Crash on server creation. Options

[dukeextreme]

NS crashes when I create a new game. But it runs fine when I join games. After it crashes and I start up NS again. It'll say that I can't run in OpenGL and it will run in software mode. From there I cannot change from Software Render to OpenGL until I restart the comp altogether. After restart, I can join games fine, but will crash again if I create a server.

Unfortunatly, there are very little options open to you with your older PC to increase performance short of upgrading some hardware. First thing I would advize is to close down everything you don't need running like A/V software and such. Then reduce your in-game screen resolution to as low as you can stand and update all your drivers where you can. Lastly, a simple scandisk and defrag will help keep everything running as smoothly as possable.

Another thing to keep in mind is, the more bots your running, the more CPU time they will eat. Try keeping the number of bots down to help keep frame rates up.
