Well, I'll be playing renegade and for some reason it will crash.
Now this happens 24/7, basically the game freezes and then i get an error.

Ive had this problem for about a year now just been doing some checking around and shit, like to see if it was a hardware problem etc.. now i know its not all that ive ran outta ideas.

Anyone care to help?

Start -> Run -> eventvwr

Look for any red X's in any of the sections that match the date/time of the crash.

If you find a match, post it up.

Try closing down everything that you don't need aswell. Things like mIRC and MSN, I'm not saying they're causing it, but they might be. (PC's can be fickle things sometimes)

Apologies for the late reply, I forgot about this topic Sad (ty for the PM)

I have to suggest re-installing Renegade sadly. From those screenshots, it looks like there is a serious problem with your install.

Try it without RenGuard for a bit if you can.

Did you do anything before you started having these problems, such as installing a program, updating a driver, etc? Does the problem only occur with ren or has it happened with other applications? Have you done virus and malware scans recently to make sure your computer isn't infected with anything? Maybe try cleaning your registry or running windows update and as light said try running it without any other programs running.

-EDIT-
I just noticed that you have been having this problem for a year. As much as I hate to say it your best bet may be to backup any important data and reinstall windows.

EDIT : Yes this only happens with Renegade... I can play FEAR, FarCry AoE3 and it will run without dying on me.

Try latest drivers for all your hardware.

I'm sorry, but this one has me stumped.

Care to give some more info? about hardware ecta..

Also I think I know the solution, if you don't mind formating once more.


-Reinstall Windows, Install sp1. Don't install Sp2.
So no slipstreaming or whatever.

Install Renegade, but install a good firewall and antivirus.
Because without sp2 you will mis alot of fixes, but I think that this wil fix the problem. Try this, and tell me what hapens.

Hardware info:

AMD XP3000+ (2.175Ghz)
Mobo; I dont know (came with comp)
2x 40GB
DVD/RW
CD/RW
Nvidia FX5950 Ultra 256
No Floppys
Intagrated sound card (AC'97)

As for sp2..

Before i formatted i had XP Home with SP1.. I dont personally think that SP2 is worth having, but i got my hands on XP pro corp and it auto installs SP2..

So i dont know if reformatting will help..

But ill try and get back.

tbh, the problem is SP2 I think, so try to get your hands on a Windows XP Home or pro, without sp2 then Istall Ren First. If this isn't the case. Then I have the feeling it has to do with you gfx drivers. New games do require updated gfx drivers, but for old games this does not count. Because New drivers isn't always the best as they do not support a Game like Renegade in it anymore.
Sp2 seems to be having ''problems'' with older programs, atm alot of develepors and company's have fixes, but Ren doesn't so your going to have to try this.


Also, I see that your running Windowed Mode, does it hapen without too?
@ random Renegade crashes. Renegade crashes once in a while, but it is not to crash as often as this guy has. A way to dicrease Renegade crashing is by lowering the gfx to 640x480 detail, and by running it on 16bit lowest. This is how I could play Ren 24/7 without it crashing once. When you run higher detail it will crash more. But still it should be like once or 2 a day assuming you play the entire day. Sometimes it doesn't hapen at all.

It shouldn't be a problem with SP2. If it was, this would be far more common. Mine never crashes like that on either rigs, although sometimes it just reboots the whole PC.

Latest drivers shouldn't be a problem either, I have Nvidia's latest, and they don't crash.


There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

Try going back to full mode. When I used to use windowed mode, the game would crash every time I took a screenshot.

T-Bird suggested it was SP2 so i did reformat with my Home Ed(sp1)But that didnt make any diff what so ever.. You also suggested about my drivers, well i've had this problem for a year and there has been plently of *New* drivers* since then.

I play in both windowed and non windowed..

Ive spoke to other people and they suggested for me to turn of the audio acceleration and now it crashes maybe 4x per day and not like 4x per map...
