Game freezes

[GORE]

hello,

since the new update its been impossible for me to even play 5min of KF without the game stopping completely. sometimes happens as i join a server, the perk effect text wont even scroll along or it just says at top 'awaiting server status', or it could happen minutes into a game, where everything stops then after 30sec i may see something move slightly, only to freeze again. any help will be greatly appreciated.

iv increased my cache size, defragged and verified game cache. still not working.

 

[Zetsumei]

what are your system specs.

And how much memory does kf use for you?

 

[GORE]

specs should be above recommended:

intel duo 2.66ghx
2gb ram
ati hd 2900 xt

do you need me to find out how much memory is being used by KF still?

 

[Zetsumei]

Would be nice, i just want to see if there are some connections.

 

[GORE]

thanks man. not sure if i did this right, i ran the game then brought up task manager. says mem usage is 286,456k. i then tried joining a game, which froze, and mem usage went up to over 1,000,000k.

When i started to play i didnt have any problem at all for about 5 hours , then after i started it i could play about 2 hours and get a freeze needed to restart pc couldnt go back to windows then around 1 hour and so on , now it freezes up just after the first 5 min of the game starts...

oh yeah killing floor was using more than 1,234,034 K of memory and it was raising up so i closed it before it froze

other games i play never go higher than 700,000 K aprox...

 

[Zetsumei]

You could try this, just replace all words saying redorchestra with killingfloor.

ill try but i dont know how much memory my vid card has, how much CacheSizeMegs should i input if i have a gtx 285 nvidia?

 

[Nor]

i did all the instructions said but wasnt sure how much memory allowed to use so i just gave it 64 , after that i saw memory not passing from 650,000 K but the game still froze after 2 min getting in a game...

 

[Zetsumei]

for a test can you try setting every setting to low (i know you can handle it on high). But if it works then, there probably is some option in the menu that causes your issue. And then things can be turned on till you get it again.

 

[Nor]

just tested it with lowest graphics configuration and memory didnt pass from 500,000k but it froze the same way as before...

very thankful for being helpful zetsumei or at least trying so far...

 

[nath2009uk]

When you changed to low, did you change the uhm, graphics renderer or whatever its called in the options menu?
Changing it from Dx9.0 down to just 'directX' fixed a couple of errors I had, while disabling a couple of graphical features.

 

[Zetsumei]

That is worth trying as well:

tried that but same problem , havent tested software or making killing floor start with direct x 8 :/...

right now im a bit tired of testing will be back later :_(

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

I have about the same configuration as the OP.

I tried everything mentionned here and nothing has solved the problem.

There's something wrong with the new update that seems to affect people with higher end PC. I played before the update and everything was fine then.

 

[Zetsumei]

Can both of you name the exact driver details for your videocard? And try updating to the latest version + latest version of directx ?

 

[GORE]

my vid drivers are up-to-date, 9.10 (im on xp) and im running directx9c. pretty sure they are both the newest available. i can post my dxdiag if it will help.

currently reinstalling the game and i'l go through all your recommendations after.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

All my drivers are up to date.

Anyway...I know the problem does not come from my computer. Tripwire messed something up with the lastest update. I have no more time to waste with this until they recognize the problem and fix it.

I am receiving the same errors since new update - my specs are below
