Hi. I love Renegade, I do, but it's kinda difficult to love it when my computer dies while playing.
Basically, I'm playing on Westwood online for half an hour, maybe even an hour, and suddenly the screen goes black, and the computer is unresponsive until i press the reset button. This has happened several dozen times....every time I play Renegade online. This does not happen while playing other games such as Civ III, Rome Total War, Half Life 2, or other games that can be even more graphics intensive.
Once or twice though, the screen didnt go black, just distorted, and the sounds stuck around, though repeating, but the computer still needed to be reboot.
According to two tools I found, my CPU and vid card temperatures (when I crash) have reached around 45 deg celcius and 58 degrees respectively. This should be nowhere near hot enough to cause a system failure.
I have an AMD Athlon 3000+ CPU and a Radeon 9600XT Video Card, more than enough to play Renegade.
I am using RenGuard 1.03 with Renegade 1.037
Any idea what the problem could be?
