Just got the game and it's great! However, I've played 3 training missions so far. Desktop is set at 1024X768X16 and I set the game up for that resolution. BTW, I'm running an Athlon XP 2100, w/512 MB DDR Ram, GeForce4 Ti4600 and SB Audigy. I run no background programs in system tray other than systray, explorer and "Prismsta" (D-Link wireless adapter utility for my wireless network).
The first mission played through okay, (I was sunk). The next time I was about 10 minutes into the mission and it totally froze my machine. I had to use the reset button to start up the computer. The third time I set the in-game resolution to 800X600 but the same thing happened again, so many minutes into the mission. At that point I saved a copy of my dxdiag file and emailed it to support@warfleet.com. Haven't heard anything yet, but I sure hope they can figure out what the prob is 'cause this game is sweet and I'm dying to play it. If anyonehas any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Can't say I'm having this problem with other recent games I've gotten. My system's pretty stable. I have the latest video card drivers, not sure if my Audigy drivers are the most recent. Anyone know off hand what the latest version is for the SB Audigy?
Thanks in advance for the help.
