Post by: oneeyedwilly on September 18, 2005, 12:26:59 AM

im having problems with the pb maps starting. ex: i hit the play button, join a server and it goes thru the cycle of loading the map and textures ect..., then at the end of the download(before your in the server) , it just stops and locks up my computor. i have deleted the game and re- downloaded alpha 13 but with no luck.  anyone with any ideas or solutions ,i'd appreciate it  .)

well to tell u the truth, any advice i give u frm this point forward is comin straight frm my ass and u following it might harm more than help u. If i were u, ide d/l All Seeing Eye and use it instead o the default maplist thingy.

What happens if you already have the map installed?  http://dpball.com/files/maps

Also, try starting up a server on your own.  It could be the video card drivers locking up your computer when the map loads.  What video card do you have, and what drivers are you using?  You might need to update.

have you tried using  Game Spy Arcade. Sometimes although I know not why it helps. Also do you still have q2 try that.

Did you figure out what the problem was, or did it just magically go away?
