I didn't plan on leaving things like this, something came up. I'm not sure if hybirdisdf was talking about multiplayer or not, but the new topic title I assigned is far more descriptive than "Lock Up Computer". Lets break down your post:

I ve tried to enter the game and it went locked up.
- Okay, so when you start up the game, it freezes your entire computer.

This is same old problem that i posted my picture at sfp forum about flash screen like lighting storm.

- Could somebody visit the starfleetplatoon forum and find his/her post? And could you please be more specific about the screen problem. Did a lightning storm cause your screen to flash? Does your screen flash like a lightning storm (if so, when does it flash like this). And by flashing like a lightning storm, does that mean it flickers rapidly, shows random colors on the screen, or what?


I dont play very much this month due to trouble old computer.

- Your current, outdated computer is giving you compatibility issues with launching BZII (or else playing BZII online if it launches correctly).

Normally,i played it every 2 weeks or 4 games per 2 weeks.

- Now it sounds like you were talking about multiplayer.

I will miss u all in game.

- Now I'm almost certain you were talking about multiplayer.

I saving for new computer.

- If BZII is crashing because your computer is too old to run it properly, then that is a wise idea. Be careful of the 8 and 9 series Nvidia cards, though. They've been known to cause problems with BZII.


Alright, so based on the data gathered above, the OP is having a problem with an outdated computer. The problem occurs on trying to join the game?

Please dont reply to things like that, its very hard to read.

To find your hardware specs, download Aida32 and explore around it a bit, most of it wont make sence for a non-techy, but its useful.

[hybirdisdf]

I cant find my pictures at sfp forum and cant paste it on here.I can emailed you?

When you took that screen shot, were you running any mods?  Or is that just a shell error?  I've never seen the shell do that with the stats boxes.

VSMIT.

No Mods.You see that cracks?Its not only frozen but in amination motion like lighting storm.I knew something is wrong either video card or driver.Maybe im wrong?

[Steeveeo]

First, reinstall BZ2. If that doesnt help, update your video driver, if that still doesnt help, check your refresh rate and see if your monitor supports it (improper refresh rates can provide a flickering effect, blank screens, and, I think, even hardware damage).

If that still doesnt fix it, good luck on the new comp.

Computer locks up when entering multiplayer game:

Some firewalls will ask you if you want to allow a connection when you try to enter an MP game.  If this question is in the background, as Zonealarm often does, you don't see it and assume your computer is frozen.

You can add /win to your Battlezone II shortcut, run it in a window, and that should let you see if this is happening.

If you're running a firewall make sure Battlezone II is listed as OK to connect both as a server and a client.
