v1.52 Game freezes after about 2-15 mins of gameplay!

Chances are that the problem lies on your end though.
How obscure it might be is hard to tell.

BTW: disabling "fast-writes" on your video card is also a good thing to do. it offers next to zero performance but becomes much less unstable (for most cards anyway).

Also, if you get crashes, go into your bios and LOWER, yes lower, your memory settings.
Other than that, the most common cause of hard crashes are - as proven again in this thread - overheating.
They should stop fitting 300 or 400$ cards with these 0.00002 cent fan's that brake a week later.

You mean the AGP aperture setting? Hark said it's bad to lower it.

That's what you get for buying a cheapo card

No, I meant memory settings ( latency times etc).


I don't buy cheepo cards.
Alot of them do use crap fans though, I nearly spend more on fans, than the hardware itseld. ;D

Best not to touch these. Leave the settings on auto.

Only in case something goin wrong. On a previous board I had to do it, else it would crash my system ( for no apparant reason).
So, when all else fails...
