good to hear that. We have very rarely hardware problems with BOA, and I confess that for now it has never been proved that it was the game "fault".quikstrike98 wrote:Well I took a while to respond as there were a few things I wanted to do to see if I could correct the problem--and they did.
definitively a sign that your video card is the source of all graphical glitches, as BoA uses DirectX 8 call, and DirectX 8 is out and stable since a very long time.First, I cranked up my RAM from 512MB to a Gig. Secondly, I updated the drivers for my Radeon 9600 graphics card. This corrected some bugginess I'd seen with the graphics as well (game would start out okay, but then town names etc would start flickering).
I would say that your video card is still the source of the problem, as there is no previous report of this sort. Have you tried running the game in windowed mode with AGESettings? On the second tab, specify a screen resolution with a window border for example.Game was stabilized, but then restarted my system yet *again*. Figured out the problem--I had left my Yahoo messenger running in the background when I launched the game. A second reboot of my system occured when my Weatherbug program attempted to give me a weather update alert. Bottom line: at least on my system, BoA is *totally* intolerant of other programs running in the background while BoA is running.
It can happens because you are low on disk space either on the windows partition, or on the partition where BoA is installed. It can also be caused by "fake reports", ie the video card need more RAM that it has, and thus get virtual RAM from windows, but don't mark it as released once BoA shut down. On some computers, windows can get it back, on some others it will be reported as missing. Another hint I would say that your video card is fragile.Another thing: Have there been any issues of BoA having a memory leak problem? A few times, I have exited out of BoA after several hours of playing, only to get a message once out of the game, that my virtual memory is running extremely low...
