Why in Spider-Man The Movie PC Game only some levels i go to will freeze? Like the 2nd to last level, etc. Ok i was letting my 5 year old nephew play Spider-Man The Movie PC Game and the first level worked fine without freezing at all. But then when i did this cheat to open all levels i went to some of the levels and some of the levels would like start fine then suddening slow down a lot with sound skipping then suddenly freeze totally. Its really strange. It was like the 2nd to last level and a few others. The 1st level , 2nd, 3rd and some more levels we tried worked fine but not all of them did. But when it freezes its like a hard lockup where i have to restart my computer. BTW all other games i tried worked fine without any hard lockups or freezes so far. Even GTA3, unreal 2003,etc Here are system specs. I am on windows xp pro. btw. Abit KT7A raid mobo Athlon XP 1800+ Leadtek GF4 ti 4400 video card Santa Cruz sound card Maxtor 45 gig 7200 rpm HD ATA 100 dlink ethernet card Antec 330 watt truepower power supply etc *Remember i played all kind of other games like RTCW, quake 3 arean, unreal 2003,NOLF 2, GTA3, etc pretty much and have not had any freezing or hard lockups in those games. * If anyone else has played this game with all levels espically the 2nd to last level just fine without freezing/ hard lockups in some of the levels please tell me your system specs. Thanks. To let you know before someone ask i did install the latest patch for Spiderman The Movie PC Game to see if it would fix my freezing/hard lockup problems but it did not. I also ruled out that its not a heat issue. I just don't understand how some levels on Spider-Man The Movie Pc Game can run fine without any freezing/hard lockups ever and then others do. I just don't get it. Thats crazy! Thanks.

I love the new layout for ntcompatible! Very nice! Its very fast, smooth, and looks good! When i first came here i thought i was at the wrong site lol but then i notice that it changed! Its really cool! I like how the articles on the front page is longer too ! I always ahd to go to news archive a lot sense i sometimes miss a lot of them. Thanks everyone for your great, hard work! Very well appreicated!! Thanks once again!

In-game code I typed in.

adamvjackson sorry to say this but in the first post of this thread i said i installed the latest patch already too. But its ok. I don't mind replying million times or more if i had to.

adamvjackson well i did say in my first post i believe that other games like unreal 2003, gta 3 do not freeze up. I know you did not see it. Thats ok. I will post as many times as you all want me to because i am determined to somehow fix this.

adamvjackson yes.

Ok i recently brought a new athlon xp 1800+ retail processor and a Leadtek GF4 ti 4400 my vivo video card. Ok when i first installed it i was using windows 2000 pro with sp2 i even tried sp3 with it to see if that was my problem but it didn't help anything. Ok but in windows 2000 pro with sp3 i will freeze in games every now and then. It doesn't always happen. Most of the time it happens in 30 mins to 2 hours + in a game. I mean it just totally freezes my whole system. I tried everything to figure it out. Even disabling ACPI. Ok here goes for the strange part. I chose to go to Windows XP because someone told me they had a problem like this and when they went to Windows XP it fixed their problem. So heck i said why not so i did that and guess what? I got no freezing in my games at all. Heck i even ran 3dmark2001SE for like 12 hours if not more. Didn't even freeze in 3dmark2001SE either. I don't get it. Everything is the same when i went to Windows XP. My case sides are still on. I know its not a heating issue if games don't freeze on Windows XP. Thing is i wish i could go back to windows 2000 but i can't sense it freezes in games Did MS do this lol ? Does anyone have the slightest idea how the OS that use the same kernal could have no freezes in games then the other have the freezes ? I don't get it. I mean heck i had ACPI left on in windows 2000 pro just like i have ACPI on in my Windows XP that is working fine. Thanks.

sapiens74 thanks once again! Whenever i try it i will try to let you know if it worked. I guess i will make a new topic or reply in this one.

sapiens74 thanks. i know i did install the via chipsets before when i was trying to fix it for those 30 days. Guess it was not in the right order i am thinking.

sapiens74 ok whenever i get another chance after i backup i will try that thanks. Hope it works whenever i try it. Strange how you have to do it certain order to work. I don't install drivers like that in windows xp to have it work.

