awergh Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 (edited) On my computer ive been finding that when game use directX they tend to freeze for example when I run Unreal Tournament with DirectX it will freeze after a while but if i use OpenGL it works. Even games like AOE2 will freeze.Pentium III733 Mhz256MB RAMWindows 98SE/XP ProNvidia Gforce 4 MX 420 PCI Edited September 3, 2006 by awergh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Do you have the latest drivers for your video card, sound card and so on. Also does your video card support the Direct X versions of the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I am refering ot the cards support direct x versions, such as my current on supports Direct X 9c and my older one supports Direct X 8.0 some of my DX9 games do not work on the card due to its lack of DX9 support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
