C&C Generals Crash

Joker Jam · 26 Feb 2006 at 14:32

Hi all, new here

Ive started playing Generals and Zero Hour a lot over past week but have found that the game keeps crashing to the desktop after about 10 minutes of play on skirmish however it has done it while on the menu aswell, when it closes to windows it just give me a "Technical error has occurred...blah blah" message. I dont remember the game ever doing this to me a few months ago, and i have the latest patch for it 1.04

I formatted the hard drive last night and the game still gives me the error. I have got the latest drivers and have tried running the game with SLI off but it still does it

any suggestion on what i can do to fix this?

cheers

if you are overclocking then try setting everything back to default.

This game can be a bitch when it starts playing up. This trick used to work for me. If your system isn't heavily overclocked or you just don't think it's that then try this...

1 - Uninstall the game.
2 - Make a new folder on your desktop and copy the contents of both the CD's to that folder.
3 - Run the installation from that folder.
4 - Once installation is complete, delete the folder and install any patches.
5 - Play game without it crashing

Cheers for the help guys, after setting my overclocked A64 back to default it seems to not do it at all now and im surprised it was my overclock because it was only 200Mhz faster (A64 3500+)

Chong Warrior - ill have to remember to do that next time it plays up
