Captain Wacky Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 When I try to host a TCP game, my opponent and I are able to make the intitial connection, but then my machine reboots shortly thereafter when the screen is "loading 3-d graphics." I'm running an Athlon 1900 with 512 Ram and windows XP. I'm on an ethernet connection to the internet Don't know where to begin solving this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 You only have this problem with a TCP/IP game ? Can you browse the internet while CM is loaded ? What network card and video card do you have ? I'd guess that somehow you either have some software that is interfering with CM's TCP/IP session or that there is a driver problem between the network card and the video card, possibly because they're configured via ACPI which forces IRQ sharing (which some drivers don't fully cooperate with). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can minimize CM and browse the internet or chat without any problems. I'll try updating or using some older video drivers and see what, if any effect that has. I am using a GeForce3 Ti 500 vid card and 3com Ethernet card [ February 28, 2002, 08:59 PM: Message edited by: Captain Wacky ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wacky Posted March 1, 2002 Author Share Posted March 1, 2002 Well I updated to nvidia 27.50 or .51 or somefink and got into a game. Hopefully the trend will continue... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
