RvS Freezing Up

[TrueLT]

Alright this is a problem that I had when I first installed the game. It would run fine for about 10 minutes and after that it would freeze. It only freezes the game itself any programs running underneath Raven Shield are still working. The problem resolved itself after a while but now its doing it again for some reason after I installed the patch.

Any ideas as to what causes that?
I'm running only a 700MhZ processor (a measly 33 under the system reqs) but is there any way I can assign more memory to RvS or something?

You can try increasing the amount of cache the game uses. If I could remember that frame rate page, it listed some memory changes. To change your game cache go to the RavenShield.ini file in your System folder. Next find the line below:

Code: Select all

[Engine.GameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=32

doesn't this "cache" apply to the memory on your video card?

If so i would suggest setting the number to whatever your videocard memory is...... 32, 64, 128, 256(dont think we have these yet)

I have a 32 meg card which is the system requirement bare minimum. Alot of older macs only have a 16 meg video card. (I wouldn't know what to suggest doin if thats what you have).

I heard if you set the cache size bigger than what your video card is might casue pauses in the games becasue it is trying to jam to much info into a small space, so to speak. I havent dabbled with that so i don't know for sure, but it sounds logical to me.

Seems like the cache is for the video card but since his problem was the game freezing up, video card maybe the problem. Although now that I think of it, the problem is probably that he is under the requirements (733 Mhz). I know a few people who had a similar problem with running Ghost Recon.

I got it with a bit of tweaking, when I play without the CD it stops freezing so problem solved.
