Hi,

Just intsalled NOLF2 and having some trouble with it.

It keeps on locking up, screen going blank, or dumping me back to the desktop.

Installing the v1.1 download or changing the graphic settings down to minimum had no effect.

My system
Abit KT7A
Athlon 1.1 GHz
GF4 Ti2400
298MB Ram
SB Live Platinum
Win98SE
Am running the latest drivers for all the hardware.

It generally does this after about 5 mins of play, regardless of how busy the situation is, it's just as liekley to lock up while Cate's sitting in a corridor alone as when she's in a wide open space with hordes of enemies.

Any ideas will be much apprechiated.
 
Got it sorted now.

Thought at first it might be due to the SB Live / VIA chipset not playing nicely with each other problem, but all sorts of new drivers and patches and adjusting PCI latency made no difference.

The problem turned out to be that Athlon running at 77 degrees C. I've taken the side panel off the case and removed the power supply from its bracket and its running OK. The PSU in the tiny case I have (that's a very small case, nothing to do with Tiny(tm) computers) sits right on top of the CPU heatsink fan, stopping any air from getting to it. Silly design.

Running puter with guts exposed for now and CPU temp is a nice 44 C. Currently looking for a nice big case to transfer the system to so that it has space to breathe!
 
it might be me but i am running a ti 4200 now and i am not happy with the heath comming from it ..
i mean i didn't OC it yet .
leadtek one . big ass cool ribb , big ass fan .
still to hot to my liking

    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
  • The Helper The Helper:
