damned renny, buggy pice of /&%$)(/&&!
if renny would not be the best FPS game ever, i would throw it into the trash.

my renny keeps crasheng to desktop Sad

sometimes after 10 seconds sometimes after 2h Sad

first it got a 2 second freeze and then it switches me to desktop without any warning or information.

i use winxp prof sp2 and all hotfixes, got a gf6800 grafik with latest original drivers.

it happened to me in the past, but just a couple of times ... since i reinstalled my OS and renny it happens every day a couple of times.

w00t?

isn't progress fucking great?

Renny isn't the best engine I agree, but if you configure it right.. it should crash like once a day (On high detail)

Before this, when it didn't crash that often. What drivers and Version of XP sp1/sp2 where you using? Bassicly what I'm saying here, did you update anything? besides the reinstall or did you reinstall Ren after sp2? to find the cause.. you need to go back to where it still worked fine.

at the time when it still worked, what software/hardware where you using?
most imporant driver versions, bios updates, service packs. ecta.

Someone with a simmilair topic. (Problem) http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=17795&a mp;start=0&rid=2368

ok i was a bit harsh, basicly its not the fault of the program ... its the missing support, there no patches to fix anything Sad

... and we all know there is much what would need a fix.

back to the problem.
the problem is, that i stoped playing renny a while ago ... and now i did return to it cuz there is no multiplayer game what is as good as renny ... so a couple of things have changed since i launched renny without any problems ... changed grafix, changed drivers to new versions, added updates for windows etc.

and for the thread you linked ... well, i dont get any message, and there is no entry inside the eventlog ... it just kicks me back to my desktop.

Did you change video cards? renegade does NOT like new video cards unfortunately. Also new video card drivers for an old card is sometimes a no go. Why? Beats me...

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Renegade doesnt like *New* ATI cards, all of the new Nividia Cards, including using SLI work with renegade.
