I just installed Enemy Territory (v1.02 patch as well) in Windows XP
Professional SP2 (all updates). I configured the graphics to all
details up to maximum at 1152x864 resolution. I can play for about five
minutes or more (nice FPS; 50+ FPS). Then, my computer locks up HARD
(can't even ping my XP machine from another box)!
I did hear the sound stutter for about 2 seconds and mutes when
computer locked up hard. I see no graphic glitches on screen. CPU
temperature seems OK (133 degrees(F) was the highest according to BIOS
after the reboot from hard lock up). I doubt it is heat related because
other games (e.g., Far Cry, DOOM 3, Guild Wars, etc.) and cpuburn do
not lock up even during heat waves (85 degrees in my room; CPU had been
up to 142).
I also noticed relaunching ET sets me back to 800x600 resolution and
some video settings were reverted back to defaults. 🙁
I am using an Athlon 64 3200+ with 1GB of RAM, ASUS K8V SE Deluxe (1004
firmware), Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (latest driver), Catalyst driver
v4.10, etc.
Do you have any ideas what is up? I don't know if this is related to
the video driver, sound driver, etc. I already had Fast Write disabled.
Windows' Event Viewer log doesn't show anything. No memory dumps either
(no blue screens I guess).
Thank you in advance.
