NC Freezing

[Fega]

Just came back to NC to try out 2.2 thing is, I can't get the bloody thing working.

I've reinstalled the game, patched it up, but, when I run the game it freezes on the inital loading screen....

Anyone got any ideas? :confused:

Hrmm not sure.... maybe try your connection? or maybe you should email help desk!

Same problem here ... Samsung R55 Notebook, GF Go 7400

If it freezes after the splashscreens it's probably related to your network.

When my ISP is down or bad DNS or unopened port I get that blackscreen

If you have an older videocard which doesnt support DXT texture compression, you cant start Neocron2.

Can you please post your error.log, and your systemspecs.Maybe that helps to find the problem.

Ive had this problem relating to memory values and graphical errors

Video Driver updates
System Reboots
Crying


One of the above may work

[nobby]

if you're crashing on the loading screen, you may have a program conflicting in the background.

I've found it's either MSN, Bitrorrent, Kazaa or other P2P programs.




Please have a check and close background programs accordingly.

Ok, i've

1. updated the nVidia driver to the latest version and also tried a few older versions
2. disabled the local firewall
3. disabled the firewall on my DD-WRT router
4. tried to connect via UMTS
5. wrote rules for the firewalls explicitly allowing connections in all directions, through all ports via UDP and TCP
6. redownloaded and installed neocron again
7. reinstalled windows
8. tried running it in fullscreen and window mode in various resolutions
9. tried running it in DX9 and DX7 mode

in pretty much any combination. The computer is a month old Samsung R55 Notebook (Core 2 Duo, T5500) with 1GB Ram, 120GB HDD and a GeForce Go 7400. It runs Windows XP MCE and HalfLife2 (Deathmatch, Counterstrike), Doom3, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2142 and Guild Wars all work perfectly with max Details and Effects.

Get it crashed on the splash loading screen


End the processes of svchost.exe

if not after restarting the neocron client.exe

Restart your computer and come back here :p
