Game crash when Quit

**Allexx** · 01-02-09, 11:55 PM

Ok, So I looked in forums and the problem seems to be driver related in the other posts...however I have now updated my drivers and still have a problem with crashing and freezing up each time I quit.
I have Vista 32 bit Ultimate
P5N-D 750I LGA 775 mother board
150 Gig Raptor Hard Drive
4 Gig Corsair Ram
2x Asus Geforce EN8800GT video cards set up in SLI
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz Wolfdale
I have used the Asus site and updated the chipset driver to v15.24.
The video driver is 180.48 for Geforce Vista 32 bit.
Not sure what else to do or update to correct this crashing problem.
Any ideas?

Alex

Rolled back to 178.24 and it worked once...then crashed the next time.
Any other ideas?

Lets just make sure you've done the multicore fix as well, L4Ds implementation of it is bugged bad.

Turns out it was zone alarm for me, i dunno if you guys have ZA but if you do, uninstall it then give it a bash...

it might work for you or it might not...

Ahhh good call, I have zone alarm! I'm not keen on uninstalling it until I have a replacement.

What internet security you using now? or do you know any thats good and free?

i switched to using outpost firewall now, its not free though

you could try COMODO firewall its basic package is free and comes with antivirus.

theres more out there but thats about the only ones im aware of :S.

If you have a router between you and the internet you don't really "need" a software firewall, as the router has a hardware one built in (NAT).

Brilliant, yeah I have a router plus I have VISTA which has Windows firewall also.

I've uninstalled ZA and now I can exit without any worries :-)

Thanks guys
