ALRIGHT WELL I THINK I CAN HELP YOU right well make sure YOU HAVE OPENGL MODE ON and if it WONT WORK, DOWNLOAD THE LATEST DRIVER FROM www.nvidia.com

(you dont need to keep your caps locked weighted down to keep our attention, and im sure we all have memory spans longer than 5 seconds)

O_O *loosens rope around demon's neck*

Wow dude, chill out.

First off, lets ask a few questions:
1) Did you just install esf and its causing this problem from the first time u played it? --or--
2) Have you had esf for a while and it is just NOW happening? (which means, in previous times playing, it never crashed until recently).

If you answered yes to question #1, then my guess is you have a problem with your in-game video settings. Check your video settings from the ESF configuration menu. What type of video mode is currently selected. Sometimes with the older geforce cards, its not a good idea to run OpenGL. I remember when I had my geforce 2 GTS-PRO and tried running OpenGL, it would crash during beam attacks. So I switched to the other methods (not sure what they are-- I currently run OpenGL with my newer vid card). Try running your game in another type f video mode and make your resolution no less than 800x600 and no more than 1027x768 (or similar resolution, I don't remember the exact numbers but I know its close to that). If this doesn't fix it, I think there are 3 different video modes, so try the last one if you've done the other two with no success.

If you answered yes to question #2 from above, then my suggestion is to do a clean uninstall and reinstall. Backu-up any models you currently have replacing the originals. I don't know how ESF works with its registry entries, and whether those would have any remaining effects to your newly installed esf. I doubt they would carry data on your video modes or preference settings.

If these suggestions don't help, then try to be more specific with your esf game. List what video mode you use, your resolution, what sound options you have checked (HEX/HEA I think are the two hardware modes) and these could both affect your game if your sound clips aren't initializing correctly. So give the specs on your video and sound preferences.

Make sure you have the 41.03 nVidia driver for your GeForce 2 MX400. I had slow performance and bad crashes due to the 45.23 driver or you could try the new driver that got released in the last week or so. I downgraded to the 41.03 driver, and now ive become famous amoungst the ESF community (I haven't really......though i wish i would........*sigh* )

u could just not hold gen for to long and not regen..

hay guys thanks for your advice btw. i run in opengl and esf never crashed before and i'll try downloading the new driver. and use Ultimate's 17 good advice. But for now i can't do anything because of my frigin dad, he made me limited user on win xp so i can't change anything in the gf2 mx 400 settings so i'll try it later... oh yeh btw. supershenlon your sigs rox ass and i wander which programs you use.. (i'll reply again if non solutions help) oh yeh i didn't install esf recently cause i had and played esf sinds the beginning of alpha 2.5 thnx...

Demon out

NOOOOOO nothing works off all your things
i downloaded the latest driver and i turned op opengl but nothing worked... plzzzzzzzzz help me someone (maybe the esf team) i'm desperate.... :''(

Welcome to the wonders of windows XP, the most friendly system in the neighbour hood anyways i think ur CP is messed up, since this is only happening lately...

YOur video card shouldn't be the bugger, but i think you could try installing satan's esf pack, if you didn't already, it seemed to get rid of most bugs at other players, ...

btw u have any costum sprites installed?

i have custom sprites installed. but where can i download satan's esf pack?????? than i'll try it hehe and i got win xp how did you know..

But for now i can't do anything because of my frigin dad, he made me limited user on win xp so i can't change anything

Click to expand...

I think that's how he knew you had winxp.

Greetz

LOl yeah i did so..
well first i would try to deinstall those costum sprites... they could be your problem!

if that doesn't work get satan's pack from... uhm well... it should be here somewhere... well i know it WAS in his sig... but i dunno where it is located now, i thought even fileplanet had/has it.. so i'd check there.

thnx lost. but i have just to many custom sprites it will take hours lol..

Just do simple things like restarting computer......
Or you could reinstall game check drivers.
Or reinstall windows

done, done reinstall windows not done... still nothing happens..

uninstall esf and halflife. Then install fresh and download the updates again. Don't use ones on your harddrive becuase if you hard drive is going bad somewhat and a bad sector popped up in the wrong place then your just corrupting halflife with the bad setup files. reinstall, reinstall, reinstall!

but it will take hours because off all the sprites, special updates, maps, charecters and sounds i'll have to do that all over again and i'm to far lazy for it.. hehe

Uhm, what ur problem is is the costum stuff, it maked the game buggy, so i suggest not using them! then it works..

just de-install esf, delete the map, re-install and go play...
