Project Reality Forums

Hello,
I'm often experiencing Blue Screens mostly after a mapchange when the counter has finished and everyone is about to spawn for the first time. (Map doesn't matter)

In some cases it happened later while the game was already running for a few minutes.
My computer didn't crash for years now except Project Reality so the Error has to lie inside the mod.
This is very, very annoying and I don't know why its happening.

This is the latest BSOD Message I had yesterday:



This is my configuration:
Intel Q6600 G0
Gigabyte P35-DS3 Rev1
4x 2GB Mushkin DDR2-RAM
Sapphire HD 4870 1GB
Creative X-FI Xtreme Gamer
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

It also doesn't matter if I am playing @ Standard or Overclocked

I already played with High and Ultra High Sound Quality but I still had the same Blue Screen Issue.

The next thing I am going to do is making another screenshot when the next Blue Screen occurs to upload it here so you can compare both Error Messages.

I'm sorry Guest, It would appear that it has taken a dump on you

A game can not make you Blue Screen, it is to do with your drivers. Try updating them first of all. Second, you could have a bad overclock on either your card or your CPU, third you could possibly have an overheating card, but you would see artifacting, etc before that happens usually.

Hey, thanks for providing so many details in your first post.
I realized you use a creative soundcard, so im very sure this thread will fix your problems:

Also going to move your thread to the support section.

@Bloody Deed:
I would like to thank you for this advice !

Coincidentally I talked to some other players about my issue while playing and they gave me the same hint.
Although I was already using PAX drivers, I downloaded the latest, removed the old ones etc. and after that I set the Sound Quality to High.
Since then I've never experienced any new Blue Screens so far.

So I already did the same thing before you posted it. I hope it really were the (older) Soundcard drivers causing the problem. If not, I'll let hear from me here
