game loading issues

[Adrian87]

Hello.

I've been having some problems with loadings.

First is when i am starting the game. Sometimes i get a black screen when i am starting game (this happens around 1 out of 4 times when starting game), task manager just show game not responding.

Second problem i get is loading sometimes just stops. It happens when i start the game or when it loads a mission. At starting game loading stops about 1 of 4 times. At loading missions stops loading more often, somewhere around 1 out of 3 tries. In this case game does not actually freeze, it just stops loading. The loading animation is still running, task manager shows process as running, but with 0% of cpu used.

It does take me a few tries to be able to play a mission. Also i should mention that loading does not always stops at the same point. I don't know if its matters but, i also noticed that it never stoped at last third of the loading bar. As a point of reference i took the word "warframe" right above loading bar. it can stop loading anywhere from W so second R, but it never stoped on the last 3 letters AME.

I dont know if it's useful but:

@OP some of those parts are quite old.

Not to say the game shouldn't run but here are a few things I noticed:

1. Windows XP is no longer supported by Microsoft, simply it's a dead platform. I would highly recommend finding a newer OS

2. Also pick up a newer graphics card, there are cards out there for 50$ that's better than what you currently run.

Yes. my specs are bad, but i already knew that. Maybe i'm wrong but i think the game should run just fine (i play on low-medium) even with my low specs.

That still doesn't explain why it's almost like a random problem. If it was bugging on certain maps or on certain points in loading i would have though it's my pc, but since sometimes loads sometimes does not i don't think its my specs.

Thanks for taking time to answer, but i was expecting something more helpful then buy new stuff. I don't really feel the need to explain my financial situation, but that is not a possible solution at the moment.

LMAO if Adrian87 have bad speces then what u say about that:

Windows XP Professional

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2,4GHZ single core

G-Force 9400 GT 1GB

3GB RAM

and the game is running from 15 FPS to 90 FPS (in elevator especially :D) so dont S#&$ if some1 who have dual core have bad PC ...... and anyway

1. i would have windows 7 but my PC is TOO LOW to get that with smooth running....

2. yea give me money and i will buy better .... not every1 have job or earn money to buy better PC as for example i am .....

anyway i posted on "FREEZE BLACK SCREEN ?! AND CAN'T JOIN ?!" topic that i have same issue that is mentioned there and here in this topic.

I suspect it might be related to QueryPerformanceCounter / RDTSC issues on old Athlon processors. See Microsoft support articles:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;895980

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909944

There are two tickets open with similar machines and I'm waiting to hear back the players to confirm this theory; we might be able to work around this but in the mean time it might also be solvable with chipset driver updates.
