A Freezing Issue

MattStewNYY · 10-11-2005, 01:38 AM

I am having a freezing issue with 6.5. I played OOTP 6.12 on my previous computer with no problems, however, my friend had similar issues at the time to what I am having now, and it is causing my season's stats to be erased, to which I have to use a backup about 18 times a season (literally about that many).

After each game, my OOTP seemingly bogs my system down for a few seconds (around 5) as it loads the post-game browser and flips back over to the main menus thereafter. In this process, OOTP goes to "not responding" every so often. Most of the time my computer works through the process and the game recovers, therefore saving everything, but about 12 to 18 times a season the dreaded "Illegal Operation" window pops up, for which I have to close it, reopen my season to see my standings still viewable but my stats completely gone.

I would very much like to get another season going, but the freeze issue makes it very hard to, as I have to backup before and after every game, and then reuse the backup, make copies, etc. several times a season.

My system:

Windows XP Pro
3.2 GHZ Processor
160 GB HD (125 free)
1 GB DDR RAM

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it is more than just a game issue. Have you done a clean fresh install of your OS recently? My only game suggestion would be to change the browser that the game uses to open the box scores, etc.

Well, I've had no freezing issues with any programs on this computer in six months of owning it other than OOTP. How do I change the browser?
