CP Thanks for your instruction on how to install the drivers... They helped alot once I figured out I had to make the copy else where heh

I think all the temps I've give so far may have to be changed. I'll report back later, but that 72 hour AS5 settling seems to be really kicking in now..

Curious Syn, I've been playing EQ2 as well. I've logged in w/o any problems, and I havent changed any setting (computer or game). Now I go to log in today and every time I click "play" on the launcher I start to hear the music then pc freezes/reboots. Curious if you've run into this at all, thanks.

mcqueen · 11-21-2004, 06:42 PM

Thanks syn hmm wonder why Nvidia put those options in there then locked them out seems like if they where going to build overclocking software into there drivers the least they would do is turn it on lol.

AL im not bored at all.. I dont play constantly though im a mulit tasking person and the P4 HT is fitting that need very well..

I've got a total of less tha 5 hours in the game since the release day...
Over all, just taking it casually....

Now that I got my desktop rebuilt, I might spend more time in it... But with improvements needed to other project, not really seeing much game time..

Nice system Syn, I had considered getting one a few times, but everything I read says the 915 chipset will not support intels 64 bit processors... So it's on to waiting for hte next major Sager release

Im stepping out of the waiting game..but those that need to go right ahead.. This beast meets and beats what I had hoped for... when the day comes and there is a offering better then this one.. with a major increase in proformance.. i'll sell and buy all over again..providing its a Sager :P

Profiler, are you playing on the laptop(9860) or another system? There is alot of issues with EQ..people with older systems have sound problems, chipset problems..you name it...but its usually when you mix old stuff with the new Nvidia/ATI.. The drivers, all of them have to be up to date..from motherboard to sound card. Let me know what your playing. For starters go to your device manager and disable your sound all together and then try to log in and see if you still get the same problem. I'll try to help you but I need more information

Profiler · 11-21-2004, 08:15 PM

Hi,

I'm playing on my new 9860 , pent 3.4, 1gig ram, nvidia 256 GO, 40g hardrive. I logged on when I first got the 9860 with no problem. But since Friday I keep getting booted at start up after hitting play and I've changed nothing on my end since then. So I'm assuming it's their end but if it was everyone would be down?.? maybe?

Synergi · 11-21-2004, 08:55 PM

Hmmm...Im not having any trouble..in fact i've got the game minimize while i post to you...but i've seen this issue somewhere..here it is..try this and see if it helps..

Thanks for the link. It's very odd I just logged off after playing an hour or so with no problems at all. It appears to be totally random. Sometimes it freezes up when I hit play and auto reboots my pc. and sometimes it runs fine (again only in the passed 2 days this has occured (last patch). So I guess its just hit or miss

Synergi · 11-22-2004, 07:43 AM

uh oh think my pictures have been getting to many hits lol

Just to let everyone know. I am running HL2 highest settings on my 9860 and it eats it up. The graphics are beautiful. Really an amazing game visually.
