Hi all. No I am not 'Just In' LOL I get that alot. Anyway, a buddy of
mine just got a new PC. It's a P4 3.2 GHz, Asus motherboard, PCI Express, Radeon x600, DDR2, SATA, XP Pro. Pretty stout box. However he can't stay in world for more than 5 minutes without locking up solid. He is on a dial up (yeah I know, kinda a waste). However he can play Combat Flight Sim, use Photoshop, download large files with no issues. Someone at the helpdesk or whatever told him he should look in the system event logs and that was all they could do to help. LOL useless. Someone didn't want to work that day I think. The issue should have been escalated to a higher level support staff or developer if there is no other support. Now I know at one time, way back, I was told to drop a switch on the command line for AW or do something with the INI that would result in a log (aworlds.log) logging a lot more info than it would normally which helped me debug an issue once with my video card. Is there still such a switch or a debugger or might anyone have any ideas that might help? Regards, Justen System locks up, please help.Nov 18, 2004, 8:55pm
Yeah latest Direct X, SP2, and ATI drivers. Microsoft Flight Sim runs fine.
He says in many worlds he can run fine. He says CNW almost awlays locks him up and certain worlds in AW he thinks off certain servers. Is it possible to narrow it down, if I can get the list of bad vs good? Does AW have any issues with PCI Express? Thanks much for the link to the debug log by the way!

Thanks for your experience.
We have gone from 4.09 -.10-.11. Think I should have him go back? I wonder how far back they go supporting PCI Express. The weird part, he thinks it does not occur on AW servers but on non AW servers Quote from him "The worlds in AW are "Victoria" and "Aureus" They are Gorean worlds, but I am not. I just like to chat with the people there, and the objects and building are wonderful. The worlds in Cnw are Lydius, (which is a closed world which won't help you much) and not sure of the other,, think it was Picky O's or somet hing like that. I have not been in there since the frist few lockups." Is there something they may be doing that kicks up an error? [View Quote] |
