Game Freezes?

Brisks · Post by **Brisks** » 2007-06-13 00:48

Hi,

I've being playing PR since the patch before this one and it played fine no problems at all. However shortly after installing 0.5 ive experianced crashes to desktop and the game just freezing after playing for around 5-10 minutes. This is in multiplayer ( I havent tested SP)

Normal BF2 plays fine and yesterday I was playing the airport map in PR and there seemed to be no problem there, however I tried PR again today on a different map and it started crashing again. If anyone has any suggestions or a fix for this I would be greatful.

Brisks.

Have you check that the heatsink on your cpu or GPU isn't blocked with dust and skin particles?

Next would be to check your ramsticks for stability.

Although you should always run the software route regularly :

remove all programs you don't need installed
spybot s&d plus thenadaware se (spyware removers)
Tuneuputilities registry cleaner function and then registry defrag function
diskkeeper HDD defrag utility on "performance" setting
remove GPU drivers, use Driver Cleaner Pro to remove all traces, then install latest GPU drivers

It seems I only crash on the maps with lots of vegitation, would not having enough ram cause this? Also How do I check the stability of my RAM?

Post your specs, that usually helps!

Where can I find my specs? I'm not great with computers.

Easiest to do is Right click on my computer and select properties and some info should be there.

There are also programs to detect what hardware you got, but I can't remember any right now.

Ok I think this info is relevant

Graphics Card: Geforce 7300 SE
Memory: 512MB

I know I have 1GB of RAM.

Memory is the most likely cause... you need at least 2Gigs to play PR without many problems.

2g RAM?
