Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

Well Im not the greatest computer whiz but have you updated your video card by downloading its latest version from the company site!

Is it giving any error messages or such?

Auto... it lets you put more rounds down range.

Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

Also a thought, click the "verify all files" button when you are loading up COH. Sometimes that will iron things out.

Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

In the eternal words of Homestar Runner, I think I has the solution. if I've said it once, I'll say it again. Turn of the shadows in the options menu. Many people tell me this is an effective way to reduce I4 specific disconnects and freezes. I can tell you, it worked great for me, I had the same problem.

Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

If you can give any details on what the error message is that you're getting, that would be extremely helpful as well.

Unlike Grif and Jeni, I *am* a techie guy. It's what I do for the money that pays for my CoH time. :) Post what you can give me and I'll translate it into human terms.

Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

Be advised that it is almost certainly NOT a virus issue, and in the name of all that is holy, do NOT download any free virus scanning/protection software off of the Windows site.
Hey, it's too late to help myself, but I can at least help someone else.

Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

don't get discouraged... but i do believe it is time you contacted support about this issue... also your error message did not show up, but you will probably need a copy of it to send to support... they are usually very quick w/ getting back to people

Re: HELP! KEEPS FREEZING 

The screenshot you posted didn't come up. Feel free to e-mail it to me at veggiemedley@cox.net.

Also, it might not be a bad idea to follow jeni's advice and contact support.
