Voltageman Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 most games have a console function...usually the "~" key(you may have to enable the console in the options of the game)..while trying to get into server open the console, and it should give you an error..Possibly there is a ping limit on the server? Or maybe they have as mod/map you don't have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattymcbluff Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 i would say buy a new card for cheap Im mean i have a old TNT2 that i would send you but the heat sink fell off and all out of black&red siclone and i cant find it and i runs all HL1 mods on my comp also play more then every thing will be chached and will load faster most of the time its b/c of server time out P.S i sent you one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltageman Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 im gettin a video card in a few weeks but i want to know if this is the vidoe card that is causin the problem or something else I would update, seeing that most new games won't even run with a vid card under 64mb...and they recommend 128mb on most..

fattymcbluff Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 try lanching the game in a windo its in the options menu in video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 no it just closes Try opening the console while it is loading...and watch the console log, and see what is says....Take a screen shot if you can.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattymcbluff Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 I would update, seeing that most new games won't even run with a vid card under 64mb...and they recommend 128mb on most.. not true b/c i had a 16mb and it ran fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 not true b/c i had a 16mb and it ran fine I didn't say ALL games..but if you read the specs on alot of games, ALOT require 64mb and recommend 128mb..For some Yes 32mb is fine or even 16mb... I am just saying games like Battlefield Special Forces for ex. wont run... 16mb is on the extreme low end at this point(for a large amount of games), and would not be excessive to update to at least a 64mb card..

fattymcbluff Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 ya what kind of person would try to play bf2 with a 16mb card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 ya what kind of person would try to play bf2 with a 16mb card When did I say someone would play BF2 with a 16mb card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattymcbluff Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 When did I say someone would play BF2 with a 16mb card? I don't think I did..I said Battlefield special forces wont run(referring to his 32mb card)..... He said he was buying a vid card, and my personal opinion is that it wouldnt be a bad idea to upgrade..I happen to feel 32 is a bit low, especially if he plays alot of games...You may think 16mb is fine...Your opinion. Am I entitled to an opinion? And I do know people who have purchased games for which their computer will not run because their video card cannot handle it. It happens.. ok isent BFS an expanshion for BF@ and your intilded to you opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
