CF Bug - 001

 

I dont really see the need for a format here, the entire computer simply freezes randomly, mostly at the galaxy map, sometimes even before the game has started, then if waiting long enugh pops up a bluescreen with the common nv4 error (its the nvidia driver causing the bluescreen).

I'm using the 81.98 drivers on a Geforce 6800, Win XP SP2, SB X-Fi Platinum, P4 3.6ghz HT enabled. Well i guess that's all you need to know, im sure this is a known issue and that nvidia is working on it as we speak.

-Repeatability (100% 3/3 attemts)

 

-Platform:

AMD Athlon XP 2800+

Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 126mb (AGP version)

1024mb DDR-ram

onboard sound

Windows XP prof. SP1

 

-Error Type: Freezing

 

-Location: tutorial mission 1

 

-Language: demo in english, windows in dutch

 

-Description:

So I come home, go upstairs, turn on the comp, start the tutorial, and bam! after about 5 minutes it freezes.

Ok so that was a disappointment but nevertheless, I rebooted and tried again, bam! same thing happened at about the same time.

(note: not triggered by something ingame, I was slightly farther on into the mission this time thanks to knowing what to do)

Ok so I figured I'd update my drivers, just did that, turned down the graphics somewhat just because I was cautious and still, when I started the tutorial, bam! and my system froze.

 

-Steps to reproduce:

1. start game

2. start tutorial mission 1

3. watch comp freeze after about 5 minutes

 

[EDIT] Fixed by a reinstall.

-Error Type: computer restart

 

-Location: galactic conquest

 

-Language: demo in english, windows in english

 

-Description:

OK so everytime I try to play the game my computer restarts.  I can sit and watch the menu for as long as I like, but as soon as I enter Galactic Conquest, it freezes and then the computer restarts.  When I get back to my desktop, the resolution has been changed, which makes me think its a video problem, but my drivers are updated.  I've tried playing 4 times, reinstalled, and tried 3 more times always with the same result.

 

-Steps to reproduce:

1. start game

2. start galactic conquest

3. watch comp freeze after about 5 seconds and then computer restarts

Problem:

 

 

I get this exact same problem too.

 

System:

 

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002

HP Pavilion Intel Pentium 4 CPU 1.70 GHz

ATI Radeon 9550

 

Description:

 

Game freezes, minimizes, and a window pops us saying the following:

 

Exception!

 

An exception has occurred. See _logfile.txt and _exept.txt for details.

 

On rare occasions, it crashes and restarts the computer as well, but I'm guessing that's a system problem seeing that it happens on other games too. Anyone know anything about Paging File Size? If so, what would you reccomend for my system?
