Rebooting game |
Love this game, when I can play. I can play on my old P4 2.6. Whenever I try to play on my Newer one, AMD X2 (dual processors) 4200 I get a reboot whenever I hit certain buttons, like contruction que, planets, and others.
What I've tried:
- Turned off one of the CPU processors. nada.
- Updated my video drivers. There seemed to be a timing issue that was fixed. Whenever I panned it would be jerky. Not anymore, but I still reboot.
Seems obvious to me this program has issues with dual core processors since I can play it fine on my wives computer, P4 2.6 with 6800 vidio card.
Any suggestions?
Dual Core
I thought the dual core issues where fixed... I upgraded a little while ago and haven't had any issues from it.

Same here
Thanks for the quick response Evil.
Wow, describes my predicament PERFECTLY. I have a dual core 2.4 processor and whenever I press certain buttons, such as the construction que button, the computer resets. I got an error message as well saying it was the same exact nv4_disp.dll that was having a problem. I have to play SE5 on my other computer, but then when I try to have massive space battles, it lags like crazy because the comp is an older one.
Wondering
Hrm, thats odd... I'm wondering if having a dual core is making the game run in a way that exposes an otherwise invisible video flaw...
./Sigh, I need to finish my mod and start playing the game so I can see if I'm doing these things... (as opposed to loading it and playing around with ship design and what not)

My other computer uses a dual-core aswell
The other one uses a dual core aswell, but it is not quite as fast and is made by ATI, while the computer having the problem has a dual core made by Intel. That may be the cause of the problem, but I suspect that my memory might also be involved.
None realy
The game like vary many has issues with multi processor computers but turning one off usually solves it. As for the other issue all I can suggest is send a zipped save with as much detail of your set up to and await results as if it can be fixed it will be other than that get yourself a nice cheap second hand Pc of the same spec as your wife’s from a pc recycling place to run it on.
Crash bugs will always take priority