DosFreak i have tested out FSAA and AF like that but i still notice no difference. I guess not everyone can see the difference that much.

I see no difference in any games with FSAA or AF filtering onmaximum. I tried quake 3 arena, RTCW, SOF2, Nascar racing games, flying games, GTA3, etc. Saw no difference at all with FSAA and AF off then with FSAA and AF on maximum. I do get a performence hit so i know its working FSAA and AF on maximum. I just can't noitice a difference. I try to play most of the time at 1600x1200 when i can in games. If i can't then i play mostly at 1024x768 or the highest resolution i can play at. I even tried FSAA and AF on maximum at 1024x768 but still saw no difference. I guess i don't look good enough to see the difference or something. Am i the only one that sees no difference with FSAA and AF off to FSAA and AF on maximum in games?

DosFreak ok so with JK2, GTA3, and all the other new games at like 1024x768 i would be missing about 20 to 50 fps without having ddr ram correct? I am sure at 1600x1200 it would still not be a big difference in the newer games. Just tried quake 3 arena at 1024x768 and i get 158.5fps. You get at 1024X768 181.8 fps So thats a 23.3 fps difference. Those 20 fps could say if a game is playable or not at 1024x768 i bet. But i see what you are saying now. Thanks.

DosFreak you have a Leadtek WinFast A250 Ultra (GF4 Ti4600 128mb DDR) C=300Mhz M=650Mhz, DDR ram, and the latest mobo chipset on your Abit KX7-333R mobo i can see. In quake 3 arena with all details on high and at 1600x1200 you get 131.7 fps I just tested my system which is a GF4 ti 4400 overclocked to GF4 ti 4600 speeds (300/650) and at 1600x1200 in quake 3 arena with all details on high and everything on i get 122.9 fps. But i am amazed i get so high because i am on a older Abit KT7A raid mobo with the KT133A chipset, 256 mb of pc133 sdram, and a Athlon XP 1800+. I didn't think upgrading to DDR would only give me around 8.8 more fps more. Thats not even noticeable. I am disappointed that going to a new mobo and ddr would only raise fps a single digit. Thats not worth it to me. But maybe i am wrong. Maybe other games have a bigger 20 to 50 fps increase with ddr ram. But i am not holding my breath that other games would increase more than 8.8 fps more with upgrading to a new mobo and ddr ram.

DosFreak will the GF4 ti 4400 and GF4 ti 4600 beable to do doom 3 with all details on high at 1024x768 with at least at 60 fps minimize frame rates? Could i even go up a higher resolution maybe on doom 3 with all details on high like at 1600x1200? I have a feeling not but thats ok 1024x768 resolution i want at least on doom3.

Ok i am wondering if there is anyway possible to like pause a game then minimize it to check something on your system,checking email, etc. instead of having to quit the game? Thanks *BTW this is imtim83 my new name is imtim2 because i can't get my old name imtim83 to work anymore but its ok.

oK I made sure my resolution on deaktop and in the game were the same. I pressed ctrl alt del while i was in quake 3 area just for a quick test. The taskmgr.exe came up but when i went to a different task like www.ntcompatibile.com website, or my email, etc it would not go to it. I would see it try to come up but quake 3 arena i would still see. I am on a nt os yes. I guess it does not work huh ? One thing i hate is sometimes when you do try to get out of a game by ctrl alt del, or the windows key on the keybaord your whole system will freeze because you can get like stuck in the game.

AlecStaar ok thanks i will go try it real quick! AlecStaar that was surely one quick reply! I love fast replys but i know it does not always happens which is ok. But who doesn't like fast replys you know?
