Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on June 03, 2005, 01:07:13 am I wouldn't do any do-it-yourself stuff yet. This early in it's life, just call Applecare (all info found in manual).
Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: .vooDoo. on June 03, 2005, 01:09:10 am Actually, what I would do is run "Repair Disk Permissions"(applications/utilities/diskutility) at least twice. Run it 2 times in a row. Then go from there.

Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: .vooDoo. on June 03, 2005, 01:16:24 am Then do what Myst suggested. :)
unles of course your running a pirated version of Ghr and thats what causing all your errors. And in that case dont contact Apple ::) Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: *humanSHIELD on June 03, 2005, 01:20:41 am ::wall::
Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on June 03, 2005, 01:21:21 am I'll bet half a Canadian Cent, that Apple will tell you to go talk to aspyr if permission repair doesn't work. Then Aspyr tells you that it's hardware, so Apple will have to handle it. It happens so often, in the end Apple will probably tell you to take it to the closest Apple Store or authorized Reseller for analysis.

Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: *humanSHIELD on June 03, 2005, 02:18:38 am any other suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else? btw..it has been working wonderfully for the last 6 months...don't understand why it would do this now...
Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: DarK. on June 03, 2005, 06:10:47 am be sure and delete any .plist 's before you reinstall... And any other files from GHR on your comp
Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: .vooDoo. on June 03, 2005, 06:18:11 am Did you recently download any mods? If so deactivate it and delete it. If that doesnt work reinstall Ghr and make sure to trash any pref file related to it.
voo Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!! Post by: BFG on June 03, 2005, 10:31:20 am yeah, wipe any reference to GHR from your HD, mods, updates, pref files, EVERYTHING. Then repair disk permissions again! (sorry hehe) and Zap your PRAM ... then and only then try doing a clean install of GhR from your installer CD - but don't add any mods or anything just try and run the clean game.
btw... you didn't mention what system are you running? IM assuming its 10.3 .somthing? Title: Re: Crashing and Forcing me to restart!! HELP!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!! Post by: th.Sentinel on June 03, 2005, 11:59:40 am Did you try running the game in a different resolution?
I heard some rumors about crashes caused by non standard screen resolutions. If that doesn't work, could you specify where you did your ghost recon install? Are you the admin on the computer or do you play under another account? |
