January 8, 200421 yr :shock: OK Its been almost 2years since Ive played and there have been some changes... Mainly this steam deal... Now I have read alot of the help forums on both this site and the steam site itself and not to sure if anyone else has had this problem... My cpu gets totally locked up and sometimes I cant even ctl alt del to restart the thing... Sometimes it locks up when Im just trying to change the key settings for the game.. or when Im trying to connect to a server.. or Ill get connected play for about 2 mins and it locks up... Ive only downloaded the minimal steam install... AND could understand if that was the problem but like I said it lets me connect and play but then totally locks up... Any help would be greatly appreciated..... TY......
January 8, 200421 yr From my experiences, anything but the full downloads = STEAM not working right. Go get the DoD or TFC or DMC version of steam - it should work.
January 8, 200421 yr I agree.Get the full Steam install.Then the full 2.8 FA install. The same for the rest of the mods.Steam was really hard to get working early on but it has gotten easier as you learn its quirks.If you have HL already installed in your comp. Make sure you have played it and the CD key is active.Then make sure it is updated to 1.1.1.0.The install Steam, Then FA, etc etc.
January 9, 200421 yr Yeah get the full install bla bla bla. That usually works.PS MacI never had to install hl on this comp or enter a cd key. Maybe its cause i took my bros shared steam installer but who knows.
January 9, 200421 yr You are correct. With the full Steam installer you do not need HL. Just the cd key.I forgot.
January 9, 200421 yr No..you don't even need a CD key...This one time when I installed, I never entered my CD key, and I had just formatted..soo..Apparently not...
January 9, 200421 yr Author OK, ILL Install the full... And see if that works... IF not A swift headbutt to the harddrive might work.
January 9, 200421 yr Wow, I remember whiskey mike, the guy could bench my entire family with one arm.....
January 9, 200421 yr It picked up your cd key from a prior installataion is my bet. It resides in the registry.
January 12, 200421 yr Author AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OK GOT FULL DOWNLOAD>>> Still freezes up. I unistalled every freaking thing, by the book restarted each time. I read all the toutarials mac wrote up.. THis is really weird.. It never locks up the same place or time... One thing I noticed really strange was when I go into the control settings and try to change the mouse sensitivity the second I click the mouse tab it freezes up.. Also IF I go to the game first instead of the servers.. It wont connect to a server and it locks up.. I sometimes get to play for like 2 minute or so before it locks up but if i try to bring my console down itll lock up everytime ...... SO GUYS ??? :? HELP PLEASE :!:
January 12, 200421 yr Video card with 32MB. = big lags & frezzes ??? Your cpu is so fast for this old graphics card ! Or you got the "Wormblast" net virus ???There is .dll file & 1 anti-virus for this "wormblast" on a topic from StateCop : i have those files in you need it.Egidio.
January 13, 200421 yr Drivers drivers drivers.Update everthing.Get a GF4 MX440. They are cheap and run this game fine.Mac
