Default Re: Freeze problems.

Seem to be several of these so will just say I have to agree with DRG the problem is not the game its your computers.
Sorry but just like a car if you do not maintain service them performance degrades over time till they eventually become unusable.
Do maintain them clean stuff out regulary including the registry updating drivers making sure you need the stuff in startup etc. If you dont do this they naturaly degrade over time, a physical clean from time to time to keep heat sinks etc free is also advisable. I cleaned out a freinds ancient PC sometime back that was similar spec to DRGs as it was running slow glitching. Alls fine with it now its had drivers updated & over 2000 entries removed.
If you are the sort of person that downloads demos etc need to do this frequntly most things do not uninstall properly you need to manually check after or your computer is soon filled up with rubbish they leave behind.
There are some graphic possibly sound issues with some operating systems system setups but the Camo games are otherwise very stable in my view I often have 3-5 other things running & the only thing I have ever noticed is on very rare occasions one unit will be a bit slow when I move it. Only 1 other game I own lets me do this the others tend to have far higher overheads or just lock because they expect to hog the system.

When you say the old one is a bit laggy you don't tell us any details about it so how are we to help you with your problem ?.

My computer is over 10 years old running XP but both it and the video card were built for Me, it's a 586 processor with 384 MB of total memory running at 797 mhz and I can run the game, Paint shop pro, Outlook express and internet explorer as well as a text editing program and MOBHack all at the same time and it's not "laggy" as you discribe at all and only get's "laggy" if I try to run MBT and WW2 at the same time . You also don't say what you have the graphics and move delay set to.

You don't tell us any info about the new computer nor do you tell us why if you have noticed the original install has "slowly degraded" why you haven't tried re-installing. We know that frequent use of ctl-alt-delete will cause problems with the game that requires a re-install so it's not a stretch to think if you have had the game frequently freeze up for whatever reason that this might cause problems to. What you discribe is not normal. If it was we'd be flooded with complaints like this

You say you have " scanned everything " but what does that mean ?? That you have scanned for viruses or you have defragged your HD and run scandisk ??

Let's start there. Delete your installation of both games, defrag your HD and re-install the games. Tell us what happens

Since I am in a bit of a hurry, I'll have to restrict myself to saying thank Yoy very much, gentelmen, for all the counselling. I took everything into consideration and despite the fact that most of the ideas were of no regard to my hardware & software status it helped me a lot to reassess the overall situation. I thoroughly had gone over the most meticulous scrutiny and aferwards the machine has been working flawlessly. I know that it's a relatively short period of time to be over the moon just like that but I have tested the equipment quite harshly and if the problem persisted it would have struck again and again - and it did not and haven't up 'til far. So far, so good. Thanks a lot everybody again. Long live the community.
