    It loads all normal, goes into game menu, filters, then while connecting to server, the game just quits to desktop without any warnings or errors. And yes, he has enough memory, yes he has enough disc space, yes he has newest directX (plays with opengl tho), and he has geforce 4 Ti video card.
    So what could possibl cause the problem. Oh and he has Windows xp pro. Everything else works fine, even HL and CS but not NS...
    Maybe the WinXP is causing some **obscenity** in NS?

    Anyone aware about Xp compatibility?<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    has anybody found a fix on the problem of the game just closing itself? it's not related to hardware, Direct3D or OpenGL since it only happens in NS and not in CS, DOD or TFC.

    hey guys, might I sugest 2 things to yalls:

    1) do a search before asking stuff (often you problem has ben ans)

    2) if you are looking for help, create a new topic and post all of your info

    ok, all yalls with the 'proticall not set to 46 thing, do a search, it has been ans and I don't know the ans

    It works with XP, you have to give more sys specs (like details ) and exactly whats up

    @ElectricSheep try running in open GL mode, that might fix your probs (it borks under D3D and software)

    @goerdje Don't run from the desktop icon

    @ShawnD there are alot of things that could do that, again start a new thread and give us all your sysspecs and we will try to help <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    i'm having the exact same problem an' i can't seem to fix it either. i've reinstalled several times and changed the graphics options but it hasn't helped. i've looked around but there doesn't seem to be anyone whose knows how to fix it. Anyone got any ideas on how to unscramble it?

    Thank you, and for the last few who posted here:



    @mat and Rhod

    NS does not support Software mode, use either OGL or D3D (preferably OGL b/c it is better). If your G Card dosn't support either, I am sorry but you are screwed mate

    oh and it is gotten to via:
    Config -> vidoe -> Video Modes


    @INVICTI
    Don't use the desktop shortcut, it is bugged <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    <b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Windows Messenger Spam Minimizes Half Life</span></b>

    Go <a href='http://annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-300' target='_blank'>Here</a> for removal (free, not some $20 thing to get rid of it)

    If browser based popups cause the game to minimize:
    Easiest thing to do is close your browser before playing NS
    Or get <a href='http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pow.htm' target='_blank'>POW!</a> from <a href='http://www.analogx.com' target='_blank'>AnalogX</a> (Netscape and IE only)
    Or get <a href='http://www.mozilla.org' target='_blank'>Mozilla</a> and disable all unrequested pop ups

    Instant Messege Pop-Ups:
    Disable it before playing, or get <a href='http://www.trillian.cc' target='_blank'>Trillian</a> and use its away window to contain them (Trillian replaces Y!, IRC, MSN, AIM, ICQ all in one)

    mIRC Query Windows:
    Alt-O>IRC> Check Iconify Query Window

    If its some other spam from something you don't know about it is probably adware:
    Go <a href='http://www.cexx.org/' target='_blank'>Here</a> To learn about it, then get either <a href='http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/' target='_blank'>Ad-Aware</a> or <a href='http://security.kolla.de/' target='_blank'>SpyBotSD</a> to remove it

    If there are any more, PM me about them, I'll try to find a way to solve it

    You are running in software video mode. Switch to openGL or D3D via the HL vdeo options menu. Software video mode is not supported by NS.
