Help for a friendA friend of mine is having trouble with his CoH, wondered if any of you could help:
| Quote: | | Running Company of Heroes on an ATi Radeon x1950Pro with 1GB of RAM and under comfortable settings (game runs very well). However the game randomly (so it seems) decides to lock up to a black screen. The music continues to play in the background and the cursor is moveable - and the game does not lag before presenting the black screen, it simply cuts out. Any ideas, and any files you require? |

has your m8 update his gfxdrivers recently ?
if not update them
if he did uninstall them and see if that changes something .
as a rule i only update gfxdrivers when the old ones aren't good enough anymore . i rahter have a stable system then cutting edge crap
does the problem survive a alt-tab out and in ?

graphics drivers is the most likely culprit, start off by reverting to the drivers shipped with the card then work up to the newest release of catalyst drivers.
ask him also if he has enabled fastwrites in the BIOS?
