Lots of crashes on ZS

[Silver Dot]

Since I have started playing Mr.Green ZS (and it is awesome, btw) I have been loving it, but crashing more.

I can't minimize the crashed game, forcing me to restart my entire computer, which is annoying.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Try pressing enter.

Often its a CRASH:BLABLABLA PRESS OK TO CONTINUE you cant press, if you press enter.

it will select OK.

If that dont work. i dont know what it is.

Several possible solutions:

- Upgrade video drivers

- Clean & re-install Garry's Mod

Also, please give us your PC specifications.

Ctrl Alt Delete and then on task manager go to processes and select hl2.exe and then press 'End Process' and press yes .

If you go to applications and try to close it down it might not work but with the processes it will always work.

How can I give you my PC specs?

press the Windows key and R at the same time and then type in 'dxdiag.exe' and press 'Ok' and then near the bottom of the page it'll say 'Save All Information' press it and then upload the file to something like filefront and then give Ywa and whoever else ask for you specs the download link

Nvm, happens to be the maps and detail I think..

I get low FPS on all source games because of my shitty video card.

(Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT)

And I dunno if I should send someone my PC specs, wont they hax me?

Your graphics card might be the problem yes. Buy a better one.

I found absolutely ZERO answers for crashes for garrys mod however upgrading windows xp to windows 7 completely solved garrys mod crashes for me and I've never had one since in the 2 months of using windows 7, with xp I used to crash once every 20 minutes

Your graphics card might be the problem yes. Buy a better one.

Aint that simple, in this case, he would have to replace everything exept RAM.

Processor, motherboard, video card, power source...

[Clavus]

A 9400GT is a low-end card, but it shouldn't be causing crashes.

[Silver Dot]

Your graphics card might be the problem yes. Buy a better one.

That costs maybe 5 euros in your country..BUT IN SOVIET RUSSIA GRAPHICS CARD BUY YOU!

Lol jk, I live in a fail country, where nothing is cheap/good.

It will be impossible to get one.

[Lemon!]

Nah, don't worry . You will find one.

[Holy]

Since i have the awesome Windows 7 i get less crashes than before but still some.

One important thing is to clean up your gmod folder.

Iam happy with my NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT

[Damien]

It should work just fine with that card. [ i played it with a 6200 once]. The only thing i could think of is xp that is causing all your problems.

btw: i have a hd4870 with windows 7 and works flawlessly
