Crashes

by Larry Hill · in ThinkTanks · 10/19/2003 (2:37 pm) · 3 replies

I have a G4 500 cube. Everytime I run ThinkTank or Marbel Blast my computor crashes. This is something am not used to becuase my system has been very stable. I am running OX 2.8. I hope this is a simple problem becuase I love the game

    Larry,
    Enable the crash.log. That will tell you why you are having crashes. I also run under 10.2.8 but I have had no problems at all. (knock wood, genuflect, put penny on forehead)

    1) Is the machine locking up or is the application crashing?

    2) Do you receive any messages when the event occurs?

    3) What other applcations are active when you play these games.

    4) Do you have the most recent updates to 1.2.8? There was an undocumented feature in the initial upgrade that was repaired in shortly thereafter.

    5) How many fingers am I holding up right now?

    Larry, also let us know what video card you are using. BTW, I will be out of town till next week, so I won't be reading this forum. To get the best response from us, send an email to support@bravetree.com (others will have noticed that we sometimes miss support requests posted to this forum).
