Well,
\nas for the question about the stability or not of my PC and Unreal II, I
\nthink last night I tied it down to Unreal II as other high intensity graphics
\ngames run fine for long periods. Unreal II will run for about 5 minutes or
\nso before crashing putting Windows into a state where the only active thing
\nis the cursor and the last sound sample is looping on the Soundblaster Live!
\ncard.<\/p>\n
I’ve tried the tweeking of the system as suggested on the support web site
\nand it made no difference whatsoever, it still crashes after about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
I’m guessing that the problem is likely to be partly due to the fact that
\nI have only(!!!!) 256MB of RAM in the machine. Unreal II managed to use over
\n400MB of virtual memory when running when I ran the Windows resource monitor
\nprogram. It’s monsterous! Not only that, but I saw an almost constant rise
\nin memory usage on the graph as time went on. Memory leak, anyone? I’m wondering
\nif they did any real testing of the program under Win98 at all. It’s most
\nprobable that they concentrated purely on XP and did only marginal compatibility
\ntesting on older Windows versions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
