Games Quit bug.

Post by **{uZa}FreakOfNature** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 6:20 pm

I've had this happen to me once as well. Straight to the Desktop in Full Bright with no errors.

AMD Athlon64 3200+
AGP Radeon X800XL (5.10 drivers at time of crash, now running 5.10a)
1 gig Corsair XMS memory
Hercules Fortissimo III 7.1
XPSP2

I had the gamma thing happen to me when I exited quake4. But I've never had it quit on me yet.

ATI 9800 Pro with 5.10a

Also my screenshots are all messed up, they don't use the brightness/gamma I setup in game. I have to photoshop them to the same level. :icon23: I've used screenshot & screenshotJPEG.

{uZa}FreakOfNature u have router?

Post by **R00k** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 7:20 pm

I've had this happen just a few times, in SP and in MP. It's fairly rare though, so I haven't given it too much thought.

I'll add a log file to my config in case it happens again.

Shouldnt happen anymore.

I found the gammafix odium posted worked for me, whereas none of the other tricks did. I tried the color correction, opening and closing Q4, and opening and closing Q3, but couldn't get it to revert to normal color until I ran that.

This just happened to me 2 times in the past 30 mins. This is getting annoying

I just played about 4 hours without seeing it. Very random - and rare, for me.

This was on the same server that kicked me out 3 times in a row at the start of a second match.

I posted this a few spots back, this worked for me, I am not having any trouble with it anymore. Not sure if anyone saw it.

I'll do that when I get home.

Didn't help.

Can you check out your Windows event logs? Every time it crashes it adds the folowing lines to my event log

The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 7.

Search this forum for gamma. Odium posted a file called gammafix.exe that will fix this problem. It's the only thing that worked for me.

ye, gammafix works, still crashing 10x a day though.

Post by **Psyche911** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 12:58 am

To fix the gamma on ATi cards, just go into your drivers and set the gamma to default, hit apply and it's back to normal.

I have had this happen about 8 times now, both in SP and MP. I just opened the port that Icon of Sin posted, so we'll see if that helps.

Post by **Psyche911** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 2:51 am

Well, I got the crash with the port opened. So that's not it.

Please, :icon15: & Raven, fix this. rgoer, let them know lots of people have this issue...

Solution

c:\windows\system32\OpenAL32.dll <-copy this file and rename it to OpenAL32.d_l, then drop it in same directory.

Post by **Psyche911** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 5:37 am

Leaving you with both .dll and .d_l in the folder, or just .d_l?

Has anyone tried to update this?
http://developer.creative.com/articles/ ... =38&aid=46

I have feeling that might help, so some brave could try.

NOTICE: I'm not responsible if you mess something, do with your own risc.

Status update:
I tried this myself... didn't broke anything nor help to this issue, so no need to install that.

Post by **{uZa}FreakOfNature** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 2:43 pm

I don't have a Creative Labs card, nor an OpenAL card for that matter. OpenAL is turned off and I've sttil gotten this problem.
