I have been playing Renegade since way before renguard was around. so I am familure with the game, and all requirements to play it. Then...along came renguard...

before I go on. I have included a dxdiag report.

Simple question: why is it that before i installed renguard..(yes I have the latest released patch)..My game never froze up once..but now..It is so bad that sometimes I have to reboot my PC as I cannot return to the desktop because the screen has froze up and turned dark.. Hmmmm??

Please refere to the dxdiag report before suggesting that I need more ram or a better video card..thank you!

compaq PC... need I say more Big Grin

whats your internet speed connection? If your using a 56k then RG *could* be using enough bandwidth to slow renegade down... but if you have anything better than a 56k then renguard's bandwidth impact will not be noticable.

Video card is overheating probably... I had Renegade freezing up alot. I found the cause, and the fan wasn't running anymore.... Open the case and see how hot it gets and maybe dust it out abit. Also Ren will crash from time to time, but it should not happend to often.

You didn't necessarily specify when it freezes. If it freezes when you close Renegade, just close RenGuard instead. Minimize out of the game, right click the RenGuard icon, and exit. It will close both RenGuard and Renegade without problem.

138 degrees is that for CPU or VGA? Which one it is wouldn't really matter I can tell you though for both it's not good and it might be done real soon with the component.

CPU should be between 30-70
VGA can get some more 90C is not strange

Also AMD Atlhon XP2400's don't have the built in thermal protection like p4's/AMD64's. So if its overheating it will just continue.

RenGuard makes my PC overheat!

Ever since i started using Renguard i have the same problem. The game plays fine and everything, but when I want to stop playing I click back, back, back, and quit, then click yes and it freezes. It wont let me exit out control alt delete or anything so I just have to turn my computer off manually. I'd say it happens 25% of the time I try to exit Renegade.

The freeze on exit bug is caused by BHS.dll, not RenGuard. Complain to jonwil about that.

Uhh I think this guy meant that its happening ingame when he's playing.


Install Renegade before sp2 to not have the exit freeze or just ctrl+ alt+del

I had that aswell, Renegade would freeze up for a minute and then continue. Had to buy a new PC.
