Another wierd crash

well..i cant run the US regional settings...because of the date stamp format...we have DD/MM/YYYY here in australia and some other differences in regional settings...but even then...i cant understand why i have so many problems with the game...my last installation was last november and it ran fine. must be the shyte board

It could be your board but no one else has reported problems with KT600 in this or other forums. Maybe something is wrong with your board?

The XP problem with regional settings occurs sometimes only after you start a multiplayer game (even for a few seconds). Maybe on your last inatallation you didn't start MP and on this one you did?


If you think it might be the regional settings, there are 2 fixes described here:

Well...i decided to put my Nforce2 board back in til i get my Athlon64. I hope there are no problems with the 64bit cpus.
my friend will get my KT600...oh...but im not doing that only for EOC...it was just der Tropfen der das Fass zu ueberlaufen brachte
its still my favourite game.
Any info on the Athlon64 and Chipsets in connection with EOC?

I tried your suggestion with the entry in flux.ini...and it worked for one time.
but it still freezes when it loads the space grafix..(LADE Screen) or if i start a new game it freezes in the 1st second
of the intro movie.

I thought i paste you my flux.ini...i find it weird that there is no video_driver specified

That is wierd and very likely the problem (not your KT600)
For some reason the game can't find your video driver, which means, as far as the game is concerned there isn't one there.

That may be a XP issue, and it still tries to use the old VGA driver, or is defaulting to the very first one it ever loaded.
Maybe it won't load the drivers because your system is set to refuse non-whql qualified drivers?

I would:
run dxdiag to see what it says about the video drivers and note that down.
(While in dxdiag, change the setting from "WHQL only" to "ask first")

Try to re-install the motherboard driver and the video card driver.


If that doesn't work (and you feel comfortable doing it):
remove the vga and video card drivers from XP. (if necessary in XP-safe mode)
re-install the motherboard vga driver
re-install the video driver
re-install DX9
run dxdiag
