For the past two months I can’t remember a time when my version of 2142 hasn’t hung or crashed mid-game. You guys should feel honoured when I say goodnight ‘cos normally I have to reboot it. I’m pretty sure that that’s not good for the PC.

I think I’m going to take the plunge with Xubuntu Linux on my PC as a dual boot machine with XP, just to see if it’s any better.

My PC works fine with everygame I play Quake 4, Neverwinter Nights, Homeworld 2, Rome Total War and OFP. Only 2142 causes any problems, although I’m sure I’ve plyed it more than any of the others.

just a thought. But isnt 2142 based more in directx? (hence being unable to alt tab) or am I imagining that? anyhow what about a clean install of directx9.0c and see if that makes any difference?

I’ll give a few of these suggestions a try, but I’m more inclined to believe that it’s something to do with EA. However I have played over 318 hours of 2142, so if there was any game that I’d expect to recieve a lions share of problems with it’d be with that.

BTW Johnny, the Alt Tab thing has started working on my PC since the latest EA patch, which is handy.
