[TM2] Game sometimes freezes between runs

[Hadoken]

Every so often the game freezes on me. I would say maybe about every 30mins to an hour or so just after I've completed a run and viewing the replay times or just as I've pressed a button to start a new run.

Annoyingly it mostly freezes just as I press a button to start an official time! The only way out is the end maniaplanet process and go back in and all is OK again, except the official timer resets so I miss the official run... which is really frustrating!

It's never done it within the menus, only between runs/starting runs.

I can post system specs/logs if anyone can help?

Thanks!

Please uncheck the sound in the launcher and try again.

Thanks for the reply, I will try playing the game without sound for a bit.

FYI - I do have two soundcards, Creative Labs X-FI and Realtek (onboard) and the game freezes when using either one.

Hi, i actually had the same Problem. Turning off Antialiasing completely fixed it for me.

Maybe it works for you as well.

Hi Hadoken,
I too have had this exact same problem and know just how frustrating it is. A very nice person on these forums called v4nkw15h posted the following idea which worked wonders for me ...

I think I've solved this problem as far as my machine is concerned.

Last thing on Friday I disabled EAX in the sound options and managed to play for 30 minutes without a problem. I didn't want to report a solution too quickly after having thought I'd solved it before only to find out that I hadn't.

Anyway, I was away from the game over the weekend, but I've played for about an hour without problem this morning too.

So for me it seems like my sound chip is not so happy with EAX. Realtek High Definition Audio is my sound chip by the way.

Hope that this maybe helps some others.

All I can say is that after trying every other suggestion, this is the only one to give me so far 45mins of joyus freeze free racing.

I did try disabling sound and the game didn't freeze at all for the 30mins I played it for. I found it hard to play without sound!

Disabling AA didn't work and the game froze 10mins into it, just before a official time run again.

Thanks PsychoticFoetus, I will definitely give v4nkw15h EAX solution a try. I will let you know how I get on

Thanks all!
