dont install the 1.2 patch . goto the 1.3 ..but its all online fixes. .. mabie you should install the catilist 3.1 for your card.. and if you have a via chipset put the latest 4in1 on.

alson have no virus scanner running when you play it..its a nown bug.

ok i have installed the latest patch 1.3 and i was playing it last night and it didnt hang once, i think i have the latest drivers on my system for my card, would the soundcard have anything to do with it???

how about the jumpy video??

would direct X 9 Beta make it any better??

hopefully i can upgrade to a 128Mb Geforce 4 soon hehe!

forget direct x 9 beta..the full version is on microsofts site.

also double check you have no virus scanner running ..

if it does it again... reinstall the game and 1.3 patch. after you have the 4in1s on.
