Hi all,

I’ve been lurking around these forums for some months now and finally I’ve registered to cry out for help.

I purchased FL (US-version) here in Germany a few days after its release in the states and everything went fine … so far. After playing the demo without any flaws and completing the story in the full version, I’ve been experiencing regular system lockups after playing the game for twenty minutes or so. The screen freezes with a high pitched sound in the background.

The most amazing … I have to reboot 2(!) times to get it up running perfectly again !
After the first reboot , my system locks up again right after the procedure has finished.
I recently updated my drivers for video and sound but to no effect. A reinstall of FL didn’t help either.

My system is a little older but, as I mentioned before, right at the beginning the game ran fine for dozens of hours.

No laughing please:

AMD Athlon 900
GeForce 256 (41.09)
SB Live! Value
256 Mb SDRam

ZoneAlarm 3.1. is sometimes running in the background, although I’m never connected to the Net while playing.

Please let me know if you need any further information from me.


Thanks in advance,
