Crash problem

[Thief13x]

I recently have got my computer to work again after 2 weeks ago when the hard drive went copoopoo. Anyway, i was running windows xp and have windows me on the shelf and decided to use it instead (cuz xp sucks). Anyway, ever since i started playing thievery again, my fps have been greatly increased up to almost water smooth. lag is still the same but my biggest annoyance is the crashes. I get randomly disconnected about every 5 to 10 minuets, manytimes getting dced from a game 2 or 3 times. I always have got dc'd in the past but never this much! Im hoping somone here has an anwser to help stop this mad dc because its really putting a damper on the whole thievery expeirience. Thanks

Right. :?
Me has a memory-leak problem. Me is tha baddest OS since... eh, ever!

Well, I'm not saying that ME is causing the crashes though...

If you want a stable OS, and you hate XP, try Windows 2000. Best ever.

Everyone has the crashes I think, I crashed three times last night as well, and I only played for an hour or so... and I don't mean server crashes...

Well, Thief13x gets randomly disconnected every 10 minutes. That's not normal at all.
Maybe you should take a screenshot of the error-message, and post it here Timmy . . .

No, but I'm setting up a TUT-server on Linux.

Me has a memory-leak problem.

Thief13x I sympathise fully with you on this, PC's are the greatest.... when they are working :x

Mode2 is right, could you post the error message you recieve when your Dc'd and the game crashes? We might be able to help more that way.

Thievery SHOULD NOT crash at all, I don't understand why so many of you post here having problems with it, Thievery is solid as a rock on my machine and has crashed a total of one times! (dont hate me because i'm beatiful! :lol: )

I would suggest setting aside some time one day and trying the following... one by one...

1) Play thievery in solo mode, do the crashes occour then? if so then perhaps it's a problem with UT and TUT? Try disabling the following in your config for TUT

Direct X stuff (Direct Sound, input etc..)
Mouse smoothing
EAX, Hardware Surround
even try lowering your GFX settings or disabling hardware graphics altogether, even if it does look like doggy mush, play it and see if the crashes still happen, if they don't then update you drivers for your GFX card.

2) if you CAN play thierey in solo without the crashes then maybe your connection settings are dodgy? so try these :-

Are your connect problems ONLY dodgy in TUT? if so then check your TUT settings

if not, check your windows settings for your modem (I know u use modem!)

I'm sorry I can't be more help 13x, post ANY errors you get here and I'll do my best.

Thief13x, have you considered removing mOdEtWo? Maybe HE is causing the crashes... :ebil:

He is located in "Add/Remove Programs"/"Add/Remove XP owned components" :joking:

[Thief13x]

aight, i shoulda made this a little clearer. The crashes are NOT ut or Thievery crashes they are server crashes, I am getting dc'd from a server every 5-10 minuets (not exagerating)...So i know it can't be anything to do with switching os's and i havn't done anything to my connection exept reinstall it when i reinstalled windows. Oh and machine, Now that i reinstalled windows i lost all of my favorites in internet explorer :sweat: so if you could provide me with "thelink" it would be much appriciated. :thumb:

(Win ME rulz! XP sucks! Win2000 RULZ!, cuz xp always crashes and i can't hack it to use on more than 1 computer (pisses me off cuz i have 8) 8)

[LaughingRat]

I doubt it's a server crash if you're getting disconnected. When the server crashes, EVERYONE gets disconnected, not just you. What TheMachine is suggesting would help isolate your problem, so someone can troubleshoot it better. From your description, though, it sounds like the problem is in your connection, either your ISP's network, or your own network settings.

[modetwo]

How's your network from your PC to the wall? Do you have any "non-intelligent" hub's? Sharing the line with others?

You MUST be joking! I've installed mine on more than 8 computers... but wait... I DO work for Microsoft, that's why I can and you can't! :ebil:

BTW by tommorow morning two MIBs will be knocking on your door... yours and freaky alien's door :ebil: :joking:

[Thief13x]

Ha! work for microsoft and play thievery? i heard somewhere that billgates is so rich it wouldn't be worth his time to spend 3 seconds to bend over and pick up a 100 dollar bill....its true. Anyway, i am not sharing my connection through a network so its not that, also it appears that i am now disconnecting from the server (at least Crackaz i havn't had time to try other) every time the map switches, so once it goes into the score screen it dc's me. Also i forgot to mention that this didn't happen before my computer crashed, it all ran fine... :P

[Ghostly apparition]

ok I want to relate something that just happened to me.
I was having some probs with internet explorer, homepage screwing up
etc. also in thievery when i would load it . It wouldn't show me the servers
that were online.
Now I have windows XP now i know some of you don't like
it , because u can't hack it? Run it on more than one machine?
anyway now how do i solve my probs?
well with windows XP there is a feature called system restore
,i'm not talking about reformatting but instead setting the computer to a previous time when it did work correctly. whadda ya know it works fine now
explorer no probs thievery? browser now working also
so bad mouth XP if ya want but seems to me the best os
that redmond has put out to date.
I have heard that 2000 is good but heard horror storys about
windows ME

You're probably not disconnecting from the Crackaz server on a mapchange. Mapchanges on our server are currently taking a long time due to a problem with the server's harddrive. We hope to have it solved by the end of the week.

Actually i also have to manually reconnect sometimes, like i did in practice after most maps... :roll:

Yeah, but the problem is solved on the practice server.

First of all, BOTH XP and ME suck, but ME moreso than any operating system I've ever seen. I had it standard on my computer, and it crashed playing solitare. That was the worst thing ever! No wonder there is NO SUPPORT FOR IT ANYWHERE? I now have Professional, and while better, it still suffers from the same old Windows problems. *Ugh* Run yourself Linux, and just dual boot a windows OS just for games. Linux DOES NOT CRASH, ever. No stupid Blue screen o' death anymore for me! :angel:

Bill Gates < Me. I Ownz Bill Gates like a true h4x0r, d00d.

P.S. - Only good Windo$ OS, Win2000/WinData Center ED. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Would you mind explaining to me WHY Windows XP suck?

[Thwark]

windowsXP sucks because it allows you to post techHelp threads outside the TechHelp forum, yo.

i would just move this thread, but i think that since it's a big "OMG MY OS IS BETTER THAN YOURS" thread, i'll just close it.
