Strange Soldier of Fortune II problem

[gballard]

the past couple of days...while playing SOF2....the game would just stop right in the middle of the action and just kick me back to my desktop and the display is all messed up. I can still see the items on my desktop but...the display is really BRIGHT....anyone have any idea what might be causing this?...

first thing update your drivers and check your resolution both in windows desktop and in game and did u overclocked your graphic card if u did or did't check it out.

i have the same EXACT problem, i dont know what is doing it, in the middle of playing and all of a sudden i get a windows xp error box on the sof2mp.exe and i hit ' dont send' and it just goes to desktop with it really bright

edit, and i even formatted like 3 times and i still get the same problem, different drivers and everything, nothing helped

Are you all using the gold patch? Maybe its a patch problem. I havent played Sof2 in a long time but I seem to remember a problem with it not running right if the game resolution was set differently than your desktop resolution. Like I said, its been awhile, maybe this was already cleared up.

Try this: /com_soundmegs 48. Solved all my crashing problems. I think it has something to do with those crappy Audigy drivers but not completely sure. In MP the sound would loop for a second, graphics froze & the game crashed to desktop without any errors or messages. The colours would be all bright. I just doubled my soundmegs. Hunkmegs is set to 512 but it won't make any different in speed or loadingtimes.

Try it.
