Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

I'm happy to report that all of my problems were resolved after buying a used Geforce GTX 960 off Ebay. Now everything's back to normal, including the green analyzer. Simple! :smile:

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

I have no idea exactly what kind of a "partner" you are talking about. Whether it be a computer opponent, or if you play online with a live human friend, this comment may not pertain to you at all, but I'll toss it out here for anyone that has never heard of this issue. Sorry for not bein...

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

Oh and mainertodd, if you really care about using the GA, you could always try this if you want: -Start Links -Press "Quick Start" > pick any fast loading course that you think has low risk of messing up the GA > "Begin Play" -Instantly open the Green Analyzer. No issues? Good. ...

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

Just for fun, I removed dgVoodoo again to see how things would run. I was able to play at 1920x1080 at normal speed, with the green analyzer working perfectly. However, I was still getting fairly frequent crashes while playing with a partner, and I couldn't use custom skies. So, it seems I have two ...

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

Just out of curiosity, is it likely that my problems would go away if I added a dedicated graphics card? Or are these problems more intrinsically tied to Windows 10? If adding a card would help, does anyone have any recommendations for a relatively inexpensive one that would work well with Links 200...

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

This makes me curious because this would destroy my current thesis. There are people who regularly use the GA who never ever run into issues? Or is it possible you simply hadnt run into issues because of not using that setup for many times? I dont know, just curious! I used it without dgVoodoo for ...

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

-There are 2 types of courses. Type A causes freezes and thus inevitably crash to desktop about 20-80% of the tests. Type B has an issue 20-70% of the tests where the camera inside the GA eternally zooms out and away and I have found no way to stop it. Occasionally and depending on shot angle into ...

Re: Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

Hi Todd... Try an experiment for me. First I'll explain why. I've read that some of the computer crashes that occur when using the green analyzer is caused by the way the course designers structure their seam blending. Some designers create them with one method, while others use a different method....

Green analyzer causing Links to freeze (and other issues)

Hi all, I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 10 and am trying to get Links to run again. I have a desktop with an Intel i3-4170 processor and the integrated HD 4400 graphic chip. Links worked perfectly in Windows 7 at 1920x1080 resolution. Since upgrading to Windows 10, I've reinstalled the ga...
