Why does this keep happening...
« on: July 18, 2011, 08:34:41 pm »
Sometimes while I play Feralheart,the game randomly freezes on me and I have to restart the whole computer because when i press the x button it doesn't shut off. Does anyone know why this keeps happening?

If you haven't restarted your computer in a while, FH runs slowly, or if you have a bunch of programs running.

Has it been happening recently, or since you first started playing?
You shouldn't have to restart your whole computer if the only problem is FH not closing.
Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open the Task Manager, and Click on Feral Heart, then End Task.
If that doesn't work, try going into the Processes tab, and find FeralHeart.exe on there. That should close it.

If just the application freezes you can press
ctrl + alt + del

And then remove the FH.exe from the active list. Killing the game.

If the whole computer freezes however, and you can't even tab out of the game, kill it from the task manager etc. It could have something to do with that graphic card of yours or to make a really long shot, something like the processor getting too warm.

If you can't start the task manager and kill the game when it freezes, it might be something like the graphic card having troubles with running the game.

Yeah that happened too me too a few times, actually when the background music restarts playing again that's when I freeze. and sometimes I glitch/lag while running or zooming around the view points of my animals sightings.

With some computers, you can update your graphics card by going somewhere into control panel. Google that if it'd help. If it's like mine, you'd have to take it to a specialty store, though.

Everyone can update their own graphic card drivers by just visiting the home page of manufacturer for that card. The control panel is more used to delete old drivers.

There's a tut I made a while ago on how to install new drivers for some of the most regular ones. It might help for you aswell.
