ls35a Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Good news - the demo looks great. Bad news is it locks on me before I finish one turn. Does this run on Win7 64 bit? I'm running a very fast PC with lots of memory and a Radeon HD 6970 with the latest (todays) driver. After I move about half my squad I get noise through my speakers and the game locks. Then I have to do a hard boot. All suggestions welcome. PS: Game really does look great. I love the artwork and design. I absolutely think this could co-exist very nicely in the market with the new Firaxis game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellstormer Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I am in NO way a tech but that could be an audio issue not sure. Did you try rolling back your ATI Drivers to the previous batch and run the game to see if that works? I don't think it is a win 7 64 bit issue as I'm running that also with no problems. Sorry you are having a tough time with it - hopefully it can get sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavit Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm using Win 64-bit with no issues of the type you've described. It can't be the OS that's your problem. As far as video cards go, I'm just using an older nVidia card. I think it's a gtx 460 or something like that. Is there a chance that having the absolute latest driver is a problem? A one day old driver hasn't been around long enough for people to have reported obscure bugs regarding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Have you tried launching in safe mode to see if that does anything? It might be your soundcard/drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Maybe this is stupid but could UAC be the culprit? It messes up so many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Dunno if you have Symantec antivirus working on it too? For some reason that appears to hate Xenonauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Anyone else run with the radeon cards? Most people I remember talking to had nvidia cards and it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Anyone else run with the radeon cards?Most people I remember talking to had nvidia cards and it worked fine. I'm using a HD 4890. So, it's not low level graphical code issues methinks as all the crashes I get are bug related (ie, launching two transports at once etc...)

Gauddlike Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hmm if you have used the latest drivers as well with no problem then it is likely to be something more complicated, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Some guy just reported in the bug section that he had problems starting the game, but after downloading from a different mirror it seemed to work fine. Could you simply have a corrupt download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmorbid Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 After I move about half my squad I get noise through my speakers and the game locks. Then I have to do a hard boot. Stuff like that usually means it's a hardware problem. A bad hard drive could perhaps do that, or many other broken things. I had similar issues with my SSD drive before firmware update. If you have multiple hard drives, I'd suggest trying another one and doing a chkdsk on the one you're using now (doesn't hurt anyway). But if it's a problem that occurs ONLY with Xenonauts, then it could be anything, like a rare driver incompatibility issue, but having to do a hard boot is kind of a warning sign here, at least in my experience. Win7 generally is very stable, so it's usually a hardware issue. I hope I'm wrong and it's something really simple and you can get it fixed easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I have a ATI HD5850 with win 7 64 bit, and I don't usually get a lock up on my first turn, my lock ups and crashes come between 10 and 20 turns. You get use to it. Try reinstalling directx and sound drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
