Prey crashing (assuming gfx?)

[Conrad11]

Hi there,

Just bought Prey today, installed fine and everything. However, when i try and load it up, it crashes and has the "send error report" or "dont send" options. This crashing can happen either when i load up the game, loading a map, or within moments of joining a server. Any ideas?

I've already updated the gfx card drivers, and other games i play(ed) such as CoD2 and AoE3 work fine.

Help appreciated, cheers!

Could be anything mate. Make sure your system is stable first, by running Prime95 for a few hours and memtest86. Even tho other games work ok, doesnt mean that maybe your memory is dodgy or there's some other hardware problem. Once you've tested with the above programs, then you know its a software/driver problem, and it'll be easy to fix.

Have you got a dualcore CPU? If so, it might be an issue with that (i.e. requiring the amd driver update, hotfix, or optimiser....)

prey crashes for me but ONLY when loading the level called "mothers embrace". the rest of the game worked fine.

yeah, ive got a dualcore CPU: X2 4400. i dont have any drivers installed for that though.

its weird, because the demo worked completely fine, no problems at all

Seems a lot of people are getting this, it being the last level in the game must be a pain
