Slider, can you provide to us the following to help diagnose the problem:
1) what game is doing this and is it patched?
2) a little information about your PC: CPU (speed & RAM), operating system, graphics card (& drivers if known), sound card, harddrive free space, etc.?
Come on, tell us. We can take it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
hi everyone,
this sounds exactly like the problems i've had since installing the patch for VI... a beep at startup, then the screen freezing at the main menu (i can see the windows mouse pointer moving about, but the total war arrowhead pointer is stuck). even ctrl/alt/del doesn't work when it's in this state and i have to power off
i'm running a nvidia geforce (200x or something), XP, athlon 1.3ghz, 512mb, yamaha dsp factory soundcard
the problem only happens the second and subsequent times i play after a fresh install and patching... if i go back to v2.0 the problem disappears again (along with my social life)
cheers
A big hello to you BigDave. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif Thanks for dropping by and sharing your experience with the patch. There seems to be more of these kinds of situations with the patch. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif I've downloaded it but not installed it yet. I may wait a bit before installing.
