Title: A fix for the GHR crashing problem Post by: Jeb on January 03, 2003, 03:15:58 am Today before i hosted i quit the finder, i'd estimate it went thru 12 games without crashing before i stoped hosting. Also i'm in 10.2.3, and i think you need tinkertool installed to quit the finder from the dock, but this may solve the crashing problem

Title: Re:A fix for the GHR crashing problem Post by: Jeb on January 03, 2003, 11:03:44 am yes, however this cures the problem with joining thru gameranger (from my experience)
My mistake, this is the application that adds a quit the finder thing http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=11295&db=mac after setting it up right clicking on the finder icon in the dock will show a quit finder button, oh and the program has other cool features.

Title: Re:A fix for the GHR crashing problem Post by: Jeb on January 04, 2003, 12:10:26 am you can quit the finder while your running another app noob viper. Thats been going on for ever and ever. People usta make apps like that to give the game more memory back when computers sucked, but for some reason hosting ghost recon doesn't crash when you do that.

Title: Re:A fix for the GHR crashing problem Post by: Mr. Lothario on January 04, 2003, 02:22:10 pm OK, I hosted a good twenty games tonight with the Finder killed. Crashes still happened, but they were somewhat less frequent. Normally, I have a crash at the end of every second game. With the Finder off, it was about every fourth or fifth game. Better, but it's not a silver bullet, at least for me. YMMV.
Title: Re:A fix for the GHR crashing problem Post by: [[EUR]] HoloGram on January 06, 2003, 11:53:27 am Do not join Games out of GR. Than crashes will stop!
I think someone mentioned this already ;) Title: Re:A fix for the GHR crashing problem Post by: KoS PY.nq.ict on January 09, 2003, 09:33:38 pm I've hosted GHR in gr without it crashing before. Just as long as you're not hitting the mouse button right after the game ends it won't crash. There's some sort of error with the game ending and someone still trying to shoot afterwards.

tell application "finder" quit end tell Then save this as an application, and put a shortcut in the dock. then when you want to quit the finder, just click it and boom, its quit. :D |
