    [​IMG] We don't have any ogres, but I'll try to help. ;)

    First list your system specs, what OS you're using and what exactly you do to produce to freeze. And, of course, install the patch if you haven't already.

    [​IMG] Thankyou for reading my message:book:My operating system is windows XP and I running a 3 month old cicero sc2120 with Intel Cel 1Ghz CPU, 20GB ATA 100 5400RPM hard drive. My refresh rate is at 60 HERTZ. The video card is a 16mb SiS 630/730. My hardware exceleration is set at full. The colour quality is set at 32 bit and the screen resolution is set at 1280 by 1024 pixels. Is there anything else I should tell you? Oh yeah...I have 368 MB RAM. I hope you can help me. I really appreciate this:roll:
     
  4. Try change the texture pack to 16 or even back to the Combaitability Mode, If that doesn't work. Then try to update your drivers for your Video card.

    Try turning your Hardware accl. down a couple of notches. With a 16 meg card you are right at min. spec, upgrade your card if you can.

    I guess so yes, a GeForce 4 might be able to let this game run at 1280*1024*32-bit but I think it is a bit too optimistic for a 1 GHZ celeron with a less good videocard. For high end pc's, I just recommend to play at 1024x768
