It's your crappy computer, most likely. Newer computers rarely lock up during online gameplay. I suggest getting a new computer. Some games lock up on PS2. It happens more often on the older PS2 consoles than newer PS2s. This is why you never should buy consoles when they first come out; wait until they update it.

I'm guessing your processor is too small or your hard drive space is too little... I guess it could also be your video card, but if you have played it before, it shouldn't be that.

Try one or more of the following: Scan disk Disk defrag. Shut down extra tasks and processes (ctrl + alt + del) I think its most likely a extra process you have on. Try it. Let me know if it works, Good luck

We need to get your computers specs to know for sure. What's you processor speed? How much RAM do you have (very important) and how much free memory do you have? How much Video RAM and what's your Video Cards Processor speed (very important)? how many background programs do you have running? What DirectX version are you running? These would help for us to determine what's going on.

My guess is the Video Card. I have the same problem. My computer works fine with everything except playing games, the better ones at least. The problem with computer games is that they make new ones and the newer they get the older your computer will get. Check if the game fits the Video Card requirements of your computer that could be the problem. I have had this problem many times.

It may not even be your video card. Have you checked to see if your drivers are up to date? That happened to me when I got a new video card a long time ago. I though it would play steam games alot better but they always froze on me. I googled around and a lot of places suggested updating drivers. So I went to the NVIDIA site ( since my card was NVIDIA I went there, if you had a ATI please go to the ATI site  ) Anyways as soon as I updated the drivers and restarted my computer the steam games worked great and I was able to take advantage of my new graphics.

I was just wondering what everyone would put down as the greatest game of all time. I personally
would rate Final Fantasy 7 as my all time favorite, but I'm sure a lot of people would disagree.
Here are my reasons for this: 1. for its time it had really stellar graphics and the movies were
the bomb. 2. Very inventive story line with a lot of side quests going on and things to do. 3.
Very likeable characters like Cloud and that vampire dude. 4. The game itself didn't feel
confining and you were free to explore a lot. 5. As you progressed through the game ...

Does Gaming Affect Behaviour...

Before I start, I want to make something clear. I do not believe that the following is an excuse
for the increase in violent crimes and attitudes. I do believe that it is one of the fundamental
factors, brought on by the irresponsibility of game creators. For at least the past 10 years,
people have taken part in heated discussions over "does gaming make us more violent". That in itself
is ambiguous. Gaming doesn't make us more violent. What it does is feed our imaginations. I

differance is what happens when you crash with out that helmate. When you hit the ground in Tony

Games That Have Bad Endings....

I hate them. Think of how movies are..they are like video games. A bad ending to a movie just ruins
it, even though the movie overall was good, kinda like video games. So in the case of video games,
its just even worse because a game takes up more of your time than a movie does. One game for
example is: X-Men Legends I liked the game overall before I saw the ending. After the ending I
hated it. I spent a lot of time playing this game and was expecting a decent ending and all I got
was crap. The end credits could of at least had some music in it. I can't believe I w...

Quality Of 'good' Games

What do you seek in a game? Graphics? Good storyline? And when is too much, too much? I personally
think there is too much graphics in today's games, and it seems to be a epidemic within the
devloping community that more graphics means better games, which is defiantly not true. You just
need to looks at DOOM 3 and see how much of a dud it was. Nice graphics, but poor AI, gameplay etc.
sent DOOM 3 crashing into obvilion. You look at games like Natural-Selection, which uses the HL
engine (which is 6 or so years old) and how it has become more popular independent Half-...
Favorite Classic/old School Games?

What are your favorite or most fondly remembered classic games. Personally, I have to wonder how
much games have really evolved when I think back to my old favorites and new games leave me wanting
in comparison. I don't think it has anything to do with technological development but rather
whether a developer is able to accomplish their goals for a game regardless of what technology is
available. 1. Marathon. This game was my very first mac game and one of the first 3-D shooters
ever. It had such a dark, gritty and claustrophobic atmosphere and I'd also probably ...
