eAi Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Hi all, we're looking into the exact cause of the freeze bug in 1.1 and we'd like it if people who had it could post their system specs, in particular: OS (Windows version), ammount of memory, processor type (dual core?) and speed, anything else you think might be relevant... Thanks!
ArmedAndDangerous Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 Yes! I have the shittiest system too: Win XP Pro 1.44Ghz Athlon 32-bit (Guess how many cores. One!) Only 256mb of teh shitty ram. 6600 GT Nvidia gfx (not too bad)
Guest Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 yeah i had it, i noticed it was only on popular servers (over 10 playing and i froze within 20 secs, whereas smaller servers of 4 or less people no crashes) windows xp sp2 athlon mp2800 x2 msi k7d radeon 9800xt 1.5G ram
... Posted March 21, 2006 Posted March 21, 2006 I didn't: Win XP Pro SP2 Single core Athlon 64 2GB PC3200 branded memory EAX800XL 256MB

Leviathan Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I got it once in 1.1, and didn't have it anymore in 1.1.1, but if you're searching the cause of 1.1 (isn't it fixed allready then?) my specs: Windows XP Pro x64 SP1 ASUS A8V-E SE AMD Athlon 64 3500+ x1 (standard clock) ASUS EN7800GTX (nvidia GeForce 7800GTX) 4x512mb memory Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4
TonyMontana Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 My game sometimes (most of the time) freezes when i try to disconnect then quit. Alt + tab feature would save me having to hard restart my p.c after every session. Pentium 4 2.66 Mhz (single core) 768Mb DDR 333mhz (1x 512 stick and 1x 256 stick) XFX GeForce 6200 (overclocked) Windows XP home edition Service Pack 2

Aerial Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I had it once, Windows XP Pro Athlon XP 2100+ 512mb memory ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Battlefan Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I had it all the time; Win XP Home Nvidia GeForce Ti 4200 Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHZ 512 mb memory
ogl_009 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I had it. Windows XP Pro Pentium centrino 1.6 GHz 512 MB ram ATI Radeon mobile 9700 (64 mb)
Guest Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 there doesn't seem to be any pattern but if it helps XP Home SP2 P4 3.2Ghz with HT 1 GB ram nvidia 6600GT i also set gta_sa.exe to 8xS AA and 4x AF
BTH Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Happened several times P4 HT 3.0 GHz 1024 Ram Nvidia 6800 GTO WinXP SP2
Guest Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Its seems that all the poeple with anthlon 64 chips have no problems and the people with intel chips have the problems.memory does make a big difference i would suggest 1 GB u can never had enough memory :PGraphics cards don't seem that powerful might need upgrade that or turn off/put down some of the detail settings. HOPE THIS HELPs

HOPE THIS HELPs Interesting... some people said that Intel machines use more CPU than AMD machines when running the server.
wat0n Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 yea well, some people with amd chips (seems that its just k7) also have problems
Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Happens to me too and the hack to stop alt-tabbing is really fustrating in this instance. XP Pro SP2 DFI LanParty NF4 UT AMD 3200+ Venice 1GB DDR600 X800XL blah....
Guest Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 anthlon 64 cpus are better at gaming than intel cpus they also run cooler temps than intel.and use less power.
Leviathan Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I freezed some times recently and it was on buisy servers. after I had a lot of framedrop (wich isn't usual) just a couple of minutes ago I was on a buisy servers with some cheaters in it that were heavily bugging the server, and I ran @ 10fps or something, (or it was the map, unlikely becouse there wasn't built on it) a lot of players crashed before me (probably the same bug). so all times it happened to me (4 times?) was after heavily getting framedrop, and that's maybe why people with athlon processors survive it longer so the chance of freezing is smaller?
NoxxaH Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 anthlon 64 cpus are better at gaming than intel cpus they also run cooler temps than intel.and use less power. AMD is better than Intel on gaming because gaming needs as much resources as possible and AMD processors are cheaper than intel ones. That's why you can get much better than Intel processors for the same price or even cheaper when you buy AMD as your processor. Still Intel ones are very good at overclocking and has better power preformance but the bad thing is only that it has a few problems with the the new games but it isin't a bad processor because of that. Btw when Intel doesn't have problem with a game it works much smoother than AMD but not all processors works the same way so it depends on the game really. And it doesn't use any less power at all, and about coolor temperature depends on what cooling system you've got. This is not Intel's fault that Intel processors doesn't work good with mta

HOPE THIS HELPs I had it and mine is AMD Athlon (the old old variety, maybe they're had similar archtecture to the Intel chips or something)
Guest Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 i had the freez bug in 1.1,very bad couldnt play for 5 min,heres my specs XP Home SP2 P4 2.6GHz 1024 Ram Nvidia 6600 GT i can give you any more info if you guys want,just shout. Ive had no freezes since 1.1.1,so what did u change in 1.1.1 cause the prob stoped instantly,must have changed something?
Guest Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 The anthlon 64 chips are better as they get more done in a clock cycle than p4 chips.as the p4 can have speeds of up to 3.8GHZ the anthlon 64 chips up 3.0GHZ but can easyliy beat p4s.the p4 is good ut the anthlon is better at gaming. this is some info if it helps at all . The K8 cpus seem to be better than the others
erorr404 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 More work per clock != Better. What makes them better is that they are cheaper than their competing Intel processors.
Aidamina Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 I had it continuesly: (sometimes after 2 minutes sometimes after 20 minutes) Laptop: Intel centrino 2,0 ghz 1024 mb ddr2 ram ati mobility radeon x700 256mb 4200 rpm 100 GB hd using usb mouse and both lan / wlan connection
