scope Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Ok, where to start. I got the game yesterday, patched up to 1.05 no problems. Passed mission two and decided to install v1.45 of Bret's weapons/new look ghosts mod. I used the unbundle method and followed it to the letter, but the mod didn't work in game so I thought nothing of it. Completed up to the start of mission 4, but the game froze on loading locking up my whole system. I rebooted, but now the game would not load. Even the uninstall didn't work, it would just stop (says its still running in the task manager but nothing was happening.) I even did a system restore to two days prior, installed with the same problems. It seems to load, but it takes about 30 mins to proceed to the next window (so the install splash screen takes 30 mins for the install wizard to start!!) Same when you load and get the "Ghost Recon ...." loading bar thing. Takes 30 odd mins for it to load instead of 15 seconds to get to the main menu. It then crashed again when I went to change my game settings to hard. I'm at a loss, can't understand the problem. Perhaps someone can give me some help? Even after uninstalling, system restore and installing again its not working The disc is fine no scratches or anything. Its really weird because it worked flawlessly until that level. I don't know if its bret's mod or the install thats porked it up. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!

scope Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Bump... Anyone? I've got a dead game until I can get this sorted. If anyone has experienced this before please help! By the way, just did a quick test. With the task manager up, you have two programs GRIN and GRAW2.exe. GRIN was running fine (I take it thats the load bar thing?) but GRAW2 is not responding from the very moment its started. Quite strange. Really at a loss with this, never seen anything like it. I would normally say bad install, but I've uninstalled and installed again with the same problem :'( HELP!! Ok, nearly 50 views and no help? Someone must have an idea of whats happening? Please guys, throw me a bone. Edited March 27, 2008 by ScOpE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Problem solved! It would seem that GR:AW2 doesn't like a fragmented HDD! A quick defrag and its working... how bizarre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJUK Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 mine has started to do this as of yesterday ?? i did a disk defrag but still the same ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scope Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling JJUK? If your experiencing the same problems it will take a fair while, but it may work in the end. I really have no idea why mine started, or if indeed the defrag fix was simply coincidence. Give it a go anyway, it would seem that this problem is by far just a "one off". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
