Level Three Problem-Crash!

Mon Feb 16, 2004 9:34 pm by jj00820

Love this game until level 3. On the way to save the station, game crashes at about 5k from station. Goes to blue screen says windows shut down to save itself, references:
stop:0x000008e(0x000005,0xBFA366133,0xA907CA9C,0x00000000)
ati3dlag.dll (address:BFA36613,BF9E9000, datestop 3d06a38f)

I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop with 64 mb ATI Radeon IGP 320m video.I did the latest drivers, updates, tried to lower performance and sudio, no luck

Please help. Can this be fixed? Can I bypass this glitch and go to next fight or maybe next level?

Okay on the i think its the 5th or 6th storie mission were you fly through the ice clouds to station Willored with the three crusers that Juni's friend owns. Okay i get to 6.0 k of the station I deturmend this when the crash accures when the games goes to load the objects the blue screen of death apperes for 2 to 3 seconds with some beeps from the computer. Then the computer resets. I have checked the binar error that shows up when xp restarts. It is not a hardwere problem it has to do with the graffics and the load up secence of that mission. It only does this on the willored mission. Any Idea's guys? System is a mobile amd athlon xp 2200 with 200 mgs of sdram with 64mb shard ram ati radeon graphic card. (its a laptop Welcome to College right).If you guys don't have any idea around it could you send me a save afterthat mission to test my system. This problem happen with or with out mods.

HE DIDN't SOLVE IT EITHER, PlEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. HOW CAN I BYPASS THIS SCENE? OR MAYBE SKIP THE LEVEL AND GO ON?

CAN I MOD THE CUTSCENE AND REMOVE IT?

SOLUTION!

After much research, I have determined the following.

The crash and blue screen death caused by mission 3 as you fly towards the station is caused by audio, not video. I decreased the audio hardware acceleration on my laptop under Control pannel/sounds/sounds&audio devices. Then click Audio, then Audio playback, choose Advanced, then performance. I lowered the audio acceleration one notch.

No more problems. I was able to reset all video to high performance, and textyres. The audio seems to cause the crash becuase of the many channels and background features running during the bigger battles of the game.

Hope this helps!
