Pariah Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Greetings All, Because I am the long winded type, will give a bit of a background. Bought a new game (UFO:Extraterrestrials) so I took a hiatus from GRAW to play that. Then my old headset/microphone died, so I bought a new one, but it was cheap and broke in two days, so I bought a better (Altec Lansing) one. A week or so ago, I tried to play some GRAW, the game would load up but when I tried to get to Campaign or Multiplayer, the screen would change and the bottom left corner would go all white while the rest of the screen went black (ie 3/4''s black). I didn't think much of it and went back and finished my other game and now ready to play some GRAW, only the error still persists. Only nothing, to my knowledge was changed. The game just quit working. As a side note, HSantal, the microphone still won't work. When I plugged the new headset (with mic) in, I had a speakers plugged in the back on the computer (headset was plugged in to the front of the computer). When I shut off the speakers, I could hear via the headset, but even unplugging the speaker would not get the Mic to work. In Teamspeak, Push to Talk lights the green light but nothing carries. Voice Activated does not work period. Boosting does nada but gives me some static in my headset. My system, sadly is a Vista machine, I haven't been paying attention to the Updates, so I don't know if a patch has modified the system. ACER Dual Core AMD 2 gig of Ram nVidia 7600 GT Widescreen/Flatscreen monitor Sound Card is native to motherboard (Realtek HD Manager) Thank you for your time, Albert - Pariah - eastwoodaen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to check but I know mine had to be changed to use the USB headset I use as my Default sound device. I also know that it did get changed by itself at least once. It may have been an update along the way. I'll get back to you on that. Secondly, I would definately check the Vista updates to see if/what may have changed.

Pariah Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 No one bit on the 3/4's black part so I got some more info from the Problems Reports and Solutions in the Control Panel. Description A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows. Problem signature Problem Event Name: AppHangB1 Application Name: GRAW.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 452e39af Hang Signature: a7b5 Hang Type: 2048 OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Hang Signature 1: 2b9da2040f1496cfbca81617590c4444 Additional Hang Signature 2: fca6 Additional Hang Signature 3: 07ecb3bef85a2f8cd21d9b10884e5e61 Additional Hang Signature 4: a7b5 Additional Hang Signature 5: 2b9da2040f1496cfbca81617590c4444 Additional Hang Signature 6: fca6 Additional Hang Signature 7: 07ecb3bef85a2f8cd21d9b10884e5e61 If I am reading this right, I have a bad file and my first thought is that I have to blow off GRAW and reload. Obviously this is not something I want to do except as a last resort. Does anyone read something else? HSantal, The Altec Lansing headset is not USB, it is old plug style. The speaker I had plugged in the back of the box was old plug style as well except it did have a USB plug (it was stealing juice from the puter to power the speakers). Could the USB plug screwed up with anything? In XP, everytime I had to install a new microphone, there was always a section in the Sound Properties where I would have to clik the mute button off, only I can't find that section, if there is one now in Vista.

NoQuarter Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I've never seen a similar error to yours posted here; are you able to change video & audio settings from the ingame options menu? Probably not of much help but, if you haven't already done so, cleanup & defrag your system, check your drivers for any updates (ForceWare in particular), and last but not least, uninstall/reinstall the game & patch. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
