Very Annoying Error That I Cant Fix Please Help

Air · Post by **Air** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 5:16 pm

well when i load the game it loads fine, i can log in and run around, about 5-10 minutes of running round my game freezes and then comes back after about 5 seconds of having a black screen, then it happens again about 10 seconds later. after this my screen gets filled with squares which is nearly impossible to play, sometimes it just freezes comp-letely at a black screen. then i finally get back to my windows screen by closing the game somehow and my screens distorted because of the error. and when i open my ATI control centre and press 3D the 3D preveiw wont play and has an error with something about my Direct3D or the same when i choose the Video option. it talks about OpenGL or DL .

i will post back with screenshots, i have Windows updated. anyone know why this is happening :s .

i think i have updated my driver but i am not to sure on that one so please comment back.

Maybe its somethin to do with ATI as i have used their video cards and i think personally they suck, ithink some other games hav crashed usin ATI maybe there's a fix i dunno

Well, I have a X1300 and never had a problem with my AATI cards and games in general. Well, except Linux games as ATI Linux drivers suck baaaadly.

Air:

Judging roughly by the error:

A) Have you updated your card drivers?
B) Have your ever overclocked your card?

It seems that the VPU is overheating or with some defect.

i had this error to when overclocked my card
it could be reason.
try installing new drivers (detonater drivers are pretty good for ati cards)

Detonator drivers are for Nvidia cards....
