hellgate crash problem

utajoker · 5 Nov 2007 at 21:33

hi i got hellgate today, and it seems to be crashing every 20-30 mins, when vista recovered it said it had a graphical error, im using the 163.39 nvidia drivers.

any1 else having any crashing problems? its a bit of a pain geting to the end of an area and having it crash

The only crash error i get is that it exits saying 'Memory Exhausted', or something to that effect.
Have turned down the gfx settings and it seems to running a lot smoother.

Yes, Crashing a lot until it messed my installation of windows up.
Works flawlessly in XP, I suggest you try the same if you can

its the Nvidia drivers, if you do a google search theres tons of people with the same problem ... ive gone back to 163.71 and havent had a single problem with any game nor the annoying nvlddmkm error

grab Driver Cleaner Pro and follow the instructions so there are no bits left over when you uninstal the current drivers

well, having just ready your answer this morning, ive found a different fix that seems to have worked.
i checked the hellgate forum and found other people having problems with vista and ms have released a fix for it, so i got that, havent had any problems yet, had a good hour or so gaming after i got it.

if it happens again i will try going back to the drivers you have said.

good stuff, havent got the game yet but good to know theres a fix already

i seem to have fixed the crashing turning from dx10 to dx9

cant notice a difference either.

my only problems now are the performance, it takes ages to load, a friend im playing with who has a slightly slower machine is loading in faster than me.

i get a lot of freezes too.

spec is in sig.

one thing ive noticed is my ram is at 98% use all of the time (vista gadget monitor)

It's just one of the forfeits we have to make for using a superior operating system, does the same to me even with the hotfix, i love vista but also hate it so much at times,

You think hellgate would be ok with it's x64 mode and dx10 but the problems keep on coming

Mines working fine on x64, havent tried it on dx10 and don't plan to until i see there is no problem in doing so.

I get freezes sometime to in the game, basically it freezes when the game is trying to load something.

yeah i had that damn driver problem also, kept freezing and taking me too a screen with 2 swords corssed! grrr, i went back to older drivers from using the beta's but havint had much time to test it since.
