Rrenegade crashes


Recommended Posts

Sometimes (not all the time) when i switch to desktop, my renegade crashes..

Does it happen to u too?

Posted

Yep, it does happen to me(and several other folks I play with). For what it's worth, I use a monitor with a displayport cable.

Closing other monitors and running on a single one helps a lot with this issue, not only with Renegade but most of the older ones that I still play (Dungeon keeper, Theme hospital, Red Alert 2, Sim Tower...). The fact is that these games were never designed with multiple monitors in mind and resolution awkwardly fucks them up for some reason.

Maybe just alt-tabbing in your case causes this but in my experience, running on multiple screens exacerbates this issue.

I recently bought the whole C&C collection from EA because I wanted to play the good ol' RA2 campaign and my CDs weren't working, and I ended up trying playing the Renegade campaign as well since it's been a while and you see, as opposed to multiplayed which I played extensively on dual (and lately triple) screen, I couldn't play shit the campaign on that "official" game without disabling the other screens first. Sucks but I'm not that surprsed...

In detail i will try to explain what happenes when it crashes..

When i switch to desktop n try to switch back to ren, the screen freezes.. Mouse n keyboard dont respond.. I cant do anything for about 40 secs..

Then screen freezing ends and I open task manager.. It says renegade not responding.. So i do end task renegade..

This is what happenes when it crashes for u?

Yes, this is a known issue. No idea on the fix. If you tab out multiple times it will happen.

On older cards nvidia fixed it with firmware. Its GPU/driver related. Some people solved it with changing HDMI to DisplayPort as output.

Windows 10 was what started that crap for me.

Well this should be fixed with a patch..

i got someone to look into this, he´s currently gathering info. if you guys reading this would post this info it would be appreciated and might help to create a fix of some sorts:

Player Name, Do they get Alt+Tab freeze/crash (Yes/No), All the GPUs including onboard ones, Desktop/Laptop, Monitor Count, GPU that powers the Monitor that Renegade runs on (can be checked from Options > Configuration > Video in-game

Alt+tab freezes for me only after 3 Times. I use single Monitor. Nvidia gtx1070 (some Special Edition)

I found a solution when alt+tab doesn't work (freezes):

1. window key + tab

2. create a new desktop and click on it

3. open task manager from the new desktop and kill Renegade

4. win key + tab to bring up the desktop selection screen so you'll be able to switch back to your original desktop (and close the new one if you wish)

Is this a desktop? And the monitor is connected to the graphics card?

It's windows 10 that messes up everything. I've never had any sort of issues with 7 or even vista, game related or not.

Can't do much besides trying not to alt tab. Mine also crashes when changing maps so I have to quit the game and rejoin.

HDMI Cable to GPU
