Relentless Error

[Sunder]

I get this with other games as well, and several times a day. It really slows my playing ability down greatly. This occurs randomly throughout the game, usually not during intro movies. Sometimes restarting makes it a little better. Also got an error like this with the demo. I think it has something to do with my computer. Interestingly enough, another computer which has a mere 128 MB RAM and 16 MB Video card never gets this.

Specs:
XP Pro SP2
512 MB RAM
1.6 GhZ processor
ATI 9550 256 MB video card running latest driver version
DirectX 9.0c

ATI 9550 is that a radeon? It seems that most people who are having problems with FOT have radeon cards, google for known issues, or try using older drivers.

i have an ATI RADEON 9200 and don't have any problems with any of my games like that. maybe a downgrade is in order?

It is a RADEON, and everyone suggested getting the latest driver. The earliest driver I can get is off of the CD that came with the card, but that gave me errors as well.

I reformatted my computer a couple weeks ago, and tried using the motherboard's own 32 MB video memory. But just as much, I still got this error, and more crashes due to less memory.

I used to get that error every once in awhile with unpatched version of BOS, it was because I was running zonealarm firewall protection in the background... Maybe close all background programs and patch BOS? (dont know if you have patched it...)

It is patched, but I'll see if turning off my firewall seems to help it.

EDIT: Disabling firewall doesn't help, but having it at a lower resolution seems to make it a little bit better.
