Guest Faiin Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Ever since the latest update EL keeps crashing, then my puter locks up. I restart and yada yada, it may work for hours or for only a few minutes. Does anyone know why? I followed the instructions for a new install to the T. Here is what I am running. XP Pro 1G Ram 2.1 GHZ Amd Athlon 256 Radeon 9800 Norton 2004 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minardus Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Try deactivating your antivirus when logging in. It worked for me. Once you're in the game you can activate it again and the game keeps running. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derin Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Ok, then start disabling other features, like Shadows, Cloud shadows, mipmaps etc. Do them one by one til you get your FPS to a decent level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
