Random freezes?
by James \"Corvidae\" Williams · in General Game Discussion · 12/13/2002 (8:30 am) · 3 replies
Is anyone else experiencing seemingly random freezes on certain levels? I'm going along, working on the puzzle, then the whole machine will lock up solid for maybe thirty seconds. This seems to happen about every 10-15 seconds of gameplay, which makes it a real challenge to advance.
The worst offender by far are the Penthouse levels (I'm on Penthouse 2), but it's occurred in a couple of other ones, as well.

It has to do something with my video card. I found error messages (2 messages/freez) in EventLog viewer generating by nvidia driver ('ve GeForce2 card) ...
EventLog messages are:
Hash Failure on Channel 0000001 ...., source: nv
GR SW Method Error COCOD ...., source: nv
I have the latest drivers...

Yes, I have the same problem. The demo version of the game freezes every 2minutes for several tens of seconds...It has to do something with my video card. I found error messages (2 messages/freez) in EventLog viewer generating by nvidia driver ('ve GeForce2 card) ...

I noticed that my game freezes when an object is destroyed. My gut tells me that it's the particles that are being emitted so quickly and / or the explosion IFL or a combination of both that just make my video card choke and freeze but I don't have any data to say it's one thing or another. And it doesn't always happen, just once in a great while but it's a real problem for sure.
Perhaps I should slow the particles down or something...
