Freezing in-game

Post by zmohner »

Hey guys,

I doubt anyone here remembers me, as I haven't posted in over a year. However, I just reinstalled Starshatter on my new computer, and quickly learned why I haven't played it in so long--it has the incredibly annoying tendency to freeze my computer at the worst possible times. For example, I had just finished going on a killing spree in my Devastator cruiser in Nightfall, destroying a rather significant portion of the enemy fleet, when (just as I was about to end the mission, of course) the game locked up. Two and a half hours, gone.

If anyone knows how to fix this, please respond. I'm running version 4.5 on Vista.

Thanks.

Starshatter is a pre Vists created game. Therefore, it wasn't tested for use on Vista.
 
I'm not even sure Starshatter:TGS is compatable with Vista.
 
Anybody else out there playing Starshatter or Starshatter:TGS on Vista?

Installing on my laptop now... it has Vista Ultimate


.... stay tuned

Also remember Vista is a memory hog, you'll porobly need at least a 1 gig. to run smooth even with a desent video card.

Other things to try is drop your anti-virus scaners, and shut down some af the junk running in the task manager that you dont need runing.
