Loa4ever 45 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hello everyone I hope you are having a good day .I wrote this topic to talk about the problems I'm having with some missions: Return to the City, Rightful Property, Sneak and Destroy, Heart of Lone Salvation, St Albans Cathedral. I can read/see the mission objectives, choose the dificulty and load the mission. However, sometimes the game crashes while loading (shows the "program has to shut down" message from Windows). Other times, I can play the missions for a few minutes, but if I save the game, it crashes the same way. I'm running Windows XP SP3, 2.60 GHz Dual Core, 2 GB memory, and an ASUS EAH4350 SILENT/DI/512MD2(LP) graphics card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeriousToni 481 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hello Loa4ever,are you playing a fresh install or did you play The Dark Mod for months / years before without problems? Also which Doom version do you use?

Springheel 4645 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Those are all fairly big taxing missions, but your system specs should be able to handle it. Are there missions that don't cause any problems?

Loa4ever 45 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Hello Loa4ever, are you playing a fresh install or did you play The Dark Mod for months / years before without problems? Also which Doom version do you use? Hi, I've installed The Dark Mod about 3 months ago, and I've got Doom3 v1.3.1 + RoE. And I've always had these issues. Those are all fairly big taxing missions, but your system specs should be able to handle it. Are there missions that don't cause any problems? Yes, though I've experienced some random crashes once in a while in certain areas. Edited August 21, 2012 by Loa4ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm running Windows XP SP3, 2.60 GHz Dual Core, 2 GB memory, and an ASUS EAH4350 SILENT/DI/512MD2(LP) graphics card. Some of these missions need upwards to 2GByte memory themselves, and if you only got 2 Gb and the OS already uses a bit of it, you might simply run out of memory (which can look like a crash). Also, have you run a memory test on your computer? The second stick might be bad, which you normally don't notice, but when something needs a lot of memory, it randomly puts stuff on the faulty place, and depending on how important that bit was, it might either crash, or do nothing. http://memtest.org/ Quote "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Komag 20 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 make sure it's 1.3.1.1304 (NOT 1.3.1.1302) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeriousToni 481 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 What was it? The 1.3.1.1302 ?? Quote "Einen giftigen Trank aus Kräutern und Wurzeln für die närrischen Städter wollen wir brauen." - Text aus einem verlassenen Heidenlager Link to post Share on other sites
Loa4ever 45 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Not that. The memory that my computer uses to run stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bikerdude 3741 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Not that. The memory that my computer uses to run stuff.Smashing, as per Tels post I was about to suggest that aswell. And if you can afford it, I would upgrade the gfx card to one with atleast 1Gb of ram nVidia:GT 430 96cores - $499800GT 112 cores - $59Amd:HD 6430 160cores - $35HD 5550 320cores - $55 untill TDM 1.08 comes out (this year hopefully), ATi/AMD cards of HD5000 series and above will have the "hard to disable catalyst Ai issue" this is related to the spinning sky in tdm.
