Punk buster and Vista
Yes, that's right, another problem with punkbuster and Vista =/ After say, 25-30 mins of gameplay on battlefield 2142 pressing the esc key crashes the game, so does a map change. Also after 45 or so mins the game crashes anyway. If either of these crashes happen My comp gets a complete recourse lock up and I have to restart it via the button. It worked fine when I had xp but since getting a vista comp this is what happens (Means I don't play it much, lol) This problem might have already be addressed but looking through 142 pages for a thread about this is a bit too much lol. I've recently wanted to start playing 2142 again but it's kinda hard when it keeps crashing all the time, when I'm in the middle of destroying the enemy Titan _ -- Elite879 |

Punk buster and Vista
Two things.
142 pages in a thread is how most of us have to find the answers, what makes you think you're not going to get to enjoy the fun in that? ....and also, what makes you think its punkbuster? Are you running something you shouldn't be? I haven't read about Vista giving large amounts of issues to punkbuster (it's used in more games than battlefield). "Elite879" wrote in message ...

Punk buster and Vista
As always, start with making sure you have the latest patch for your game
installed. Punkbuster did have some compat issues with Windows Vista at release, but they've been fixed for some time. -- -Chuck Walbourn SDE, XNA Developer Connection This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warrenties, and confers no rights. |
