Head Mahone Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 Hey Fellas, My Brother is having a bit of a problem with his computer running Combat Mission. Here's the setup: DELL 500 MHZ 128MB RAM 16MB TNT Video Card --------------------------------------------- Windows 2000 freshly installed about 3 weeks ago. There are hardly any other applications installed at this time and no other games. DirectX 8 Latest video drivers from Nvidia. Combat Mission (medium install) with patch 1.12 All of the Microsoft patches i.e. service packs and the lot. --------------------------------------------- The weird thing is that he can play scenarios and QBs. But when he clicks "Join Network Game" and then tries to load a PBEM file it crashes. C.M. doesn’t even let him select a PBEM file, it stack dumps and reboots his computer before showing the PBEM directory. As always, I'll wait for your much-appreciated advice. Thanks, Head 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted April 2, 2001 Share Posted April 2, 2001 It seems to be a strange association, but... What version of the NVidia Detonator drivers is he using ? I know in the past that some people had problems with "multiplayer" in CM and changing/updating their NVidia Detonators fixed it for them. You can get some of the latest drivers from here: Reactorcritical (go to TNT/TNT2/GeForce section and make sure you download a driver for Win2K and not Win9x/ME. You may also want to try one of the 7.xx series Detonators - 11.x is the latest series): http://www.reactorcritical.com/download.shtml [This message has been edited by Schrullenhaft (edited 04-02-2001).] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four Stringer Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 I think your bro needs to do a full install of CM for multi-player games. I'm at work, so I cant' check the documentation, but I think that may help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
