TS2 startup video freezes - Solved

<< < (3/4) > >>

Breadpazoid:
I got that to work - thanks you guys!

However...it still freezes for 10-15 minutes at startup. *headdesk*

So I guess it's not the video after all. Any ideas, folks? (PS: Thanks for all your help so far!)

bowrain:
Are you running the game in full screen? I play in full screen, and sometimes mine freezes like yours, but not for 10-15 minutes, more like 3-5 minutes, however, if I switch to desktop and then switch back to the game, it'll go to the loading screen almost immediately. I have no idea what causing it but it works for me :P

SaraMK:
Switching from full screen to windowed might be a good idea. When the freeze happens you could check Task Manager to see what's up, like if the program has stopped responding or if CPU is chugging at 100%.

It could be a RAM issue.

Are you shutting everything down, including unneeded stuff in Task Manager, before playing?

Breadpazoid:
I did run the game in fullscreen, but switched to windowed when I first installed it and had this problem, and have been playing in windowed ever since. The problem continues. Yes, I do close out unneeded stuff in Task Manager. Once the game gets going, I have little to no problem playing it - very few if any laggy moments, no frame rate problems, nothing.

I know for sure that the CPU only rarely hits 100% when I'm trying to get the game to run. I wonder if it is a RAM issue then, because when I close the game, it does the same thing, only doesn't freeze as long. The game will disappear but the .exe will show in the Task Manager still taking up a couple hundred thousand K or so. It takes maybe 5 minutes for the exe to disappear from the roster, and in that time, my whole computer is pretty much immobile.

As I am not good at troubleshooting RAM issues, how would I check this out?

Thanks for your continuing help!

witch:
How much RAM do you have?

Try a programme like Ram test, I think it's called. leave it running overnight.

ETA: Or memtest? I don't remember. Google-fu.
