Hi , Ive had this problem since I bought this computer. I downloaded build 24 and sometimes when I play DP2 it shuts down and says "Paintball has stop working" or something like that.. I dont know is it the computer or the build 24? Got any ideas what could help?

See if you can post the exact message that you are getting.
Also, I take it that you are running Vista? If so, is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

64 bit and its vista.

How to fix it: get xp.

Works fine for me (Vista Ultimate 64 bit).
What do u mean with "sometimes"? Start the game, play, change settings,.... ?
U noticed anything (important)?
-
I bet that you open it but when you enter a map the game first freezes and then crashes, right?
Have you tried running it as an administrator?
-
I mean that sometimes I can play 1 hour without a problem , then it crashes , sometimes i play 2 mins then it crashes , sometimes it doesnt crash at all. Its random , I also have all my settings normal.

Paintball2.exe stopped working...
Checking is there a solution for the problem.
Or something like that.
-
Thats the same message everytime...
Maybe u can find it in the windows event log.

i had the same problem on my vista, the exact same thing byz said happend.

Just throwing out ideas here: Try typing this at the console and see if it becomes any more stable:
seta cl_sleep 1

Jitspoe is there a chance it could be because of the build 24?

Same thing happens on my build 21.

You could try a different version - not sure if that would make a difference, though. Unfortunately if I can't reproduce the issue, it's really difficult to fix. I haven't had paintball2 crash on 64 bit vista.
-
Hey , I just found this is a 32-bit , not 64-bit.
Can anyone help now?
-
Just because how much ram do you have?
When i first got my laptop i only had 512mb of ram running Vista and had a similar problem with dp and other programs.
Pretty much went away when i upgraded to 1Gig of ram.
Death to VISTA!

I haven't played in quite a while, but recently I've had something a bit similar, but with different complications.
When playing it will randomly (even after a few maps) freeze, then my vid card will crash and the screen blanks for a few seconds. Then it will come back up, but Paintball2 will still be (not responding) with just a grey window, so I have to force close it.
Vista Home Premium 64bit
Geforce 86000 GTxxx
It hasn't started but recently, but when I'm back on it in January I will get more details with the version and whatever.
-
Sounds like either a driver or overheating issue.
-
Ok I looked into it a bit more. Apparently its driver nvlddmkm that crashes and recovers and freezes paintball2. Apparently it does it with a bunch of games too... I believe its from an update version, but I'll try to see what I can find. It crashed 2 times on me today in different matches.
EDIT: I believe it may have been from errors in my memory. Yesterday I restarted my comp to only get blank screens. After 4 hours of thinking it was my video card, I pulled one of my ram sticks and it worked fine. I just don't know if its the source of the problem for DP2 tho.
-
Why would memory cause paintball to crash and not something more intense such as halo, css, or crysis? It can't be a driver error since I have tried at least 3 different drivers. This is so annoying. And should be on the top of the list to work on. It makes no sense that my $300 compaq can run this game with no problems but a custom pc with upgraded everything can't play this simple game. If you google the error there are many people who have this problem and many swear up and down they have a fix for it. None of them have worked for me so far. The bright side is that if I can't get it to start working then there is one less non-hacking member gone.
