Game Crashes When Loading HQ

Do you have the latest DirectX and graphics card drivers?

I have the latest version of DirectX, but I had to roll back my nVidia drivers because the latest were buggy.

 

Note that the problem started about halfway through the campaign.

 

[edit] I'm playing the US version of SStorm.

What's your hardware setup? Processor, GPU, etc.? How many other programs do you have in the background? Can you save it before you head back to base and get the same problem?

 

Give us more info, grasshopper!

Yes, I can save the game at any point beforehand. I can also continue on with the remaining missions.

 

I'm running few apps in the background:

AllSnap

RealPlayer Basic 8

CPUCool

and the nVidia and GameTheater control apps

 

Here's my specs:

AMD Athlon XP 1900

Gigabyte 7VT600RZ

Win 98SE

geForce4 mx 4000

GameTheater XP 5.1

DirectX 9.0c

 

The nVidia drivers I'm using are either 56.64 or 61.21 (I had problems running games with later versions, and I don't have Windows XP...).

It works OK with nVidias and GTXP control apps, that I know.

Pretty weird you can play it 'cept for going back to base.

I had crashes to desktop but that was pretty random.

Now, have you tried to reinstall? (Backup :/Silent Storm/save/ just in case)

I've ran out of suggestions.

I'm suspecting the video drivers since they seem a little old.

Pity I can't remember the oldest nVidia drivers I had installed when running this game on a GeForce 2 pro. That would've been feb-mars-04 if anyone remember what drivers were actual then.

 

But you should rather get help from someone with US ver. experience.

 

Edit: I see your mb has a VIA chipset. You can try the latest Hyperion (4in1) from VIA arenasince I think it's a mini-AGP in there but it's really a longshot and I don't think it helps, but it always nice to have the latest, fastestest drivers. ;)
