crashing

[TRAFMAN]

RCT3 keeps crashing!

some levels work fine 100%, but other crash either at random intervals or after about the same amount of time each tie it try to play it.
i have the patch


my system is well within the minimum:
Athlon XP 2800+
Radeon 9800XT with version 4.12 catalyst drivers
1024MB RAM
MSI K7N2 mobo


i have updated to the 4.12s (properly), and reinstalled the game several times, yet the problem still persists.


help!!!

EDIT: fergot to mention, sometimes it crashes straight to desktop, and sometimes to a plain blue screen (not a BSOD). it never gives an error message.

Your specs seem pretty good - and you have done pretty much what I would expect so am shooting in the dark here. (am better on game probs than hardware) So silly qustion but have you checked your sound card drivers?

CTD's normally indicate a hardware/driver problem somewhere even dodgy mem chips can do it (i.e. when the app hits that certain mem resource it crashes out - had a similar one myself that nearly drove me nuts - as it was nigh on a brand new PC. Therefore I couldn't belive one of the components was dodgy) Also have had more probs with my soundcard (which was on board) so just replaced it with a proper SB - and it has sorted various niggles I had grown so acumstomed to I didn't realise were there (unti they were gone:)

Other than that try the FAQ above and even the US forum (suggest a search there as they have 1000's of posts)

i have onboard sound, and its all done on my unified MOBO driver. i doubt it's anything like a dodgey chip, as i have had my pc for over a year and never experienced a problem like this in a game.
