivers," so I tried the 7.8 drivers. The first part of the drivers gave me that same error, so I installed the next part... the WDM part. Those worked and told me to restart my computer, which I did.
Now, when I start up, my computer beeps like a jerk and then goes straight to BIOS. I tried switching the boot order to make CD ROM go first to try and use system restore with my Windows XP disk, but it still goes to BIOS. Any suggestions? (Besides buying a Mac... which I'll probably do soon anyways.) |
